I think Rob Cadle wrote an article on this for Sport Compact Car magazine on
this. Basically, if I recall correctly, the QR engine in the SE-R is a
compromise between high-performance and cost of manufacturing, so the valve
train components can't handle the higher revs. I'm sure in the next year or
so there will be a combined aftermarket solution to remedy this... try the
list archives; you should find more info there.

Try reading EVERYTHING on www.se-r.net... that's how I started on this list
almost two years ago, and I've learned a lot about this engine and our cars.
Go and take a look; it's fairly straightforward if you have any car
knowledge at all...
