What exactly is a 'spoon' engine?
Can anyone tell me what a 'Spoon' engine is? I hear people talking about putting them in CRX's and older Civics.

Rep Power: 350 If your gonna tune your engine for the best performance tan Spoon is the name you look for...they are able to "tune" the engine and all its components to extract the best all around performance. They are placed in Japan and as far as going all out and swapping then Spoon is the way to go

You summed it all up for me..."Spoon/Honda" "Lingenfelter/Chevrolet"
Lingenfelter is from right here in Indiana and let me tell you, this guy knows what he is doing and how to make some KICKA** cars.

Rep Power: 0 A spoon Engine, Is a engine, that is made by one of the biggest Honda Tuner Companies, in Japan, (Besides Mugen).
A spoon Engine, is handbuilt in Japan, with the lastest from Honda.
They are expensive, reliable, and Fast.
Just about every GTcar that races in Japan, has a spoon engine in it. When I went to a GT race in Japan, just about every Honda, Mostly 2001 Integra Type R's, had either spoon or Mugen engines.
Hope I help, Check out their Website, It takes a minute, www.spoonsports.com

Rep Power: 0 i think the spoon sports engines get up into the $10,000 range, it might be lower....but it's a lot more expensive than just buying a b16, b18, h22 engine.

Actually Spoon engines aren't all THAT great. They are great engines for Auto-crossing and if you want to go Naturally Aspiriated it's fine. The thing you can't turbocharge or supercharge or add Nitrous to Spoon engines. They are very high compression engines and rev very high.
Remember in The Fast and The Furious, when Brian Spillner says, "Hector just ordered 3 Spoon engines with turbo and naws". No, buddy...imagine an engine with over 11:1 Compression, with 15 PSI and a 100 Shot of Nitrous. BOOM!
