I just got a whif of this on SiAtlanta.com Im probably late as hell on this, but can someone let me know what the deal is on this. They can't really be producing B20VTEC crate motors are they? This is what I saw on Si Atlanta.coms "engine" forum:

"Just picture this sucker in a hatch. Hmm...
250 hp version - $6000
230 hp version - $4800

I will take the 250 hp version for a little hatch...
I saw it on the HT board as well the other day very cool"


Please, if you know what is going on let me know. I was about to put a JDM ITR motor in my Si hatch, but if this is comming out, I think I can wait!
Thanx

HAHAHAHHAHHHAHHHA...................

That'll be the day when HONDA sells CRVTEC's as a engine replacement......


It's most likely some shop is rebuilding them, and selling them in a "Crate". Hense the term "Crate Motor"

Damm, Give me $6k, I'll get you a 300HP+ CRVTEC.

 

HA..!! What a rip~off Honda TwinCam (FEEL'S) sells these motors over here in Japan and I have seen 2 Dyno plots from these set-up's 220ish dyno and 250ish dyno these were there fully built with 12.2:1 C/R and Feel's assortment of Hipowered goodies...And they were Dyno'd on a Engine Dyno not a Chassis Dyno...But they fail to tell you this when you go to but one .. Just a bunch of hyped advertising...if you ask me

 

Is that valve cover oem blue? never seen that before.
