Well that puts to rest all of the people who said Honda WONT do this because it would take too much R&D to make any more power out of a 2.0L!!!

Thats definitely going to be the motor to get ahold of for US spec cars!

That's not a production car. That's a racing car built by JAS Motorsports.

That's a link of the car being tested by Christian Klein at Estoril.

Also see www.jasmotorsport.com for more info.

yeah researched this a little bit more, and i guess this hasnt gotten the full green light yet, its just a smog passable version of the JAS race car for the time being, and they were basically saying if it did go on sale it would be upwards of $50,000. ouch.

Per Shawn Church, getting that kind of power and still passing emissions is going to be quite a job.

hmmm maybe it is time to swap the k20 in our car...that whole set up including the sequential would be badass.

well, with the new s800 replacing our LOVLEY s2000's, it's rumored to have the k20a as well. meaning, interchagable conponents with the r-r!!

There are many RSX-S with 215whp+ with basic bolt-ons and some tuning. My roommate, with kteller exhaust piping but with STOCK MUFFLER, mediocre header, intake, and kpro with STREET tuning, made well over 210whp on a tough dyno. There is no doubt he's at least at 260hp.

If Honda can't do better than that considering he STILL has his cat AND his exhaust sounds quieter than a 350z, they need to stop making sports cars all together. My friend with a k24 head on a CRV block hit 238whp and 190wtq with basic bolt-ons, some quality cams, and street tuning. Come on... anywhere close to 240whp would be sufficient to keep the S2k in the game for 3-4 more years no problem IMO.

I still don't understand the roof scoop on a non-mid/rear powered car. Don't try to tell me it's to cool the interior, roll down the freakin' window.
