I have a Honda BF90 4 stroke carb'd.

I understand that is basicaly a Civic engine. Can it be modifed for better
performance & horsepower?

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Hi Ted,

The 75hp and 90hp Honda are the same size motor with different tuning.

They are both 1590cc and the new Civics are 1668cc so I think that they
might be very similar motors.

You have 4 carburetors and already have the highest HP of the two motors. I
don't know how much you could do without a lot of trouble.

You need to go to "rec.outdoors.boats.racing" maybe??

Good luck.

The new Honda V-4 4-stroke PWC has a SUPERCHARGER on it!  Wonder if it
will fit an outboard??....(c;
