Okay so basically putting a chip/ecu upgrade on will be pointless unless turbo as mine is an ap1. Is 20whp achievable from say an intake, exhaust, header and test pipe?

You can pick up a used VAFC for cheap to lower your VTEC and lean out the upper RPM range. My VAFC tune with bolt-ons was good for 25 HP gains from 6k to redline compared to my stock baseline. Just the bolt-ons will get you 20 HP gains in VTEC. The real benefit is getting to lower VTEC to smooth out the transition area.

I know some cars you an get performance chips for them that just basically piggy back the ecu, is there any decent/reliable ones for the s2000 that actually do something? If not any suggestions to decent power gaining mods? Only wanna gain 10-20whp not heaps which I'm aware is extremely difficult without turbo/supercharger

Edit: whoops, mised "test pipe" in there. Yeah 20whp should be achievable, but I doubt it will be on peak hp.

I wonder where people get this because I see it a lot?

Yeah well in my opinion having 20whp gain in lower revs is better than higher revs as this is where the s2000 struggles till the revs pick up, so if an air in take and exhaust system and test pipe will give me 20+whp in the lower rev range ill be happy
