:thumbup:
































Looks very impressive :naughty:






Considering that we started with an engine rated by Honda at 220 HP @ 8,000 RPM (measured at the crankshaft), I think we've done quite well in broadening the torque curve substantially, and producing approximately 55 more HP at a lower RPM with no internal modification to the engine. This was accomplished using the standard Exige silencer, and running the engine on 91 Octane fuel. At this point I think we've come to the end of the first phase in the tuning of the K20A. The next phase will include new cams and reshaping the intake and exhaust ports to provide us with superior airflow. I'll concentrate my efforts on letting the engine breathe better before I start changing pistons, etc.
