Naturally aspirated, the original 2.0-liter displacement has been enlarged with the swap to a Honda Step Wagon K24 short block. The cylinder head is the stock Type-R piece, fitted with Toda Racing camshafts. Output is estimated to be around 276bhp.The factory fuel rail has been cut and an AN fitting welded on to allow use of a stainless steel braided line for fuel delivery.The dipstick and oil filler cap have spring-loaded anchors to prevent movement and misplacement.

This raw carbon fiber air duct feeds and directs cold air into the factory airbox, which was retained for driveability and tuning reasons.
