TSX Engine Piston Speeds - What Do They Mean?
I rememeber a while back when the TSX was being introduced, there was talk about how the pistons speeds were faster than normal, closer to that of a formula car piston speeds, or something like that. Is this true? And what does that mean in terms of performance, reliability, ...etc?

If I recalled correctly the TSX engine piston speed is around 22m/s. It seems that is very few production engine over 20m/s. I have seen a thread somewhere listing engines over the 20m/s practical limit. However, in order for Honda to improve torque in this engine had to rise the piston course and lower the piston bore, thus you have to rise the piston speed. I know that Honda produce a 2.0L liter engine that make 200Hp@8000 (S2000?) but at lower torque range.
