- This is the last episode, the V8 S2000 is done.
In this episode you can see install the new replacement motor, work out some bugs , dyno tune and call it done.
The car drives great, everything works, blows cold AC and has bags of power and still has all emission equipment
I'm trying to upload a new video every Friday, but this customer is due to pick it up tomorrow( Friday) and I 'd like him to see it first
Weight Concerns/questions: ????
The LS motor weighs 72lbs more than the S2000 motor. The Kraftwerks supercharger kit weights 84lbs. Most turbo kits come in about the same if not more.

I have so much respect for you guys, not to many people in the service industry with morals and values like you guys! if I ever get enough money to build my car I know exactly where I'm going haha
Man, I wish I lived hear your shop. I'd bring you everything I own. Good, honest mechanics are such a rare treasure.
I'm a purist and could never do that to my S2000 but, that is a seriously awesome conversion, looks good in the bay, sounds amazing and the chassis handles the torque surprisingly well - top job, yet again - keep them coming !
After all that work the customer decides to buy another engine and swap it. A lot of work, great job guys. You guys do great work
LHTPerformance It's pretty entertaining to read comments on a V8 S2000 from people that have obviously never driven one lol! Having picked up the car this morning, I know I've made the right decision "for me."
To all of those that are asking, I can't (and won't) give you what I paid bc truth be told, my experience was like no other and had all types of expenses that I wouldn't have if I was to do it again. My advice: call LHT and get on their very busy schedule, get them a viable donor car, and let them do the rest...period!
First impressions: it's awesome and fast as hell! I do need to address the added heat of the cats (that I need for state emissions) and the trans tunnel but other that, everything is great related to the swap itself...full cluster and cruise control is operational with cold AC.
Does it corner drive as well? Different in weight of the motors? Weight distribution?
What brakes and suspension are you using? Tyres? Does it try to go sideways on you when u open up the throttle?
It sounds little bit like a lexus Isf! :). One the cleanest v8 swaps I have seen! great work!
Nice work! It's always tricky getting a motor to live in a car that it was never designed to go into, and make all the electronics talk to each other. Kudos.
Chevy and Honda, my favorite brands, such a good combo with little weight and tremendous power
Incredible workmanship guys. Bravo!
Excellent build love it!! My brother has the same exact s2000 as the one shown I this video and about 5 months ago he was T-boned by a pt cruiser in the rear qtr panel he got lucky and only has suspension damage and no frame damage.he has told me his s2k is the best vehicle he's ever owned!!!
Yeah, I have an 01 S2K too. Love that thing. The problem with such a small (and in my case, low) car, can be getting hit ... :(
amazing quality work like always
You guys deserve 100k subscribers at the LEAST, great great deep tone sound, I love it kudos to you guys
what you said at the end makes me more comfortable an also trusting your work that much more :)
DEFINITELY BUYING AN S2000 and bringing it to you guys for an ls swap after the army. God it's so beautiful and I have so many ideas. Thank you for these videos.
Good job man ... no one wants to see this car at the traffic lights 🚦.. good video .much respect on how professional you guys are .. 👍👍👍👍👍
You guys are awesome at what you do!! Lht is kind of an inspiration for me and my shop. I've always said detail makes a car and the way you guys take care of your customers is second to none!!! Keep up the awesome work guys
Great, if you give the customer a little bit more and go the extra mile you got it . Thanks for the comment !
You guys all ways do great work.
John u are amazing,I love your attention to detail!
The day I'm going to do any build on my car I know where to go!!! My respect and keep the good work guys!!! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Very nice job well done. Love these vids, keep up the good work!!
You guys did a real professional, great job.
Such craftsmanship, always a pleasure to watch. I myself am an auto service tech so I can appreciate the extra care and attention to detail you and George put into every vehicle. I love the content, keep up the great builds
That steady tq curve looks amazing!!!!
You guys do amazing work.
you guys do amazing work. keep it up!!!
Very cool, Nice work John,
Great job guys !!!
Damn thats one bad ass sounding LS!
I have a stock 01 S2K, and I get in enough 'trouble' with that, as it is ... ;)
Great job, guys!
All speed limits were abided by during the street testing ;)
oh yea...;0
quality work good job guys!
Great job guys!
Love the S2K videos!!! Keep them coming, never can get enough. #hondafanboy
damn. that last launch. what a slick sleeper!
That's bad ass man ....keep up the good work
Nice work bro!
Great work !
This was excellent... Thanks again.
