I understand that it is a forged bottom, but the S4 is all forged, but past 550tqs rods start to bend and catastrophe starts. So you better hope you're race gas tune doesn't destroy it. So what do we do.... buy chinese rods :P

Also, everyones right, that Tq # is uniquely low, I don't think I have ever seen a torque rating at almost half of the horsepower almost ever. It should be making atleast 300+ tqs.

I know you have Hondata which is the best option in this case other than Standalone, but who is doing this tuning for you and what is your AFR readings looking like?

Torque is uniquely low compared to what? On a dynojet with the stock motor in N/A form, it made this:



That's how these motors run. The torque is not low and my AFR's are perfectly normal for a turbo car. Tune was done by one of the best, Mase www.maseengineering.com

As far as destroying the stock motor - the F20C has been proven to over 600hp in stock form. There is one case of a person in TX that made 700 to the wheels with the stock motor. All in the tune.

Not exactly great torque but still better than what you are presenting. I'm assuming you only drive in straight lines.

It's cool. I'll take an RX-8 over an s2k any day.

So much tension in here..

why? you think it "looks cool?" maybe a 7 FD or C but not an 8

i would take an S2K over an 8 anyday

No I personally think it handles better...Plus, teams in the Grand-Am series race the 8(even though it runs the 20b).

[turboecho2005]

412whp... You should come back when you're making more power... My echo is still fast :P

[Sabretooth]

How many months till he breaks the rear end?

S2000s are hit and miss... I think they are fine as is, the problem you have created, now you have a car with alot of HP, but still falls short in making an overall package worth while.

Go back to the Dyno and try and get a tune with better torque numbers.

[Tamago]

typical torque for that HP on an F20C should be around 300lb/ft.


your tune is off.

mazda's 20B was a hell of a motor... I wanted to get my hands on a 3rd gen 7 and drop the 20B in it with a modest boost. Thought that would make one hell of a fun daily driver. Rotary FTW!

you're hearing those huge injectors.

yes, for huge injectors. it's a big solenoid, they click

[The Spectacle]

If its the loud ticking under the hood you're talking about, yes its the injectors and it is normal for this car. Stock injectors were actually louder.

If its the burble in the exhaust, its because the turbo manifold is unequal length like a Subie.

That horrible song in the video was too loud.

Please repaint that orange reddish whatever color of your car and get some new wheels too; then i'd call it good!
