We're interested in seeing the evidence that the engine has untapped potential.

if I lived in cali, I'd let you prototype on my car, but I am not. What do you guys normally do to figure out if an engine is a good candidate?

It is unlikely that we are going to do anything for the R18. The decision whether we make a product is based on product demand and gains for stock and slightly modified vehciles, demand for forced induction tuning, and technical hurdles in making a reflash/programmable system.

Given that the R18 market will only be a faction of the 06 Si market, and the gains on a stock R18 engine are only a couple of hp, yet even a reflash would cost the same for us to develop of the 06 Si or 06 S2000, it does not make economic sense to do anything for the R18.
