yes i think they did!

as for tuning they are a very good motors as a base. but its quiet easy to get more out of them. a tubular exhaust manifold will help a lot. you could alsways go for a Vortech supercharger 9about 300bhp!

what you thinkng of putting it in???? saw one in a westfield in a magazine a few months ago. mnade for a great car!!

Dont laugh but Im thinking of putting one in a tasmin racer. to replace the old v6..

less weight, morecompact and more power, should be fun an old taz screaming past at 9000rpm

I just need to find one now

Hi Graham
Own a Honda S2000 since 2001. Always 6 gear and fast switching
The stock engine is a engine with less problems. Supercharging isn't easy at all.
If you are really interested I can connect you to a man who's supercharged his S2000. He published the projekt at the german S2000 Forum (www.s2k.de) and His car pushed something 340HP and 320Nm at the dyno.
The other way could be RCB. They install S2000 engines into Super Seven

TTS Performance in Silverstone have been supercharging Honda engines for a couple of years now, the Civic Type R's are giving 300bhp as a starting point with 350bhp with a bit more money. Give Richard a ring for a chat, I believe it's a £5-£6k coversion on a drive-in, drive-out basis but would be a lot cheaper if you are doing a lot of the work yourself. They use the Rotrex supercharger which is a centrifugal design, basically the compressor of a turbo with a small gearbix and a pulley driven from the crank. Mne is about 80% efficient.
