a stock S5 NA will have trouble with an S2K.

i seriously think you should consider getting a TII instead.

much easier to make fast with less money.



i'm not saying it can't be done, i just think it'd cost a bit more than it's worth. that's just my opinion though.

well, i guess i should preface this with. I have a spare engine to rebuild, and i have a nice car that needs an engine. I would like to make this car my dally driver. I don't really want to get rid of it, and i don't want it to be super fast, just quick. So i guess what i'm asking is, supose i hade a good exhaust and no limitations in the engine management department, what would be the ideal engen build up, for a nice streatable car.

Thanks for the input.

How fast you can make it is going to depend on how much you want to sacrifice you cant have one with out the other. Id reccomend maybe doing a full exhuast, standalone or safc(id do standalone and ditch the stock parts that are getting old, but then tuning becomes a issue), pulleys, and all the other little things. That will give you alright power and still a good running car.

Anything more than a full exhaust, intake, and e-fan is going to start compromising drivability. Some people just deal with the crap, but regardless, it happens. I demand excellent drivability from a daily driver, and I would keep it nearly stock. Trying to get the drivability of my GTU back on par with a stock car has cost me an incredible amount of money, and all I really had to show for it was a quick n/a that couldnt hold its own a full exhaust/intake TII.
