I was asking Tom a few questions about the Atom engines in regards to being EURO 3 or 4 compliant, and he mentioned this in regards to the 220-300 engine:
"The car has the Japanese (JDM) model engine. It also has a different fuel tank, exhaust, intake system and has no OBD2 connector. I believe these factors added together mean that the car isnâ??t EURO 3 or 4 compliant."
Ok, I didn't know this about the engine itself, but I did know about the fuel tank, exhaust, intake and so on being custom... I then asked him about the 160 engine, and he said:
"The 160 uses the Civic Type S (5 door 2 litre) engine. We donâ??t use the Honda ECU on this engine though."
So in other words, does this mean that the engine is a euro engine, and could potentially be EURO 4 compliant? And in regards to the ECU, is it a Hondata or some other "custom" one?
