depends on what he means 200hp...at the crank or wheel hp...it's definitely probably a swapped engine even if he's getting 200hp at the crank (or a turbo on the d16a6 or zc dohc engines)

you can get 200 at the wheels with a b20vtec and very very easily with a b series turbo

so find out if its forced induction or normally aspirated then find out what engine is in there and whether that # (200hp) is crank or whp
