Wikipedia rules since your question got me thinking.

"In 1998, Toyota ceased to import the cars to the U.S. from Japan, although the car was last sold in Canada in 1995. They stopped production of the car altogether in 2002 due to new emission standards coming into effect in 2003."

probably the Diff technics swap. I think the Diff Technics is a 350Z/g35 rear end, rated for at least 100 hp

Dont quote me though, I have no clue

That is pretty cool, but I just don't get it when you can build a very high HP FI S2000 with a built bottom end. Just doesn't make sense to me to add all that weight and go through all of that work.

Personally I'm still sold on the FI F20C but if you want to go straght, fast, in an S2000. This is an awesome option. 2JZs are easy to come by and would cost less than a turbo kit to get. Who knows the costs for install though.
