ScienceofSpeed Builds: ScienceofSpeed RR-MAX Turbocharged with V-Mount

April 30, 2026

One of the most impeccably clean and meticulously prepared S2000s to ever roll through ScienceofSpeed’s doors is this stunning, low-mileage 2001 model. Built as both a showcase and a serious performance machine, it features ScienceofSpeed’s latest RR-MAX turbocharger system—an upgrade that transforms the car’s already impressive character into something far more exhilarating.

Running on E85 FlexFuel and producing over 426 horsepower at a modest 12.5 PSI of boost, this setup isn’t just about peak numbers—it’s about how that power is delivered. The engine boasts an exceptionally smooth and flat torque curve that pulls relentlessly from 5,000 all the way to 9,000 RPM, creating a driving experience that feels both refined and brutally quick at the same time.

What truly sets this build apart, however, is the careful planning behind it. Every major component—from the turbocharger itself to the clutch and fuel system—has been thoughtfully selected not just for current performance, but with future potential in mind. The foundation is already in place to support well beyond 500 wheel horsepower once paired with a reinforced engine, making this S2000 as much a forward-thinking project as it is a present-day standout.
