2000 Honda S2000 - Topless Turbo
If you’re looking for an all-in-one street/track vehicle at an obtainable price, the Honda S2000 has to be at the top of your list. Built in Tochigi Japan, the same factory that produces the almighty NSX, this purpose built roadster has the sexy smooth lines of a well sculpted rocket, the footwork of an Olympian, and is fueled by the heart of a lion which (at one time) produced the most natural aspirated horsepower per displacement of any other production vehicle on the market.
The proud owner of this insane 00’ Honda S2000 is none other than Andy Jiang. Off the lot the S2k comes very well appointed. Besides a hardtop and some miscellaneous factory aero parts, there isn’t really much else you can buy as an optional accessory. Looking into the aftermarket realm, a plethora of parts exist for this venerable chassis and Andy has called upon only the finest tuning parts to build his topless turbo.
Andy took this mini F1 racer and completely transformed it into a sleek turbocharged terror. Factory paint? Bah! A new hue of blue was laid onto the aluminum panels to distinguish it from other S2K’s out there. C-West aero parts were used not only because it’s probably the cleanest of all kits available but because the functionality at high speeds. A trick Top Secret vented carbon bonnet graces the front end with an APR carbon splitter that round off the composite weave department. Tein coilovers, Cusco carbon strut braces, and Comptech sways definitely help this little go-cart push the G’s to the point of unconsciousness. To further enhance the aesthetics and grip, SSR Type-C wheels wrapped in Bridgestone S03 rubber are mounted all around.
The 120hp per liter is what sets this vehicle apart from the rest but wasn’t good enough for Mr. Jiang. He chose the cream of the crop ball bearing turbocharger from HKS to fulfill his forced induction needs. A GT2835 snail mated to a custom manifold help produce a whopping 295 horsepower to the wheels! Air gets consumed through an HKS Super Mega Flow passing through the custom HKS front mount intercooler pushing out all defecation through the dual HKS Hi Power exhaust. A Blitz BOV and Greddy boost controller makes sure that the perfect PSI is reached in a safe and timely manner. This specifically designed kit is a work of art but when accented by the Koyo Aluminum Radiator, Cusco catch can, and match painted valve cover it makes me wonder if a hood should even be mounted to cover such a beautiful sight.
The mystic blue hue is carried out within the interior with two matching Sparco Rev’s racing seats, harnesses, and suede helm. HKS and Greddy gauges fill the cabin with a Panasonic monitor custom molded into the dash for visual stimulation.
The purity of this roadster has never been duplicated by any other manufacturer and sets the standard in two-seat topless transportation. With a minor update in 2004, Honda has again raised the bar by stroking the motor to a 2.2 liter torque monger. Andy has taken this masterpiece and turned the game upside down. Shoving air into all four cylinders through an ingenious and efficient ball bearing turbocharger takes a whole bunch of money and engineering but the outcome is pure euphoria.
