Ethanol blend or not, this car has a higher specific output than any NA production car by a significant margin. Ultra high-end NA supercar engines like the 918 Spyder/458 Speciale/F12tdf/GT3 RS around between 120 to 130 HP/L while this is closer to 150. What's more, it's an I4. I thought these were very unbalanced engines, which is why "performance" I4's are usually only 2L as oppose to 2.4+. Why isn't this engine shaking itself apart at high revs?
because honda is the king of the 4cylinder. this is a blue board
Carson Gomez
Honda makes VERY good NA 4 cylinders and this one has had pretty much everything thrown at it by a shop that key is building NA motors.
Brandon Baker
Yes and?
Logan Cooper
Blow your brains already
Nathaniel Nelson
Honda engines are well made and balanced (usually) to begin with.
High compression, aggressive cams, and good intake made with CFD will take you a long way.
Joshua Hill
Meme'd on
Matthew Rivera
that image is not blue board material
Logan Gomez
How come?
Colton Roberts
p*nties are visible.
James Jenkins
Because of VTec. There's a reason why Shingo drove an EG hatch with a couple of simple mods, he actually had to turn off VTec AND handicap himself to give Dagumi a chance.
Jaxson Brown
I'm a Honda fanboy but this is a borderline race engine and not something you'd want to drive on the street every day
Also >spending tens of thousands of dollars for less than 200bhp
Ethan Taylor
These engines usually have VTEC removed all together and just run hot cams instead
Ian Anderson
I love a well built Honda but Hondatards will use this to say their D16 SOHC non-vtec makes 200 HP and was under-rated. I appreciate properly built Honda's, but I wait for the backlash of the retarded fanbase.
Parker Morris
t. Assmad GM fangirl because fastest FWD drag cars are not ecotec powered
Jack Hall
Don't you have a bus pass to renew or something?
Christian Kelly
>Honda actually knows how to make engines tell that to Fernando Alonso
Levi Powell
No because I ride one of my bikes as transportation actually
Levi Ross
They are doing fine in IndyCar.
Jordan Kelly
Ferrari cried so that Honda couldn't use tokens
Ian Bennett
meh. A good FWD car is a good FWD car. I'm a fan of Honda K-series too. The Ecotecs are good, but they make fuckall power N/A. Love boost but suck N/A. If I want a N/A build, I'm gonna do wither a K20 or a 2.0L/2.3L Duratec
Ryder Murphy
people aren't afraid to tune Honda engines to the bleeding edge given the low cost. would you be willing to put 30% more power in a already high stress 458 motor?
Jonathan Jenkins
they make the best gp2 engine
Dylan Gomez
>dreams of power
Parker Gomez
>fast fwd car
that's like being the smartest retard
Ethan Brown
yet we still have the special Olympics.
Parker Allen
Because the K series is the pinnacle of honda NA I4 designs, and we still have not reached their full potential because they also respond so well to boos, that people just take shortcuts with that instead of exploiting NA potential.
Jordan Jenkins
This one has vtec, i think it kicks in around 6800 rpm.
