That fastback roof... Totally makes the car look 10x more badass.
One of my favorite cars you've reviewed so far. Brutal Machine
Exhaust 1,000,000 / 10
The thing i never liked about LS motors is that they have no tone to them. Its nothing but rasp. Id rather have a happy medium. For example a coyote with full exhaust. Good for me right.
+Grombo idk i'd rather have a Boxer with Unequal Length Headers than Coyote, idk man those subi rumbles makes me feel some type of way.
FoolishTuning I feel like Subies have the rumble of a V8 but none of the roar.
+Tiny Turbo thats very true, the 5.0 roar is scary but the Subi rumble sounds beautiful at idle and can get very very loud.
LS just sounds brutal. It's a raspy howl. Sounds much more intimidating IMO.
5.0s sound very European and refined. A uniform rumble throughout the RPM range that smooths out at redline. Where the LS just sounds like... noise.
That has got to be one of the most beautiful builds Ive ever seen.
ikr
it's gorgeous
+Tj Hunt You're everywhere! 3rd time seeing your comments today lol
+Truth Man What's wrong with you? I've been following him for a long time and he makes fun and entertaining content. I see no reason why he shouldn't become "famous"
+Truth Man Get a life you sack of shit.
V8 just kicked in yo.

Its a tiny Japanese Corvette
more like a Viper
how is it in any way more like a viper with a chevy engine inside? and nothing dodge related in or around the car lol.
I'm not talking about engine or body parts. I'm talking about the way the car is made and looks, looks like a snake. Two seater car with a long hood and bay, I don't know looks like a mini viper to me m8
+Xteve _ He just means its a Japanese car, with an LS in it, LS are in corvettes as well.
yes obviously..
Love the "fast back" hard top. Gives it such a cool look
This.thing.was.bonkers.
What do you guys think of Tyler's S2000?!
Love the fastback!
+Bananasinpajamas ikr? Honestly the only way to make a s2k look good IMO
needs a turbo hahaha
I have to imagine that thing is as fast as a stock C6 Z06, if not faster. I'm an LS nut. The biggest reasons for that is because are relatively inexpensive to build compared to Ford and Chrysler engines, and they make 75% of their torque below 2,500rpm. Add this to the S2000 chassis equation, and you have a monster that really needs DRs for daily driving. Awesome video!

Why is Ash from pokemon reviewing a car ?
Hahaha
+Yer Boss such a hard hitting and original insult, dude, you destroyed him by calling him 12 even though there are now people of all ages playing Pokémon Go and getting into Pokémon lol
+Yer Boss or you know, they like Pokemon because it's fun to them
+Yer Boss an adult sucking their thumb is different from playing a card game though
+Yer Boss I was talking about regular Pokémon, not Pokémon Go, alot of the older people are trying to get into things with their kids but if they play by themselves, that's pretty weird
When your vtec doesn't kick in hard enough.
When you don't need vtec, and there is always all power here and hits 10times harder.
+eimantas28 lolol
And also hit the ground 10x harder as well once going over bumps lol
eimantas28 jokes on you. Fastest s2000 cars in the world have the original motor. None come close.
@@eimantas28 i mean a kraftwerks kit would put the stock motor a good 10 hp higher than this ls1...
That body kit
Not my proudest fap
Ikr
you my sir have no sense of style but it doesn't matter cause its you're opinion
+Joshua Seda He said nothing bad about it.
+Terrence Smith more like that booty kit
+ItsStance™ I know I was just saying as you can see I also said that it's ok cause its his own opinion
First time he says holy shit, MUST BE A HELL OF A CAR
or it scared him shit less
The black GT500 did as well. Lol
+ThatDudeinBlue yah that gt500 is a hell of a car. buddy's reaction vids are priceless
+cmac brown Sometimes in those special moments u really can't help but to let things like that out lol.. Goodtimes!! keep it up David!
I swear to God this guy looks like low budget Tom Cruise😂😂I can't be the only one thinking this.
That boattail top is easily my favorite part of this whole build..just makes it.
Big SAME. Love how it looks with that top.
Kinda looks like a cross between an s2k and one of the new supras. Especially from the rear.
LS2K!
ALMOST 400K WOOOO
Yaaay Evan, Love your videos :)
Yaaay Evan, Love your videos :)
Yaaay Evan, Love your videos :)
Yaaay Evan, Love your videos :)
SOOOO CLOSE!
My S2000 has tried to kill me a number of times when I first got it, and it is entirely stock. A V8 in an S2000, an already wonderfully twitchy car, is nothing short of insanity. That exhaust note on liftoff sounds like maniacal laughter!!
