Especially if you're standing outside and listen to a s2000 slowly going by you. Im talking about how the engine sounds like it has "electrical components" built in the motor. I have never heard any other honda engine that sounds like the f20c(even at idle).

So why does the engine sound like this in the first place? What parts/system are responsible?


This is just a question of curiosity.

All opinions are welcome.

 

u think so? To me it sounds like a beefier b18c5.

 

interesting...
doesn't sound any different from the other 4bangers than Honda has offered.

Maybe in VTEC and 7000rpms + but other than that...

 

Have you heard the RX8?
Not THAT is an interesting sounding engine.

 

It SOUNDS more high tech than my 99 Lude SH was... maybe it's just me

exactly, whiny/electrical/high-tech all perfectly describe the noise im talking about.

maybe it has to do with its timing chain design...well this is the only honda 4 cylinder engine that utilizes a timing chain without IVTEC(this is just the standard DOHC VTEC model).

 

I was just going to say that, Razor. I think the timing chain is a big difference... It gives the engine a "gear-y" sound that resonates.

I love it.

And when one goes by in full 9K scream... That's unmistakable.

 

It really sounds extremely mean/aggressive at and beyond VTEC, especially with an intake mod.

 

Maybe it's just your air pump... Mine whistles...
