How the fuk does the Honda s2000 make 240 HP from a 4 cylinder non turbo engine?

[Getter_done]

and a 2.0 liter at that? the fuk?! (no honda fanboy or owner, just really fukin curious)

[AltF4KillsLag]

because hondas are god.



i got an 06 si and i love it.

50 hp per .5 liter. beat that ******s. (other than s2000 haha)

Isn't a Genesis a 4 banger too putting out like 306 ?

[Proek]

oh hai that

The V6, yea.

[AgEnT-]

cause Japanese are smarter than dumb rednecks/blacks in Detroit ?

its all about the compression ratio. they have one of the highest compression ratios in the car industry.

edit:: its also a 2.2 liter

[Canadas_elite]

The V6, yea.

oh my bad , the 4 puts out 2 something amirite

[Riceboi]

omg hi guys

Higher compression ratio.

Trade off is they're harder to rock forced induction versus a bigger low-compression motor.

I have a single turbo s2k I love it .

this diagram should explain it:

brah i didn't know you have a s2k? (serious)

Yeah something in the low 2's, but it's also turbocharged.

Honda/Acura excel at the naturally aspirated hp/l game. The H20 in the last gen Prelude was over 100hp/L, same with the K20 motor in the RSX Type-S and the modern Civic SI gets close to that as well.

edit- Not taking into account rotaries or F1 class.

i love when my car hits 5700 on the tach. i think it has too much of a pur for how much performance it puts out stock. kinda a downside i guess...i bet a s2k would probably be a bit better, but they are louder amirite?

[gsw33me]

it also red lines and like 9,000 something rpm and has no torque; so they only advantage to the small engine with that much power is the weight. personally i'd prefer a torqey v8 any day but the s3k is still a cool car.

i've got better man, S2000 with 320HP. and the owner claim it as non turbo too. how do you explain that?

here's his engine modification list:
Engine bore up to 2.2ltr
Pistons changed to DOME's. to get higher compression. can rev up to 11,000rpm
high power VTEC camshaft duration of lift in 295' (13,0 mm) and ex 290' (12,0 mm).
piggyback: HKS F-Con V Pro

i got his car review by local news reporter link. if you want, send me a message. it's in local language though.

Answered yourself pretty much.

with my 70mm single exhaust it is. =)

Find that in the dumpster as well?

oh snap he's watching, uh yes sir i did. =)

I think the Lotus Elise or Exige uses a Honda k20 turbo motor

[1987GN]

it is because they allow more air into the engine and can spin at such a high RPM to allow such amazing flow of air.

Higher rpm=more airflow(typically) combined with a higher compression ratio=more intense combustion i.e.-more powerful explosion.

I own an S2k and a Skyline.