Na fam u jst don’t know how to drive. I’ve owned mine for yrs nvr has that happened to me 😂
@@albertvazquez9581
Depends how hard you drive it but iys a fact the s2000 driven by an amature is dangerous, but its a true driving car drive it properly its perfectly safe even at the limits
@@albertvazquez9581aint driving it hard enough lmao
Beautiful car s2K/lLS love your description on how you felt driving this beast! I envy your chance to drive awesome builds on different type of vehicles!
I drove a couple of the early S2Ks, with the 10,500 redline, and they were awesome when the motor got up on the cam. Made a really lovely scream above 7,000... That V-8 howl, though, is a whole other story! Loved the concentration face. Great stuff. Many thanks.
And here I thought I was done modding my s2k. Oh well. Here it goes again...
+Verik K I know that feeling all too well. 92-93 split year Olds Cutlass Supreme, swap to RWD T56 trans and a big V8 vs the old longitudinal V6 that was in it with the granny automatic. Would love to see a vid of that S2K before and after as well if you do one.
Im not sure about this one.... stretched tires.... no sun visor.... STOCK BRAKES WITH DOUBLE THE HP AND TRIPLE THE TORQUE.... important corners were cut. He should sell those Volks and get some brakes and regular wheels.
Thing is they're not even real Volks.
+Aaron Kulukjian doesn't matter if they are reps or not, it looks to be a straight line car; not for track/autoX...
+Aaron Kulukjian They look like Rotas to me.
+future62 This car is local and is complete junk. The ONLY redeeming quality is the swap. It has stock brakes, cheap ass coilovers, its falling apart, fake wheels, horrible body work, etc. Oh yea it's on $50 tires LOL
*****
Then he should have got a Camaro or C5 Vette. Fuck being PC.... this is a waste of an S2K.
this looks so good, the rear is just so beautiful it just makes me happpy
OMG I just fell in love!! That's the dopest car ever! I'm building one! That roof is so dope!!
The fast back look should be stock in my opinion
agreed. yet we pay more for less as a drop top.....it doesn't make sense
+Terrence Smith It's okay... I'd rather just a standard hard top. It looked good on this S2k, but there's many it doesn't work on.
This is a spoon style hardtop
+Terrence Smith I agree 100% It's the successor to the old S600/S800, if you google them, or even search them out on youtube, you'll notice they were produced in both a hardtop and roadster versions. I personally love the hardtop, the BMW M Coupe nailed that look for me. A shame the s2000 never had that option.
Possibly one of the best looking cars you have reviewed. I LOVE IT!
As a lover of s2000s I can appreciate this. I think you could get similar power out of the f20c
David I use to be against mustangs but watching your vids and seeing your motto of"it's your car do as you please" has brought me to getting a 07 gt. I LOVE IT!! Keep making vids
prob the nicest honda ive seen so far
💯
lmfao really?? I guess ur right cuz all hondas look like turds with wheels 👍
+dusk I'm gonna take a FWD Accord and do a RWD LS1. Oh mah lawd
+OldsmobileMatt 420 What about NSX?
Thats their only real sports car sorry.
All I want for my birthday is a big booty 240!!!
It's my birtday 😁
+H.B BURLIM happy birthday
AYY Happy birthday! It's mine too.
+brandon rost thank you!
+B0rikua45 HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
I've only watched this video maybe a couple dozen times... Every time it's just as good! Loooove that sound in a car that was never meant to sound like that!
I watch it at least 2x a year. I feel ya
I really like that hatchback top thingy you have
Okay that is just pure awesome. The widebody really makes it! Time to start LS shopping...
dude pls don't LS swap the miata
***** I think I like it too much the way it is right now
+Vincentius Chandra Go buy your own Miata and keep the 4cyl in it. If he wants to do it, then let his decision lay. Go look up flying Miata, tell me those cars aren't bad ass.
***** Wow those prices are absurd. Where abouts do you live?
***** Well thats gotta be hard to be a car guy there. They must put heavy taxes on cars/parts.
This...this spoke to us on a spiritual level. Bloody amazing!
The LS sound fits the wide and low stance of that S2K so well. Especially with the fastback top, it looks like a mini Corvette
Funny how people are acting like this is a new concept when guys have been putting V8s in Miatas for 20+ years. It's a recipe that goes back to the Shelby Cobra.
I drive a 1996 meat dragon with 500 baby hand power
I didn't understand your comment until I saw your picture.. I feel a little sick now..
+Khalid “Zaki” Ansari stop yelling.
