i raced an S2000 wih a intake, tune, and exhaust and still beat him..heheh.

but yes, you can bore out the 4.0's if i'm not mistaken, to 4.5's. it's been talked about on the forum before, i'm sure someone will tell you more.

The S2000 has an i4, not an i6.

Yup. I test drove one a yr ago. The turbo doesn't kick in until 9000rpm. Redline was at 11,000rpm. I had to drive slowly back through town to let it cool down 'cause I'd heated it up enough that you could smell hot oil under the hood.

S2000's do not come with a turbo, if you claim to have test driven one, it was not stock, its a 2.2 ltr inline 4 240 HP NA with 6 speed manual.

Wow... Lots of mis-info in here.

The Honda has an N/A 4 cylinder pushing 240hp, there is no way in hell that even bored out he is making 320hp n/a. Honda/Nissan/Mitsubishi n/a motors usually come close to maxed out from the factory to make as good of power as they do, after that you have to f/i them to make more power.

Yes, the 4.0 can be bored out, It can be bored out to whatever you want it to be as long as the cylinder walls do not get too thin. lol Boring out the 4.0 does not make a huge difference in power on the stock engine though. The boring out of the engine usually helps out a lot on bigger V8 engines or turbo/supercharged engines not smaller stockish engines. You are not going to be gaining 50hp from boring the 4.0 out unless you are f/i. lol

It couldnt have been stock.. plus an s2000 redlines at 8300rpms.. i dont know what you were reading.. not trying to step on your toes here buddy but its not possible, this isnt a rx7 rotary lol.. plus all this other info is wrong i read someone posting it was an i6.. def not, its a i4.. also like others have said he isnt pushing 340hp with just boring over.. if it were that easy everyone would do it.
All that car has is vtech.. and 240hp not even at the rear wheels. It is a pretty sweet little car but alot of the info in this thread people posted was wrong..
