Yep. Had an EP3 Type-R before the GT86 and both have a 2-litre (86mm x 86mm bore/stroke) NA 4-cylinder with 200hp. Only the FA20 just feels so much beefier at normal city-driving RPMs than the K20A2. This dyno comparison from Gardus@Supersprint pretty much shows why:



Also, Honda can no longer sell the K20A2 in EU in new cars because it does not comply to current emission standards.
