Seems to me the Honda has larger ports so sacrifices low-midrange torque and then picks up at the top.

The drivability of the Elise with less weight and a better presentation of torque would be better than if it had an 1800 honda lump.

Can't see why people want to stick power aids on the thing

cylinder flow and drivability in a small displacement engine are not necessarily complementary, imo.
I reckon this is backed up by the variable valve and alternative lobe technolgy.

I'm not against the swaps.
As I get older I seem to tend to value things more if they remain close to the manufacturers concept.


I'm sure I'd be mightily impressed by a Honda hybrid but I don't think I would convert a rare car.