Carrrrrrrrllllll.
lol okay now Rick
lol okay now Rick
Great job man!! Have been looking forward to this review for a while and it's awesome to see a car that I've seen in person so many times on your channel
The sound this car makes is insane. truely awesome
these cars are such a wierd experience i was recently in a v8 miata and the hardest thing to wrap your mind around is seeing the interier of a miata and hearing a ls v8 they are awesome though
STOP LS SWAPPING ALL THE THINGS...,
oh wait that one is actually pretty cool!
love your vids bro keep up the good work
+Nike1600 START ELECTRIC/TESLA SWAPPING EVERYTHING!
+Gavin Stewart haha
yeah i love this
+Nike1600 It's getting ridiculous now, I mean LS's are practically LEGO'S now.
He's gonna take that to a car show, and when they open the hood, they're gonna go *"Oh...I knew this rose had a thorn."*
One of my favorite reviews you've done!
in luv with that s2k
I had the honor of seeing this monster in person at hunt valley cars 'n coffee in maryland and this drew a massive crowd even parked with lambo's, bentley's and ferraris gotta give props to the owner for making the cleanest S2K I've ever seen
prob gonna get alot of hate for this, but i think it looks like shit, prefer the classic body of s2k
same and stock engine
edgar soto yea dont know why they took out old engine
+iLLSoMe Hmm... probably to make it faster, if I had a guess.
+iLLSoMe Oh good, it's not just me.
+Nippledozer you havent seen the puerto ricans who just built the 7 second s2k on the stock engine?
If you can dream it, you can put an LS in it
Það er rétt hjá þér!
+Tiberius Hrafn-Úlfur Wait so i can put an LS in my cardboard box?
+Dr. Bananable Lector If you can dream it
+Dr. Bananable Lector Hell yeah, I already did. it's making at least 50k hp with all my stickers on there. especially my car throttle sticker
+Tiberius Hrafn-Úlfur good luck fitting a V8 into an NSX
All around great build, amazing!
What an animal, totally bonkers! Love it.
That fastback hardtop doesn't fit great but it does look quite cool and unique.
what happened to the yellow turbo s2k
Still not running.
+Stunt Growtopia stock hondas are
*****
i meant no boost
+Dejan Ilic 2JZ
+Dejan Ilic you are correct. we block guard 90% of honda builds. even on nitrous i have cracked the top of the cylinder sleeves without them. boost they are a must!
"Ls swaps are boring"- 15 year old jdm fan who thinks stance is not rice, and never drove a car
Some stance isn't rice lmao
Functional camber is good.
Airbags are good.
Constantly scraping around and struggling with a stone on the floor is bad.
I have an S2K stock suspension its low enough, I have lowering springs I put on for track use but not practical for standard driving.
Looking to get adjustable coilovers soon instead though, its not much of a bother swapping them out because its months at a time that i go to the track anyway.
Ls swap are overused now
Maximum Sidewayz and jz's, rb's and sr's arent?
Nestea Iced tea RB swaps are barely done now lol
i love the wide body kit on that thing usually i dont like wide bodys but more a few bumper mods but that wide body looks beutiful
i love that wide body set up and that hard top is nice too.
8:09 - 8:21 you should definetly look into adding that to your intro.. banging of the rev limiter was just the cherry on the cake GREAT video I think its on "jasmine" level of good, lets see if it reaches the same amount of views
this could be an American TVR.
I would just silence it just a bit, so it's only loud when u get on it. love the look!
Their was a Miata for sale right down the road from my house with a 5.0, Tremec T5, and a Ford 9" rear end.
I love LS swaps god damn 😍
A brake upgrade should have been one of the FIRST things the guy did. While the swap is impressive, it's borderline wreckless to leave the brakes essentially stock (an assumption, mind you).
I agree Ghostrider0067, stopping and handling are maybe even MORE important than adding gobs of power.
(Amusing grammar slip: Yes, it was borderline "reckless", and he was lucky to be "wreckless" in the video!)
Perhaps not a slip but a clever pun instead?
Realistically just using some decent pads would be more than adequate for this car in 99% of situations youd run into hooning around with this car. Big awesome uber amazing brakes are really only needed if youre running hard on the tracks for extended periods of time.
If the brakes are able to lock up the tires- They have more braking power than the tires themselves can handle- And as long as the pads arent garbage, and the fluid is clean, its very, VERY unlikely youd heat-saturate the system with even a few repeated hard stops.
