Cleanest swap, most reliable project car I've ever owned (12.5k miles without one issue in two summers on a Prayontoo K24 frankenstein build). Can't wait for upcoming episodes!!!

    I know this will get buried in the comments, but the stock FD diff should be able to handle even your turbo K torque. Especially since you don't drag race. Most people change it out to get different ratios, but the factory 4.10 would match exactly what the S2000 had from the factory. If it is an FD auto diff, it would be a 3.90, which again should serve you well. Another awesome series. Can't wait to see this thing ripping on track.

  • @AutodromoF1
    @AutodromoF1 4 года назад +1

    A note on Coilovers. The JDM Yard Hardrace time attack car had a traditional TEIN raicing coilover (adjustable bottom mount). They hired an F1 engineer to help improve their suspension setup. One of the first things he did was dump the TEIN in favor of an MCA gold coilovers, where the bottom mount is fixed and the ride height is adjusted via the spring perch.
    Traditional coilovers have very short shock travel, because they use a shock cartridge that has to accommodate different cars. So it’s short in nature and it has to rely on the bottom mount to make up the difference in length. But if you want to optimize handling you need a full length shock with maximum shock travel, as JDM Yard found out.

    I like the bit where he talked abt the 2 thred bit on the flywheel bolts. Something so small and simple and the guy wouldnt let it be had to be swapped out for exact fitment. That was actually really good to see. Says alot abt the person building the engine! U need to be that meticulous when building an engine the works properly!

      Maybe I'm wrong but rotaries, in my opinion, are loved because they're different, and they're not very good. That probably sounds weird, but some people like things that aren't very good (like sleepers, in a way)

      TrashBandit 24 for sure. It wasn’t that long ago that people were still bashing on them online for sounding like weed wackers and blowing up all the time. Just a few popular rotary builds online later, and everyone swears these things are the best sounding motors and the best thing to ever come in a car even though they’re not good at anything.

    "If I wAnTeD tO eXpErIaNcE a RoTaRy EnGiNe, I'd BuY aN rX8." Wrong answer, why tf would you get an rx8 to experiencea rotary? Worst rotary design by far, under powered af, no boost, and the fact Ford had their hands all over that car and engine just made it worse...

  • @aarownsdumbchannel
    @aarownsdumbchannel 4 года назад +2

    FD/RX-8 differentials are NOT that weak (and interchangeable). They'll hold up perfectly fine if you aren't launching it on R-compound drag radials all the time. Both my differentials have been perfectly fine with LS swaps over the course of a few years. Biggest downside is lack of gearing choices.
