The Waja and Gen2 is very capable for transplanting, nowadays. Apparently it's plug n play with the newer generation MIVEC, GSR and GDI engines.

If there is CPS, the peak power should come in at a higher RPM, as the profiles allow for better torque production at the upper RPMs.

Yes, I saw the turbo Gen2 at Speedworks myself. Not sure about cost tho...IMO they should price it below that of a GSR transplant.

My opinion is that the Campro isn't the greatest engine out there and is sadly one of the let downs of the Gen2 and Neo.

A winning engine in terms of consumption and power will have the highest torque across the widest rpm range. Unfortunately the Campro doesn't have that characteristic.

But to be on the fair side, we cannot simply quote 25yr old engines and compare them to today's less polluting ones. Even today's Civic and Corolla engines are no match for the horsepower racers of yesteryear.
