Yeah, I haven't looked for it personally, but there are options out there.

It's becoming a common Miata swap and is already common in S2000s, so yes.

So, going off those numbers...does a modified F20 really make less power than a Focus ST and barely more than a FiST?

Not really comparing, just shocked that it's so low. And I guess I'm broken, but the S2K was a fairly boring drive to me (sublime handling and transmission, mind) with it's power delivery.

I guess I'm just more baffled that it's THAT wound out than anything else.

But see, I enjoyed the E46 M3. I loved that motor.

Cars are weird and I'm glad they make lots and lots of them.

Yeah, probably because the S54 is pretty linear in stock tune :) Getting rid of the artifical VTEC bump is pretty life changing for the F20C. S54 with the CSL intake is probably in the top 5 best sounding motors ever. :love:

Agreed whole heartedly. That motor is one of my favorites to drive, and the chassis as a whole was great fun.

But sadly the tax on them now is just crazy for the issues they also have :(
