28307, s2k couldn't pass me Posted by mitseclps, Aug-06-02 06:07 AM
i turned on my profecB and put it on the lowest setting i could (the high knob) b/c right now my boost vac line isn't hooked up (thx to the egr pipe) but from past experince i know i was doing about 5psi. i pased him slowly and he pulls RIGHT on my ass as we pass some cars on the right and then he pulls into the other lane and we just let them rip thru 3rd and into 4th gear, and then i shut it down, he was right behind me the whole time, he pulled a little bid when i shifted into 4th (damn redline) but couldn't get by, at only 5psi! i'm happy. i'm having 2nd thoughts of selling her...mmmmm

Imagine what you can do at 15 psi. I guarantee you wont sell your car if you felt 15 psi.

i raced my buddy in his S2k a while back. Im auto, was boosting ~7lbs. we went from 30, and he let me have the jump.
got a quick 1-2 cars from the jump, then it stayed ~1+ cars all the way up to 115 when we both shut down (red light, d'oh, hehe)
both of us had a passenger
hehe, he wants boost more than ever now, cause he used to fuck w/ me before i went turbo, and now things have gotten a lil more fair ;)

Why shouldn't you be able to maintain a lead against a 240hp 2800lb car. Its like your car with RWD and less torque.

don't they do high 13 sec passes? i was just happy i stayed with it at that low boost setting.

Not bad keeping up with Honda's finest. I can't wait to take my car out to Route 66 and see what it is running at 8psi. I am hoping for low 14's maybe high 13's if I am lucky.

The top end on those should be crazy I'm just saying the power to weight ratio is pretty even. They put out about 195-200hp to the wheels. Its RWD is a big advantage.

Just saying the S2K (S2000) isn't really the finest :-) , its the legendary Honda/Acura NSX :-)

cool I don't see enough S2000 to really mess with them but I will if I see one bwaahhaa hell I even tried to get a Viper to race me one time I got scared when he changed lanes behind me though haha.
Bleh looks like your car is doin good I kinda lost to a supercharged solara, damn turbo lag he got me on the launch everytime but when I got to 3rd gear I would hella pull on his ass.

Well, maybe if your compression hadn't lowered itself to 1:1 or so, then you would have no problem. Time to do a rebuild, dood... :D -=B-=
