I'm glad you're loving it. How does it compare, driving wise, to the MR2?

It's non-VTEC, if it were VTEC, it would say it across the top of the motor..

It handles so much better than the MR2. And pulls like a freight train. Also the Transmission is pretty cool, you can manually drop it if you want and get the revs up earlier than the Auto Box for 'freaking insane Driving'. Put it this way...I was going to kill myself in the MR2 without pushing it. The Lude I can push and have no issues. + being FWD, if it doe go tits up I can correct and control it easier.

Not that I go bombing about everywhere. I'm relatively conservative ha, just made myself out to be a right road thug! XD

That is the non vtec 2.2 twin cam.
It's quite a rare engine in these 'ere parts.

Am I right in thinking it is DHOC fuel injected?

If you swap the H with the O, you're correct.

From factory, about 160.. so now, probably a little bit less - but you could get some of them back with a decent service.

Also, it's a JDM engine, so you'll want to run it on premium unleaded to get the most out of it (Shell V-Power, Tesco Momentum 99 etc - the closer to 100 RON the better).
