Ciao everyone, here it's Marchettino and today we're driving an S2000 with at least 100.000$ under the hood!
Today I'm driving a crazy S2000, CRAZY!
Today I popped up to visit my friends at ACME because Abele, the owner of this insane S2000 was there and
now I'm behind the wheel because he's letting me have a go with it,
As you know I own my S2000 since a month but I asked you, should I keep it N/A or make it supercharged or turbo?
Finally, today I'm gonna find out what does it mean to fit a supercharger on this 2.0L VTEC!
I saw it earlier on the dyno for some tuning and it dyno'ed a whopping 380hp and 300nm!
Abele owns this S2000 since 5 years and he's been modding it since 5 years,
it was even stock a long time ago and now he completely changed it and I like the way he modded it!
This colour, pearl Grigio Telesto Lamborghini, amazing!
I'm a bit doubtful about the purple wheels though!
Nice wheels, not sure if I would have gone for this colour!
My goodness!
It's tremendously loud, it sounds like a plane about to take off!
The way it builds up the revs and reaches 9000rpms, it's like a motorbike!
It's an animal!
Here we have a copper clutch that is a bit tricky at slow speed.
The way it delivers the power, it's linear from the low revs all the way to 9000rpm,
maybe you lose a bit the typical kick of the VTEC that on my stock S2000 I feel from 6000rpm whereas here
we feel a lot more power from the low revs where the stock S2000 is dead,
you smash the foot on the throttle at low revs and it doesn't move!
You always need to keep it above 6000rpm if you want to feel the power and here being supercharged, you can enjoy the engine even at low revs.
This is madness!
The incredible thing is that today I'm driving a supercharged S2000 up to 9000rpm
and I haven't pushed yet 'till 9000rpm my S2000 so probably the first time I'll do it I'll be like " Uh, that's all? "
So later when I'll step out and jump on my car, it will be a trauma!
What an experience, I was so curious to drive such tuned S2000 and I'm speechless.
Of course according to the purists, this S2000 is denaturalized by modyfing the N/A VTEC that much
but I have to tell you it's insane to fit a supercharger on such engine, the result is..!
So much power and torque on a car that weights just above 1200kg, with an amazing chassis and a perfect balance,
this car on track - oh hey, finally I hear my voice!
This car on track and winding roads is pure pleasure!
I keep an eye on the fuel gauge and it's ridiculous how quick it gets lower!
On my stock S2000 the fuel consumption is quite honest even if you drive fast but here, my goodness!
By increasing the power so much, as I said the clutch ain't stock, it's a copper clutch but the transmission has been left stock
and as I already said on my S2000, on thing I like about japanese is that on the Honda sport models, they really know to make transmissions!
You can't ask for a more perfect transmission than this to me because
gear shifts are short, precise and sharp, magnificent!
I was considering to make the exhaust louder on mine but after having heard this I tell you.. NOPE!
I don't know how can you make trips with this exhaust because I'm shouting!
I don't know if you've seen in the back but Abele has fitted a ducktail wing
that was an idea I was considering on my S2000, as I said I might get rid of my wing to fit something less flashy and this ain't bad.
It's a kind of acceleration that keep you pushed to the seat and never ends, you keep smashing the foot on the throttle and it feels like 9000rpm never ends!
It's a very intense sensation, insane!
It's a good thing the brakes are powerful here!
By increasing the power very much, Abele did improved the brakes as well, in fact here we find bigger brake calipers with 330mm brake disks.
On my stock S2K the brakes are good,
but by pumping the engine so much, a proper upgrade to the brakes is a must.
Finally I hear something as we stopped back to ACME and look at this GT86,
as you see also this one's widebody, currently N/A but the owner is making it turbo shortly so also this one's gonna be interesting to show once ready!
Also this one's more planted to the ground as it's wider, Abele told me this is an handscraft project and overal it's properly done.
Look at how beautiful these LED rear lights,
by starting from this S2000 what mods should I fit also on mine?
Here we have a single pipe cannon, if earlier I was planning to make my S2000 louder,
after having driven this I'll stick with my already loud exhaust but I won't go more!
After having driven this I have a serious doubt whether to keep my car N/A or not,
not sure about the turbo because the great thing about the supercharger is that it's linear whereas the turbo makes the driving very rough and nervous so
what do you think, should I keep it N/A or I make the insane move?
I thank both ACME and Abele for letting me shoot this video and guys
make sure to Like the video if you enjoy it, subscribe to my YouTube if you haven't yet and as always thanks for watching, ciao!
