yeh as far as i no ive posted up on here about it and they are a straight swap as the S2 it a 1.6 8v. the gains are lower ratio gears so improved acceleration but you will lose at the top end (will max at around 115) you could get a vts box which will still give u quicker acceleration but not quite as much as the S2 but a bit higher top speed around 126 i think
