Uhhh...everything they did for the 4B11T
They could've added variable exhaust phasing, variable lift cams, direct injection, made it an aluminum block, reverse flow coolant, mount it longitudinally, made it non-interference, made the water pump run off of the accessory belt instead, variable nozzle ball bearing free floating turbo...etc.
See? The best 4 cylinder out there COULD still get better!
As far as aluminum being a bad choice because Honda's dont take boost well....well they were never meant to take any power. Any engine that needs to be sleeved for extra power isnt worth the time or effort in my book and flat out sucks.
