What engine is in the S2000? I know its off topic, but I just gotta know. All I know is that its a 2.2 liter with 240 BHP@ 7800 RPM and 162 lb-ft @ 6500 RPM.

 

Well, I suppose we can refer to generations now; The second generation (2.2L) is the F22C, I believe.

 

Is there anything really special about it other than DOHC VTEC?

 

the 02 and newer motor is the f20c

stats.. hp 250hp@8300 torque: 218 lf bft Diplacement: 1997cc Compression Ratio: 11.7:1

 

Well, it's the only chain-drive Honda (car) engine ever built (besides the F20C, of course)

EDIT EDIT EDIT: DCA: I don't know where you got those numbers, but that ain't right. The 1G S2000's (00-03/04?; not sure when they changed) use the F20C (240hp@8300rpm; 153tq@7500rpm; 11.5:1 CR) but the newest ones use the F22C (240hp@7,800; 162tq@6,500; 11.1:1 CR).

 

The 2.2-liter, DOHC VTEC® 4-cylinder engine design is very powerful, yet compact. Producing 240 horsepower and 162 lb.-ft. of torque, it has one of the highest specific outputs (109-hp per liter) of any normally aspirated production automobile engine in the world. The engine also meets California's strict Low-Emission Vehicle (LEV) standard.

thats all i got from the actual site. the new ones that are coming out should be alittle more hp like the rsx's no big deal

 

you know..i was thinkin about that as well.. the first motors actually had 158 lb ft not 153 lol and 240 hp...bad site gave bad #'s