Wow 👍! That's it, no other words required.
nice the curse dyno and the sound of the engine :)
you guys just earned a subscriber! great car!
Thanks !
Much respect for you guys.
Thanks so much
So clean
I applaud your work ethic I wish you were based near me (uk)
Great reputable company that goes A-Z and not taking any short cuts. I need to get back in to Hondas
Sounds amazing
That's going to be interesting to drive with those stock 16s in the rear.
So crazy hearing that sound from an S2000
nice build....I thought he would also go for a 400 rwhp goal..but hey it is what it is. ..still looks great.
Hecka camera skills though🔥🔥
Great video man! I'm surprised the customer is still running stock ap1 wheels with that much torque lol
Wow this is crazy ☺️😍‼️
2500 for that! Crazy! Hope u at least charged 5k. After all u did the job twice no fault of yours... subscribed
more K-sight content!!! my dream car, hopeful you guys are around in ten years when i can afford to make it happen... if you are, i WILL, on god
Get ready, Some K-Sight content coming very soon :)
This makes me miss my LS2 FD so much, I keep telling myself, I got the s2k for forced induction, forced induction, forced induction.....great job here I did my swap in my garage and it took 2 years to get 100% sorted to perfection, a lot of work to make it right.
John, I can't wait my man...you know it's been a looong time coming! The car looks and sounds great! We'll talk briefly about the heads and cam tomorrow. I would like to get the max potential out of the intake.
Engines Direct talk with my man Steve...he'll get you straightened out
I got a question will this pass inspection
I don't see why it wouldn't but I'll be finding out shortly
Very nice build man you got a Instagram would love to follow the build
No worries, we have good packages for LS motors ;)
Subbed!
Fair does! Takes some balls to swap out the f20 given the amount of hate for LS swaps! Personally I love them.
Just wished it was a bit more forthcoming and easier to do on a RHD S.
Great work as per usual John and George!
A true car guy doesn't hate anything car related.
brilliant
SC S2K > V8
Good build though you guys always do a great job. I’ll see your for my Kraftwerks SC sometime time next fall. 👌🏽
Kyle Wright Turbo S2k > SC S2k
Agreed. V8 doesn't feel right in S2000. Just get a Corvette
i seen some v8's swap here in socal. none of them got the gauge to read correctly. the number would go randomly
Really awesome 👍👌 I wonder if type R engine and Turbo and maybe transmission would work well and same for new NSX engine and Turbo??? You and your team are awesome and I miss your orange NSX...I just got 2020 Accord Sport 2.0 in Canada and would love to see you have a project car.
Awesome work like always and great values! Job well done! How much will it roughly cost for a swap like that including you finding a motor?
Clean build. Do you guys use a load bearing dyno ? Or inertia.
And what made you choose
@LHTPerformance excellent work. LS sits perfectly in that engine bay as if it were stock. very professional. great video. wish we had more people like you in the business. any reason brakes, bushings or mounts were not upgraded to handle the power?
Most likely because the added power really isn't that much over what the stock f series can do. Think all the boosted F20C s2ks that make more power than this one but have no issues with the stock brakes.
At the End, WELL SAID!! At my old shop i worked at we believe the same thing..... Tho now, is no diff. just getting a more wider base type of clients. Americn Muscle to Euro to Imports and he(boss man) can do it all like you guys.... Love these S2000 vids.... I WISH i could boost mine just for a bit more fun factor but nothing more and loose reliability since we have no track and only AutoX or Drag but i cant afford either so i just drive and enjoy the drive were ever i go but did up grade to JL ZRs in the door and tweets in the driver nd pass Apillar and sub in the trunk and Sound AMAZING for being a Vert.... Just gotta hver good SQ comps, Amps and a good box for a big 8(JL, Sundown, DC or Aline type R) or med 10(Alpine Type S, Rockford T0or 1, or a Sundown SA) or go BIG with a Orion HCCA 10 Like me with the control and pound it when those songs hit and your not in a busy area or on freeway/back roads....... Keep Up The Great Work You Guys Put In!!!!! It Shows and I for one appreciate seeing theres still guys like you out there wanting top notch work and parts. Not the cheap stuff that falls aparrt in no time!! *bow* to ur work ethic and the results u get!!!
Thanks so much my friend
Udeserve it so ur most welcome!!!
how much would something like this run? this looks sooo sweet and unique!
GREAT job as always. What was the price range for all of your hard work?
