I'll never understand why people give the start button on the s2000 such a hard time. It came out 10 years before hands free key fobs became a thing. It's still preferable to a single key that cranks it IMO. It feels more special, and works exactly as intended. If it was good enough for a 2008 Ferrari F430 I think it was good enough for a 2000 Honda
The "Purists" should direct the anger at Toyota for not making a modern-day 4age. Toyota gave up on decent 4-bangers (and well everything else), Honda didn't.
@@kevinruger8819 You can buy that new today or 15 years ago? That must be Toyotas most well kept secret if so 😂 Honda k is available in Dealers: Now Now Now lol
The 3S BEAMS engine and the 2ZZ were modern 4AG’s. Today Toyota’s turbo 3cyl from the GR Yaris/Corolla are the good modern 4AG. Toyota is currently also developing a new 4cyl right now if you follow the news. So I don’t know what you’re talking about
@@cory5197 turbo isn't n/a... I don't know what you're talking about. 2zz Is/was cool but also nearly 20 years old, also known for horendous oil issues, isn't it? Listen I'm a toyota fan, but they haven't made a good 4 cylinder N/A engine for decades, only v6's.. and even those are bland af, but also reliable af.
@@starfox_wr-45e93 everything is turbo now if you’re talking about today. Honda has given up on the N/A 4cyl just like Toyota did too. Look at the new type R and the Si’s, they’re all turbo. So if you want a N/A 4cyl, the closest thing is a FA20/24 in boxer format. This AE86 in the video has a F20C engine from an s2000 that came out the same era/time as the 2ZZ from the Celica GTS and Lotus Elise, so the engine in this swapped AE86 is just as old as the 2ZZ. Both are old N/A engines.
I'd feel 100x safer in this than anywhere near a self-driving Tesla, nevermind inside one 😂 Thank Jesus that stuff in banned here in the U.K atm. (Disclaimer: I do also ride motorbikes and grew up in these 80's *hit-boxes lol)
to put everything in perspective, Toyota did not built its own engine till this day, Yamaha signed a life time contract to supply every god damn engine for toyota, so a Toyota with a Vtec engine in it doesnt matter much IF it made it better power than the 4age
This was such a treat for me since I own a 2000 AP1 S2000 with the same F20C1 and I own an AE Corolla GT (not 86, 111) with the 4AGE Blacktop 20 Valve The 20 Valve is very popular as a swap for the AE86 but the F20C is the ultimate Props to the owner for pulling this off
There are certain cars that their appeal isn’t because it was in movies or manga but it’s that sound. Not that this Honda engine isn’t good or sounds bad but it isn’t the sound of a 4G especially modded like the initial d was it makes a unique sound. Swapping a v8 in a rotary might make more power, be more reliable but the body isn’t necessarily what makes the car unique.
The biggest difference of it from then to now is the removal of the front half cage of the car....now it is no longer an acrobatic move to get into it....
aaaand... how a about a 4A-GE swapped Honda S2000? 😏 With individual throttle bodys and a nice, clean build N/A setup? there is a hillclimb video on youtube.. a Toyota Starlet with 4A-GE swap. N/A with healthy 260hp. Would be a banger in a light weight S2000!
It sounds like VTEC is not engaging, there's no audible tone shift at least coming through on TH-cam. Given that it's using a factory ECU (assuming this since it requires a Honda key to start), there should be a very noticeable tone shift when VTEC engages at ~ 6000 RPM and I'm not hearing any change in tonality at all - just what you'd expect from higher revs on the smaller camshaft lobes.

Hope you guys like this one! :D One of the most approachable, chuckable and fun to drive street cars ever built.
I loved it! And you spoke truth right here - 11:13 - 11:24
All he needs is a set of Watanabes and the Fujiwara Tofu Shop sticker and he'll have himself a pretty convincing Initial D tribute replica.

The sound is almost as good as the 4A-GE.
love the red bull racing cap, I watched this car on your channel when you posted it origianlly crazy it has been 7 years
What would make it even more crazy is if those were the only two videos of ours you've ever watched
😅no I used to watch quite a lot of them :D@@RoadsUntraveled
Tofu is such a legendary car i am glad that ppl still remembers this car
never knew this car took 2 keys. that's so cool!
Bunta Fujiwara *likes this video
haha that's way too many keys. Also, It sounds sooo good
N/A revs are the best
This is neat. Not sure how safe I’d feel but would be fun.
Less safety = more adrenaline
I'd feel 100x safer in this than anywhere near a self-driving Tesla, nevermind inside one 😂
Thank Jesus that stuff in banned here in the U.K atm.

good swap , still japanese high reving 4cylinder and still N/A but almost twice the power so far from nightmare :P

Yes! Completely forgot to mention this.
Honda K20 or K24 would be a good engine too as well as the F20C.
it's better than the f20c imo

At least it gives the power it needs
Reminds me of the Uso-2000 from hot version!
Didn't the drift king praise
This swap ?
Should’ve made the 11k rpm 4age. Just like motorist IQ
Boohoo. Sorry not to your standards
Small fortune lol
the 4age is shit. i spent 9 grand NZD on a worked 20v and tune just to make 130whp.
He needs to g16e-gts swap it now 😮
One parking light doesn't work lol

toss a turbo k24 in it, you'll thank me later : P
Some would say the turbo would ruin it... but this is easily solved by simply owning two different builds
@10:16 Tbf Marcus, even Toyota boosted the 4ag(z)e in period.
Boost is just... better. Everybody knows that. 😁

Tell me I'm wrong bro, tell me I'm wrong. lol
If you can get a proven better engine for that car, than why not?
Oh look another poser calling his left hand drive corolla an AE-86. No such thing as a LHD '86 dude. And so edgy with the honda swap *yawn*
If you haven't had the opportunity to check a North American model, I assure you they are stamped "AE86" in the firewall :)

Ruined it with a Honda engine, Should of kept it Toyota, if you wanted variable lift and variable cam timing the 2zz engine would have been perfect.
Seems like lazy wiring on the previous owner having 2 keys like that
That's the way Honda hade it U had to turn the ignition on with the key and then start it with the button
