Grandsport Posted January 27, 2007 Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 Hi everybody, A very strange thing with my S4s here, the VIN Code is SCC082920THF44164 --> 920 meaning that the engine is the 2.0Liter 240bhp ?? How could it be possible on a S4s ? I though all were mounted with the same 2.2 Engine ? Thx for your answers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paula&Marcus Posted January 27, 2007 Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 Hi, There are many S4 and S4s (and GT3 of course ;o) with a 2.0 litre engine. The S4 and S4s produced for countries like Italy, Greece, Turkey .... were fitted with a 2.0 litre engine very regularly for tax reasons, because in these countries the tax is quite steep for engines that have more than 2 litre displacement. You can also see this pattern with Ferrraris and many other cars.

Grandsport Posted January 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 (edited) Technical Data from my owner book : Max. power : - S4 2.2 Litre 197kw (264 bhp) at 6,500 rpm (DIN) 2.0 Litre 186kw (250 bhp) at 6,250 rpm (DIN) - S4s 213kw (285 bhp) at 6,400 rpm (ISO) Apparently all S4s deliver the same power ???

Paula&Marcus Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 Hi All, This ad is somewhat strange, istnt it ? - S4s first registered in 2000 ??? - only 1200kg ??? Did they remove the interiour ? - 6 speed gearbox ??? Yes there is one available now. Its a six speed dog box (not sequential). I only know of one customer here in Germany who got one installed in his V8. - no pics ??? IMHO, if you really do a lot to the 2.0 litre engine you will get about 350 HP ... Cheers Marcus Year 2000, 1200Kg & 2.0L, must be a GT3 ? Quote Marcus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karluk29 Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 only 350bhp, thats only 100bhp more than standard? nitrous gave me 100bhp LOL. seriously though i would have thought alot more, as its technically there stringest engine Quote OUR CURRENT COLLECITON :- MODIFIED LOTUS ESPRIT, FULL VEILSIDE SUPRA (BEAST 409.3bhp), NEW ADDITON TO THE TROOP, 1996 S CLASS MERC (FULLY PIMPED OUT, DUB EDITION) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paula&Marcus Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 The 350HP is the classic-route*, without nitro-injection, of course. * bigger most efficient high flow turbo, higher max. boost, free intake and exhaust path, optimized c/cooling ... keeping the stock ECU (with customized chip-code) Cheers Marcus only 350bhp, thats only 100bhp more than standard? nitrous gave me 100bhp LOL. seriously though i would have thought alot more, as its technically there stringest engine Quote Marcus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jollyroger Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 I can confirm that the Italian spec S4s was indeed fitted with the 920 2.0l engine, as I very nearly purchased one myself. Jollyroger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joakim_adolfson Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 meaning 250bhp ? and 260-270bhp with the overboost at 1.0bar ? Hi I have an 920 SE with 250 bhp at 0,97 bar( 302Nm, way down on torque compared to the 2.2). Overboost shall be a 1.06 (figures from Lotus, power not specified at this boost by lotus but I guess about 8-10 more bhp). The GT3 engine have different mapping atleast compared to the Se and S4 2.0 engines. The S4S 2.0 shall have 280 BHP @ 0.8 Bar & 295 BHP @ 1.0 Bar (Overboost) and fairly similar torque to the 2.2 engine but higher up obviously. ( figures given by South West Lotus Centre). I can't verify these for the S4s but it is atleast something to go by. :-) joakim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jollyroger Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 I remember reading 270bhp on the S4s 2.0L brochure when I almost purchased one... Jollyroger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
