a friend of mine with a Full Spoon Civic Type R (220 FWHP) told me that he heard the S2000 had 260 RWHP. There's too much heresay, he need facts!!

Also the compression on the spoon motor is raised from 11.68 to like 12.19

 

Crazy compression, the higher they will go if they can ... Nevertheless, it's a race bred engine and I'm sure everyone doing major NA tuning might consider just doing an engine drop to save all the trouble trying to squeeze power outta it. If I ever need to touch the engine internals ... I'll more than likely buy a race bred engine instead and keep the original one for spare.

Not flaming -- just curious:

 

Take into account that the Japanese model S2000 is higher in compression already (.7 if I'm not mistaken) and is rated at 250 ps (equivalant to almost 250 hp give or take). I would hope that the complete Spoon motor is rated much higher than that. But then again, for the B series motors they (Spoon) have two versions. One, completely balanced and blueprinted using all factory Honda parts and put back to factory specs and two, their own complete motors built with all of their go fast goodies. I actually have the Spoon S2000 catalog, I'll have my friend (who reads Japanese and can translate) see if he can answer any of these questions.
