i heard that spoon motors are not good for every day driving. from what i understand about the motors are that they have a higher compression ratio like 11.1 or something and that the pistons are weighed to like 0.01 from each other, in turn making it run and rev smoother and quicker, better power cruve, and all the nuts and bolt are torqued to honda spec. correct me if im wrong. but i dont see any problem with a stock NA spoon motor as a every day ride. if i left out some stuff sorry.

 

Nothing wrong as a DD. It will be very reliable.

thats exactly what i say. but everyone wants a turbo type R where im from. you know one of those "i have more hp then u" kind of things. i rather have a nice smooth reliable NA 180 fwhp ride. TURBO= fun 4 awhile until it breaks cause when a turbo breaks it all BREAKS. turbos= more problems

 

YA THEY ARE GOOD ENGINES BUT I HEARD THAT YOU CAN NOT SMOG THEM BUT I COULD BE WRONG

 

NA all the way!!!

 

this thread is full of lose...

if you dont know what you are talking about then dont post anything at all...if you heard something about something dont post at all...

i would run a Spoon motor daily over most motors anyday.

 

you could build a motor that would walk all over the spoon motor for 7k

 

to much money for a spoon motor.... way to much
i turbo'd d-series would kill one for a fraction of the price...
