Smaller displacement making 120hp per liter. why cant the eco tec put out any where near that number with the 2.4 with almost a simaler compression
The Honda motor get that HP rating because it revs so high. It makes 237 Crank HP at 8000RPM. But it has a really crappy torque curve. The car doen't make acceptable power until after VTEC kicks in at about 6000RPM. It also doesn't have the long stroke that our Ecotecs have with the 2.4. we have a low-end to mid range motor. The honda motor is High RPM power.