I didn't say a big brake upgrade was a requirement but upgrades to the system should definitely been first and foremost given that big power was going to be without question. Whether that means a big brake upgrade, better pads, lines, or whatever... failing to do so is fucking ignorant. One can only hope the guy who built this had some measure of common sense. Judging by the lack of appropriate stopping power, it doesn't seem like it. His car, his life, his risk.
the s2k stock has some pretty good brakes. and as sidewayGTS said, if it can lock the tires it has more braking force than the tires can use. calling him ignorant is pretty rude when you havent met the guy, or done anything on his build. 400HP is nowhere near exceeding what the brakes couldnt handle at a drag strip or track.
3:50 Word! Very nice build, Tyler. V8 or not, I love everything about it and that's coming from a fan of the F20C.
Freaking love it.
Seen a s200 for sale without a motor and instantly thought Ls swap it.. so off to CZcams I came
The guy has sold this LS s2k and bought himself an 06 911 carrera lol
Smart man, the s2000 was sick tho.
+Augusto Ortiz agreed
smart move....there really is nothing like a Porsche
Keith Freeman yeah, porsche is love, porsche is life.
YUP i love mine
that thing needs a roll cage and wider tires in the back asap ...
+Nocturniss NiCK You don't want a roll cage on the street.
+Tyler Hunt well for safety reason I would assume that with that much power in that feather car a roll over or flip would be catastrophic.
Nocturniss NiCK
Yes, But you don't want a roll cage in a street car, unless you want to wear a helmet all the time. One fender bender and you'll crack your head open like a melon on the cage.
+Tyler Hunt ehh fair enough I suppose. really depends but you have a point
+Nocturniss NiCK I agree on the tires, but the S2K doesn't really need a cage. The windshield frame has a thick steel bar that runs around it. Behind the seats there are two roll hoops that reach to the same height as the top of the seat. I was in an accident in my S2000 that involved me rolling over twice, my windshield was in tact, and only the plastic cover on my roll hoops were damaged. I walked away with scratches. It's scored some of the highest crash test ratings, including a solid 5 stars for rollover in japan. It's rare to find a collapsed windshield frame in a roll over accident on s2000's.
I like how they've made it look like an E-Type at the back with the shape of the roof
Sounds sick, love that sound
as a Honda guy, this is so wrong.. yet it's so awesome..
I know
The LS1 seems great but what I LOVE about this car is the HardTop, colour and wheels. What are the wheels and colour?
Varrstoen es2 with huge spacers
Thanks
Looks beast
I've heard many mixed reviews on the hardtops for these, most of them saying fitment is poor and it leaks.
Still come back to this vid so good 😊
I've watched this video so many times, I click on it literally every time it comes on my suggested bar, such a beautiful car :')!
I always wonder the 0-60 and quarter mile times of these custom cars
Or at least 0-100
thats actually a good idea
The 0-60 of this will be as soon as it catches fucking traction😂
F20C weights 326 LBS
LS1 weighs ~400Lbs
So the additional weight is mostly in your head.
Though there doesn't seem to be much consensus online as to an accurate weight for an LS1
LS1 manual is 500Lbs lol.
man you are lucky as hell to get to drive all these bad ass cars, I wish I would be you. good video.
I've watched this video 3 times now and it makes me want to build one of these
Don't know why the brakes won't stop it unless they're junk from the factory...the LS only weighs like 60lbs more.....
Matt Simon the engine and transmission they have in this car is not 60lbs more than stock its alot more than that
@@gsfbffxpdhhdf7043 look up the weight difference ls is not a heavy motor
@@gsfbffxpdhhdf7043 from other swaps I've seen in this car, I think it's LESS weight... aluminum engines
@@gsfbffxpdhhdf7043 ls engines are aluminium blocked, they dobt weigh that much.
This should be commendable but many japanese men dont like big American things shoved into small japanese things. An LS1 engine is like bacon, makes everything better. Sure its a wildly impractical deathtrap, but you only die once, might as well make it a blast.
That thing sounds so wicked! This was a fun video! Subbed!
BADASS!! im a hardcore Honda guy, and I love Corvettes (and Camaros) so this is a win-win
He didn't add any way to work the reverse lockout, can be easily fixed with a simple rocker switch.
when did the rx7 have a T56, did you LS swap it.
I did sir
You can also remove the detent and spring, no?
This was on Craigslist for so long for 14,000
That's a steal
+SixSevenOne Vid not really this car can only be registered in states with no restrictions. the motor alone makes it illegal in over 90% of america.
