>2.5L I4 stroker engine
>no forced induction
>330WHP (so ~370 crank HP assuming very minimal drivetrain loss)

Ethanol blend or not, this car has a higher specific output than any NA production car by a significant margin. Ultra high-end NA supercar engines like the 918 Spyder/458 Speciale/F12tdf/GT3 RS around between 120 to 130 HP/L while this is closer to 150. What's more, it's an I4. I thought these were very unbalanced engines, which is why "performance" I4's are usually only 2L as oppose to 2.4+. Why isn't this engine shaking itself apart at high revs?

Honda actually knows how to make engines

If only they stopped sucking cocks and made a v8

Honda makes VERY good NA 4 cylinders and this one has had pretty much everything thrown at it by a shop that key is building NA motors.

>>17169866
Yes and?

Honda engines are well made and balanced (usually) to begin with.

High compression, aggressive cams, and good intake made with CFD will take you a long way.

How come?

p*nties are visible.

Because of VTec. There's a reason why Shingo drove an EG hatch with a couple of simple mods, he actually had to turn off VTec AND handicap himself to give Dagumi a chance.
>>
>>17169845
I'm a Honda fanboy but this is a borderline race engine and not something you'd want to drive on the street every day

Also
>spending tens of thousands of dollars for less than 200bhp
>>
>>17170001
These engines usually have VTEC removed all together and just run hot cams instead
>>
>>17169845
I love a well built Honda but Hondatards will use this to say their D16 SOHC non-vtec makes 200 HP and was under-rated. I appreciate properly built Honda's, but I wait for the backlash of the retarded fanbase.

They are doing fine in IndyCar.

Ferrari cried so that Honda couldn't use tokens
>>
>>17170083
meh. A good FWD car is a good FWD car.
I'm a fan of Honda K-series too. The Ecotecs are good, but they make fuckall power N/A. Love boost but suck N/A. If I want a N/A build, I'm gonna do wither a K20 or a 2.0L/2.3L Duratec
>>
>>17169845
people aren't afraid to tune Honda engines to the bleeding edge given the low cost. would you be willing to put 30% more power in a already high stress 458 motor?

that's like being the smartest retard
>>
>>17170192
yet we still have the special Olympics.
>>
>>17169845
Because the K series is the pinnacle of honda NA I4 designs, and we still have not reached their full potential because they also respond so well to boos, that people just take shortcuts with that instead of exploiting NA potential.
>>
>>17170066

This one has vtec, i think it kicks in around 6800 rpm.
