The R18 engine uses the Miller Cycle instead of the Otto Cycle. That idea will be the future of engines, so keep an eye out for it. You could acutally just swap out the cam and retune the ECU and ditch the whole Miller Cyclle idea. Remember that when this system is stuck on DOHCs. With a bit of brains, you could pick up a dirt cheap motor and make it fast. Check out Sport Compact Car's September 2003 "Technobable" for more on Miller. It's still on their website.
