220 on the JDM but doesnt pass Euro emmission regulations, Honda could have engineered a way round it but chose the cheap option.a4drk wrote:The engine actually had about 210bhp when it was built, but Honda UK de-tuned it to 198bhp. (old one was 197) God knows why.......

Yup, thats right, the Japanese one is 220odd BHP,
