A supercharged 2.0L Honda engine easily puts out 300 hp (about 255 at the wheels). That's what they use on the Ariel Atom (optional motor).

247 whp while normally aspirated (if it's a 2.0L) is pretty tough, I would imagine - I/H/E, Hondata, cams, tuning, and maybe higher compression and/or a bump in displacement might do it.

The captioning at the top of the video shows it to be an FC20.

That does make a certain amount of sense since the K20 has the opposite rotation doesn't it?

If so that would be too cool!!!!!!

yea that is K20A, s2000 motor cant fit due to the layout. Exige is transversely mounted rear engine similar NSX.
