From what I know both engines are supercharged... I used to fabricate/weld for Brammo(actually I'm the guy welding the "metal eyes to the flange") and I only knew of two cars with turbos, the rest were supercharged

oh sorry didnt see it said rover.

Ariel US's website says their engines are still Honda K20's. To be honest, I'd rather have the supercharged Honda than the GM.

i'm talking about the rover 1 which came out 1983/1984 launched 1.4-litre 16v. then made a 1.6 & 1.8 16v. the 1.8 16v k-series ROVER engine has been used in kit cars and some 4x4's even in open wheel sports cars (in the UK) through out the 80's an 90's (ie, Caterham and Lotus) also used in the first Atoms b4 they put a Honda engine in (yes also called k-series).I was talking about the rover cos we can get both engines in the UK, known to most brits as K-series (Rover) & Vtec (Honda)

the K-series is a 2.0 its a K20A

how much for one?

UKnick80 (December 31, 1969 at 4:59 pm)

don't know what trim levels there are, but there isn't alot of anything in the atoms.Also the K-series engine is a 1.8 non-turbo rover engine, it's the base model in the uk and i've been told it's not great. lack of power.

supercharged ecotec vs supercharge k20a..

anthonyT01 (December 31, 1969 at 4:59 pm)

Is there a chance that they may offer different trim levels with the Honda K-Series engine in one of them and the GM motor in the other?

UKnick80 (December 31, 1969 at 4:59 pm)

the GM motor has a turbo, don't now how good it is tho....i like the 2.0L honda v-tec with the supercharger.... 300hp hooked up to honda's 6 speed box
