This 2001 Honda Insight went to Palm Beach International Raceway to compete against a few modified vehicles such as a BMW E36 M3 with a turbo 1JZ and a BMW 135 with a bigger turbo. Under the hood sits a 2.0 L K20A2 inline-four that remains mostly stock except for upgraded valve springs and 2,000 cc injectors. The engine makes about 400 horsepower to wheels on a Hondata KPro ECU and 10 psi of boost from a Holset HX40 60 mm turbocharger.

“BMW 135 with a turbo”
I’m no BMW expert, but I think 135i came with a turbo inline 6 from the factory.
So what you’re saying is, it has a turbo.
Good call. I have updated the article to show it has a bigger turbo.
