My take on it is most S's realistically will yeild around 200-205WHP (unless your in the USA ), some dyno's are in-accuarate and read high.

I used the same dyno 3 times the only way for the delta

Mine spent a few hours bolted to this, but as said - there are more than a few dodgy dyno's out there ! I've witnessed one that suddenly stated a 5 degree increase in ambient air temp in two secs !

I think you are getting far far too hung up on the numbers.

JDM versus UK spec is discussed loads, so try a search on that one.

If you want to try it again, go for these:

Wokka - was that the IT or AT? Intake temp will obviously shoot up a lot, and S2000's do not like dyno's...

My s managed 211 at the wheels and is about as far n/a as you can go - other than cams - it is possible to get over 200 with sensible mods but then the cost of doing all these over the last year is comparable to buying a s/c or turbo kit.

^ yep Dave's is the most modded N/A wise, and you have an AEM ECU too.

So as rule as i said earlier 200whp is achievable with moderate mods.

You just need gears now Dave?!

Down on power on a dyno. Has your car done big miles/been ragged all the time/had regular services etc? I watch TG and when they put their older cars on the dyno they always seem to be down and it always amazes me how many horses are lost.

I have to admit that I am no mechanic so i may be talking crap, therefore just ignore me

You would think that but this used to be the case with older cars <90's

But most only lose a few ponies, IME honda's seem to be excellent at retaining power.

My car proves this, though its been more than maintained/serviced
