We've fully built 6 2.4L engines. One in the states, 5 outside the country. As far as I know, the cars are still being worked on so there's no direct feedback yet from the engines. Most of these engines are using off the shelf parts that based on specifications on what the customer wanted and what we recommended should make good power.
Other than that, we have not had any hands on experience with tuning these things. With all motor, there is sooo many different combinations that can be tried and tested to make good power, whereas turbo apps just put the right size turbo, cams turn the boost up and there you have the power. N/A is much more intensive in R/D work.
In the Honda world, there's the demand for it, that's why you see guys making products, testing them on there race cars and offering them out. There's a handful of guys that have been around the all motor scene for a while and can make a name for themselves. In the SR20 case, the 2.4L and above is still fairly new. And no one is really pushing it to its limit to find it plus and negatives to make better parts.
If it takes us to build an engine, do engine dyno testing with different combinations of intake manifold, exhaust manifold, compression, cams etc, we by all means are for it, but there has to be a demand for it. Right now, there is none. So we cant spend the money and time to research and develop if people arent willing to step up to the plate.
