STREET SWEEPER

can rest assured that power is making it to the ground properly.

Speaking of power, you must already be painting pictures of what lurks under that vented hood. Purists will be pleased to hear that despite the Frankenstein drivetrain made of several other vehicles, the F22 remains - this one built by Inline Pro. Giving the F22 ample power for the circuit is an impressive mod list, which kicks off most noticeably with a BorgWarner 8474 turbocharger mated to an external wastegate direct to that tell-tale side exit.

The engine build has been through a few iterations, as well as tribulations. A blown head gasket on the dyno was among one of the early challenges to Santos’ build, but after some machine work to the engine it was ready to make some serious jam. In addition to the turbo, the F22 was treated to 2000cc injectors, a Magnus intake manifold, custom radiator and intercooler setup, and all managed by AEM Performance Electronics’ Infinity ECU. All in, the engine now makes a potent 800 horsepower at the rear wheels.

Lightweight, flow-formed Konig Countergram wheels are wrapped in Yokohama A052 tires at ground level, and behind them you’ll see a StopTech big brake kit. All that power isn’t going to set killer lap times without stopping power to match, so that BBK consists of 15-inch front rotors and 14.5-inch rear rotors, with STR 6-piston calipers up front and STR 4-pistons in the rear. From there, the only way to increase stopping power, as well as get faster, was to lose some weight.

Inside the S2000’s cockpit you’ll find a notably racecar-spec interior.
