I know this is a nissan datsun site but just can't ignore where honda is heading..

Most nissan fans make fun of hondas lol but ive also seen this vtec motors beat turbo cars while in NA form.I think from this year onwards people won't be that quick to write off their upcoming type Rs.

The f20c NA engine from s2000 set a record of hp/liter no other production 4 cylinder engine (turbo or not) has broken yet...

The 2015 integra type R in europe is apparantely going to be pushing 350hp from a 2liter 4 cylinder turbo motor....
New nsx will be awd and also sure it will make a statement in the performance world once its released.
Also i think they say the successor to the s2000 will be awd?

Hoping newer cars whatever model,come with 1.8liters of turbocharged monsters as it would open more diverse engine conversions and bang for your buck.The technology nowadays is extracting alot of potential from small capacity engines.

I guess Nissan with cars like the R35 GTR and 370zs have set new standards for the other car makers.
Can't wait to see next rx7,supra etc which will have to compete with the GTR.

VTEC is nothing to make fun of. It was almost as good as the NCVS that came in the Nissan Z31, and Honda has vastly improved VTEC since introduction.

300 hp from 2-liters with a factory warranty is something Nissan doesn't have.

sounds very much like they've decided the turbo route that Nissan went in the 80s was the right way to go after all...

Honda going turbo? finally they are following the rest
of their early 80s f1 turbo era engine setup.
They first implemented vtec now turbo. Very slow by Honda!

fc22 honda engine weighs as much as a turbo sr20vet
sr16ve weighs almost 40kgs less

with the latest efi, good manifolding and tuning
the A has been shown to make big hp even 400+hp
while the L series also with less involved can
embarrass many high tech turbo engines.

The winner for any datsun should be an engine that
gives the driver the fun they want but I strictly
dislike pollution gear & spaghetti wiring of any sort.
