Engine advice
erwe - 8/12/05 at 08:34 PM

I bought a seven (caterham..)in parts without engine.
Gearbox is from a Honda S2000.
What engine should I use? I was thinking of a Toyota 4A GE (high revs) or something like that.
S2000 is way to expensive and I don't need more then 170 bhp for road use

if you have an s2000 gearbox, I would STRONGLY recommend saving up the money and buying an S2000 engine...........they are not cheap, but are cheaper than you might expect.

sounds like you'd be best off selling the s2000 gearbox and buying something else with the funds!

I agree. Nissan 200SX Turbo motor!!

Surely the S2000 box would have been mated to a S2000 engine would it not?

Or am I just being thick?

I tried a few 200sx's when on an engine hunt but found them a bit tame. Probably due to the small turbo.
