Honda Earth Dreams turbo motor
Brag box spotted in Columbus airport. 1.5L 16v DOHC, 16psi, 174 hp at the crank. Congratulation Honda, you just invented the B6 circa 1990 (with some help from MT.net).
Seriously, how is this motor making that little power at 16psi? Is it just strangled with emissions requirements?

Driving a car that is gutless below 5k and makes it all up top is ANNOYING to drive on the street. Hence my BRZ is now gone and replace with a turbo 6 that makes max twist from 1400-5400 RPM.......but doesn't completely die on the way to the 7k redline.

For the last couple of years Lexus has been going over to 2.0L turbo engines for the smaller cars and base models. I recently got a chance to look at some datalogs of how they run. Theyre hitting full boost below 2k rpm and holding it out to ~5k before it starts tapering off. Whats really crazy is that its running stoich in boost up to around 5k rpm before richening up a bit. Were talking roughly 20 psi of boost at 14.7:1 AFR.
EDIT:
Here is a dyno of a stock IS200t vs an ECU flash someone has developed to make it push more boost
