Whoah. That's nutso. Doesn't look like he sold any sadly.

I normally wouldn't look twice at a guy making such promises but look at his feedback rating since 2001. He must be doing something right. Just thought I'd post cause this thing blows my mind.

p.s. I don't know the seller or anything about him besides the fact that from his phone number he's somewhere between Kingston and Ottawa, Ontario.

I'm sure. I wonder how it would do in a ReX? Assuming of course you remove everything else in the engine bay, LOL.

non-pro, you have a chance. your major rivals are gonna be the AWD guys and the big-turbo SRT-4 guys...all three of those categories run mid-to-high 9's on enough money...

but, if all-aluminum, you'd get a helluva try with something like 8.1:1 pistons

I think he's trying to legitimize his company and try to make people feel like they have a very rare engine...he's basically overboring a former Honda engine and since he seems to be manufacturing a whole new type of engine he is putting his company's serial numbering system on it.

In reality, what it means, is you can identify who made the product and which # of that series it was...jack **** because you should have kept your reciept lol

. if you read, it is a bored h series motor...people put h series into crx's all the time. but a 3.0l in a crx would be bogus, and H series in a crx would be bogus. the nose of the car would be too heavy. that thing would only be good for straight lines.

if hes over boring then you are taking material away.... another way to pick up displacement is shorting the crank (also removeing material) i would place my bet that this 3 liter would weigh the same or less then a regular h22.... i show my friend with a prelude this he needs a new engine

This is one instance where I can honestly say a flat-4 earns its merits.

Unbolt the transmission from my engine, and two people can pretty easily lift the thing out of the engine bay.

Guess you wouldn't want to see my dyno sheet, then.

256 HP at the wheels. . . stock.



Yes, five driveshafts and three LSDs does make for a heavier car than most Hondas.


All I'm saying is, many Subaru engines put out a ton of power, given the relative light weight of the engine.
