I really reading the specs somewhere before, but can't find the link now...

almost no hp improvements over the original S2000, but a little bit more torque now... I just wanna know if they were able to keep the same redline since the engine is larger now...

it already has enough to beat a lot of the stock cars if launched right.
i wonder why honda doesn't offer a super charger as an option
that would be pretty cool

With S2000's high compression, it would be pretty hard to do Force Induction while having it reliable...

Not saying it's impossible, probably just need a lot of work in cooling and engine management to keep it from blowing up...

they already do offer one for the s2k from comptech that basically adds about 100hp and 100 torque... not too sure how reliable it is yet

Even if you had to throw a bottle of octane booster into the tank each time, it would be worth it.

specs are not released. Estimated HP is 250-275.

aww man, its gonna make mine obsolete. it wont LOOK different will it?

2.2 is not enough. It should have at least 3.5 liters. Another gutless wonder from Honda.

I think 250-275hp in a car this light will be more than sufficient.

Such a big engine would totally mess up the perfect front/rear weight distribution of the S2000...

Also the S2000 has always been built with road racing in mind... 2.2L is good enough for that purpose...

 

[bUnMaNGo]

/me wonders when all of the Honda haters will come in and say "so what my lugnuts will still require more torque than the new 2.2L engine makes"

350Z has a near perfect weight distribution with a 3.5L. With 274 lbft of torque. Time for Honda to get with the program.

LOL what is a bottle of octane booster going to do? Raise the octane by 0.1 points? The better idea would be to keep a 50 Gallon drum of 110 octane laying to mix with 94 octane. This is of course if you can't find a station near you that has 110 octane at the pump.

Is that the same engine as in my Prelude, only more power?

No, it's supposed to be a revision of the existing s2k motor, I think they just gave it a longer stroke.

If that's all they did to increase displacement, then the redline will change. If all they did was increase bore size, the redline would most likely stay the same.

Yeah actually I don't really know now that you mention it. I might have read idle speculation. I do know it's just supposed to be a revision of the existing s2k motor.

Hopefully they'll update it with the new ivtec system, it makes the motor less peaky.

I heard somewhere that this was going to be a modified version of the already heavily modified TSX engine.
