| Engine Type
|
- 1.8-liter, 4-cylinder, 16-valve, DOHC with
Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control
(VTEC) system
- High-volume intake manifold, hand-polished
intake ports
- Twin-coil intake valve springs with oval cross-section
for high lift
- Lightweight, high flow intake valves to extend
engine rev range by 200 rpm
- High-lift, high-strength connecting rods
- High-rigidity, 8-counterweight crankshaft
to reduce vibration at high rpm
- High-compression (10.6:1), low-friction pistons
- High-volume airbox with repositioned intake
- Aluminum oil cooler maintains optimum engine-oil
temperature
- High-flow exhaust system - 30% improvement
