the only way i can see them making 375, actually 300+ even, is my raising the compression to at least 12:1 maybe even 12.5:1. that makes it impossible to run 91 octane gas (since theyre in cali). to increase horsepower, you can do a number of possibel things, but mainly 1)you can increase rpm's (speaking in general terms). 2) you can increase volumetric capacity of an engine. so which of these are they doing? both? on a n/a engine the only way to raise the volumetric capcaity is by a)changing the cams b)port and combustion chamber shape c)stroking d)raising the compression. raising the compression to the point where 300+ horsepower is possible, requires teh use of fuel that's going to be a lot higher than 91 octane. i don't know about some people out there, but, to me anything that doesn't run on pump gas is not "streetable". and plus is ain't like you can turn the boost down on a n/a engine like you can do on a turbocharged car that you take to the strip and run race gas. on an engine of teh s2000's caliber, i doubt over a 135 hp is to be found from a stroker kit or any type of port and cam design.

Not to start a flame war or anything, but I think if any 2 Litre from Honda is going to do it, its the K20A motor.
It seems like that new K series motor has proved to be very promising for NA applications... now, whether it could hit 385 as well, is pretty doubtful. At least not on 91 octane or anything like that.

I will eat my left shoe if this happens on pump gas.
Unless I actually see it with my own eyes.

Mugen doesn't hit PEAK hp numbers. They do though have a very healthy low/midrange that will pull easily away from a stock car.
By spring time we will definitly see some realistic HP numbers.

Look's like T.O.O has found yet another market to try and rip off. This guy is not only flaky but also kooky. He has been around for a long time trying to say he has done this and that but yet no one has ever seen his stuff in person. Infact whatever happened to the supercharger for the b18c1 he said he was going to release?