Looks OEM
most importantly, feels OEM...like it was suppose to come this way
You need a sticker on the tach that goes from 7-9k RPM that just says "NOPE" ;-)
14:55 Amen brother.
this is the difference when the mechanic is a real technician . is a experts .
I want this so bad it actually hurts!!! #LStheWorld
So awesome. How much would a swap like this cost?
Thank you guys for being a shop that has good integrity and good morals, that’s not easy to find these days, if I had an s2000 I would definitely come see you guys
We do more than Hondas and S2000s ;)
BTW what did you do for the fuel pump in the tank and what did you do for the rear diff and what it the top rpm on the car?
What's the best in your opinion, and also what's the best value for money v8 or supercharged???????
Questions: 1. Is there a heavier limited slip rear end that will fit? 2. Is there room for an automatic? 3. what was done to the front suspension? Thanks
JTRawson We use and recommend the Diff upgrade that @puddymod offers. He can offer you some options to fit you HO.
SWEEEEETEST.....
One person disliked this video. Why?
How much does that swap cost out the door? I'm trying to decide whether to turbo my stock motor or do an LS swap
Customer should've thrown a baby cam in to make it more fun.
The bad motor had a cam. After the issues it had we didn't want to re use it .
What gearing did you use in the rear end?
awesome conversion, hows the steering post-conversion?
It still has electric power steering and feels the same
what was the full cost ?????
Just curious, how much did this project cost to do.
when in doubt LS it out
If conventional oil is better to seat the rings, why do the OEMs put synthetic from the factory?
Newer motors are designed to seat the rings almost instantly. Most new engine don’t require break in like the old day. Do what makes you or your engine builder feel right.
Hey John I would like to know once u do an engine swap like Gm motor to an s2000 how do u get to pass smug emissions test if I reside in a state like New York that require a yearly inspection.
H C I would check with your State. In most States as long as you keep all the emission controls functional from the swapped engine you’re good. Also the OBD2 serial port needs to function correctly too. All are no problem if needed.
How much does this cost all said and done?
Amazing swap. But i wonder how the handling would be affected? Maybe the dampers/springs needs to be upgraded. But i would rather go the turbo route to get 300HP. Sure this may have a lot more power and torque, the original driving dynamics of the car is a concern for me.
A Kraftwerks supercharger kits adds 84lbs , most turbo kits are similar. The LS motor adds 72lbs over the stock S2000.
Really? Thats pretty good weight penalty.
John, maybe you should add that to the description of every LS swap you do...I'm loving my power-to-weight ratio and balance "penalty" LOL!
Thanks, good idea.
1 question . What was his bill?
Whats the redline on this car now? and how does the tach read it?
With small top end work an LS can shift 6500-7000. You replace the needle bearings inside the rockers for like $160
How much did the whole setup cost I’ll pay whatever you want
How much does it cost to do all of that?
Can you do a Mugen MF308 S2000 That would blow minds
Did you replace that cross member in the front of the engine bay?
Sam Roz They cut it out
Hello friend, you can do that job to a Mitsubishi eclipse GS 1998
V8 Conversion or Kraftwerks Supercharged? Seems like the same HP and torque... Which is faster? More dependable/reliable? Easier to routinely maintain? Cost?
Great job guys!
M Palmer, supercharging the stock motor is the less expensive option.
The LS swap will be a better daily driver. It has lots more low end power for traffic, you make power without reving and working the motor.
In a race? Like John said. I'm not sure which would win.
Depends on what kind of a race....
Drag racing, the v8 for sure.. but in a twisty track I'll bet the SC s2000 would be more balanced and easier to make fast laps..
Interesting perspective. I am in the market for an S2000 for the Chicagoland area. I don’t intend on tracking it, just driving it on weekends whenever weather allows and some days during the week.
Of course I’d like to go fast in a straight line, however, power and torque are important when moving in and out traffic quickly in and around chicago and in the twisties in the burbs.
Seemingly, it seems like the V8 swap would be way more expensive because you need wider tires and other support for the rear for that power. Am I right to assume that?
Would like insight on the hands down easiest to own and maintain headache free option. I like both so much! I feel like a full kraftwerks kit plus dual skunk2 exhaust will be just as much as a V8 swap. What’s the cost difference?
M Palmer I have a mostly stock ap1, it is plenty fast enough it will fly past anybody on the on ramp, and if I drive it easy I still get 28 miles to the gallon...
M Palmer to have something that revs up to 9000 RPM is amazingly fun and the sound is crazy. the v8's cant do that..
What rear end is in this car?