+Nick Sawyer well in my state at least lol
+Nick Sawyer Can you not have cars engineered in the states? In Australia I had my mods engineered and now my car is legal Australia wide
+P4YNT3R199 it depends on the State. in California you would have to make it have all the emissions stuff and other non emissions related from the car it came from so if you pulled it from a 2016 Camaro you would have to have all the shit related to it from 2016 using all the stock or C.A.R.B. approved parts . after you get approved your car would get re registered as a 2016 Camero even if it was a Honda. Its a huge pain in the ass to do and do rite in Cali. but it can be done.
great looking s2000 ls swap is sick
6:33 you can feel the weight in the front ? it's roughly 24lbs heavier IIRC. Maybe the suspension modification have more to do with the nose heavy feeling
Sick car but needs some wide stickies and no camber
+ThatDudeinBlue A fully dressed LS1 is only ~60 lbs heavier than the F20C fully dressed, so you are probably not feeling the extra weight in the front- it just ain't there.
I was thinking the same thing, plus that car is still scaled to a near 50/50 weight distribution. The owner posted it when he was scaling the car
Not true at all, the LS1 manual weighs 500lbs
Aiways loved the s2000 body style, classic.
Super dope edit in the beginning!!!
Man I'd love to do a LS swap in a S2k or a Miata or a S13, but there is no way in hell I can get that registered in Germany.
over here in germany its highly restricted...
Sometimes the restrictiosn are okay but often they are headache...
LS E30?
yes pls
I kinda want an LS E30, but would rather have a 2JZ GTE.
this is the greatest s2k ive ever seen
It's not S2k anymore, all that's left is modified chassis
@@Kacpa2
True that personally the engine in an s2k is perfect supercharge it if you want more power, turbo it if you want ridiculous power
Cool video car looks insane I think the t45/t56 was designed to go to 1st, 2nd then reverse, it always made it easier on mine anyway.
Such a good looking car. Wow
I wonder what's the fuel range on a full tank of gas
Down the street and back.
Haha damn I never thought of that
+peteogrande not too bad probably, my 02 WS6 trans am got around 30 mpg with cruise control on on the highway, it had full bolt ons heads and cam were stock though.
+peteogrande Pretty far. my 3800+lb GTO/Monaro gets about 25mpg Combined city and highway. In something as light as an S2000 it should be in the mid 30s.
+peteogrande Depends how much you mad it...
Baby Shelby Cobra.
The engine bay looked very well setup, that's a good thing about swapping an s2k plenty of space under the hood. Just a bit to wide in the back for my tastes, and rim/tire size ratio but overall intriguing build.
I'd even take it with stock engine, but the way he built the roof and back is cool. Reminds me of the Chrysler Crossfire but in pretty.
The shock of the engine weighing a little more is amuzing.That motor weighs no more than 80 to a max of 100 more than the stock F20 4 cylinder and will put out twice the power all day every day. That's like saying to your passenger "Whoah! get out of the car, the front end was never meant for your fat, 100 lb ass!".
LS's are crazy light. I don't know if it would be a factor in this car, but it could also just be the placement of the engine. Maybe its a little higher up or farther forward than the stock F20.
Now it has Vtec ALL the time.
Boy do I love the sound of an LS at WOT, holy moly.
This build literally makes it look like a production car.. it's absolutely beautiful..
I wonder if its possible to drop the Vipers 8.4L V10 into an RX7 or an S2K......hmmmmmmm
With a new engine bay? Then yes
it is ☺
It's happend look it up on youtube
What about SR20DET or RB25DET in a Suzuki Capuccino?
have you seen how big those engines are?
This right here ladies and gentleman cures erectile dysfunction.
the widebody kit is sick af I'm not an Ls fan but it fits in the s2k.
Needs a 4-Rotor m8
+xXxIntelCorei9XxX xX calm down rob
+xXxIntelCorei9XxX xX actually a 4 rotor would be nice it fits perfectly.
Those exhaust notes are so amazing sounding though lol
The hard shifting into reverse issue could be caused by the reverse lockout solenoid on the trans. It might not be connected or working properly. I never had any issues with the T56 cars that I've owned.
Insane car!!! Looks, noise everything, sweet sweet car.!!
This would be the perfect project car for a all aluminum 4.3 v6. Trick Flow or AFR heads and scoot... Like you stated, too much weight on the front.
I know this guys who's brother crammed a v8 in an old beetle
I know u
I love the wide body kit. Very mean looking
Very nice build. Nice vid. I would have liked to have seen a longer shot under the hood. I understand if it wasn't possible, shhh can't show too much (street racing). Some footage of the brakes and tires (close up). The wide body kit and roof looks great. Thanks to you and your bro for make the video.
