Not bad, 240_ Bhp out of a 2.0 16v n/a engine !!!!
Muchos ££££ though !!!! ;)
did for me
revs to 7500 seems lowish tho
Rob, here's an extract of the mods:
"ABF tall block bored to fit mahle forged 83.5mm pistons on abf strengtened rods, g60 crank which was lightened and ballanced together with a 3.2kg lighter g60 flywheel, and custom 4 paddle cera-metallic clutch (helix /ap racing), 1.8KR stage 4 racing head with 5mm oversized inlet valves, motorsport valve springs, retainers,etc etc. the cams are a one off grind copied by kent cams off a peugeot ! engine is bolted together using ARP fasteners only... together with diesel bearings only as they flow more oil blah, blah, blah Jenvey direct to head throttle bodies on MBE engine management and custom made wiring loom also made by MBE .
the list is really severe, coilovers ,polybushed, porche boxter s 325mm brakes on winipeg centres.....uprated steering rack ,custom 2 3/4" exhaust with scorpion dtm back box, car sounds absolutely awesome"
;)
Mark,
It doesn't actually say it only revs to 7500rpm, that was just someone commenting about what it sounded like @ 7.5k ;)
sorry - revs to 8k

spec dont seem right to me - g60's are 1.8's = 86.4mm crank, never make that power unless it was 2L or over. Also....5mm oversize inlet valves, I think not. Power is about right for the torque - 2032cc I think as it has to have a 92.8 crank so thats not bad, about 170ftlb is right for the 230-240hp at 7-8K
more top endy than mine - 170ftlb from 5-6.5K on mine - which could be down to lower compression and cam choice as its got more cc's, mine is under 2L
good motor though - wouldn't fancy abf rods at >8K though
Mmmmmm interesting
the plot 'only' goes upto 239bhp :think:
whics I could bung on my bodies tommorow....

Indeed, can't be 5mm - I was thinking 'no way' but the pic shows they're on the edge of what's available:

Absence of clearancing in the head suggests this isn't as serious as it could be in some respects tho:

2.5mm on radius.... tight... and unusual - picture shows it as it is though.
honda got 240bhp out of the 2.0 s2000 and this was a remarkable achievement,top stuff!
