Prelude Si. 2.0L = 200HP. No Supercharger. No Turbo. Something Detroit can never understand, much less build.

The 2001 Prelude I was able to find on the net gets 200 HP from 2.2 liters at 7000 rpm (ouch!)
4 valves per cylinder is my favorite.
For some reason those models are not listed in new cars and seems the import stopped in 2001.
Not like somebody would push us to buy those 7 MPG Hummers?
Just noticed typo on my previous reply.
My PWC engine is 900 CC.

Si gets 200HP out of 2.0L engine. 7000rpm has to do with the computer tuning. Honda engineers decided that they won't demand 91 Octane.

Simply put, you get 200HP at 7000rpm with 87-Octane. With 92-Octane, you achieve that at a notch over 6000rpm. (NSX exhibits the same behavior.)

Hello Detroit, you have something to say? Think NOT.
