Latest HPI magazine - CL1 Accord Euro R article

[Iron Chef]

Actually technically it's a Torneo, but who's splitting hairs. I hope you enjoy the read :)

For those interested, it's the first step in getting the CL1 eligible for import into Oz under SEVS - it looks like both the Euro R and the SiR-T will be eligible at this stage.

Cheers
Kristian

You didn't link to anything.

[Iron Chef]

No, that would be because you actually have to go and buy it...

[Ken-f]

OH, ic ic. ahaha. My bad. I assumed you were linking something.

[Iron Chef]

Sorry, I would change the title, but I can't - still worth a read though, guys.

borders melbourne 3 issues for $9.95

read it yesterday... funny how its got a H22 while the euro-R CL7 uses a K20... pretty sure the torneo is lighter too

[Iron Chef]

They're the same weight, thankfully :)

[jyh888]

why does the euro r use the k20 not the k24?? isnt the k24 faster and produce more torque??

[pat88c]

k20 is type R motor likely the reason

[viper8548]

why does the euro r use the k20 not the k24?? isnt the k24 faster and produce more torque??

why cant they make a k24 type r version :cool:

[DreadAngel]

Cause they already have K20As in Civic and Integra hence makes lots more sense to treat K20 with Type-R goodies rather than K24

[aaronng]

why does the euro r use the k20 not the k24?? isnt the k24 faster and produce more torque??

No, 164kW vs 140kW.

[aaronng]

why cant they make a k24 type r version :cool:

Because it would cost to much to make a 8500rpm k24a engine (eventhough I would love to have one)

[90LAN]

No, 164kW vs 140kW.

k24 was built for the masses
k20 for the real hondas

[aaronng]

Can't generalise that way because there is also a 112kW K20a. :p

to me there is only one real k20 mate
coming from a honda aus worker i can understand
your use to getting the shit motors
were talking about the r badged cars
the real cars your company never releases
and if they do are always detuned shit versions of the real thing
:thumbdwn: honda australia

[jyh888]

has anyone mated a k24 bottom with a k20 head? what differences do u get and is it a direct fit?

[onlykillzz]

its not on sevs yet....

[Iron Chef]

It's not on SEVS yet because it takes more than a few days to do the application and get approval - the article has only just been published, and it's one of the eligibility criteria ;)

[foxdie]

deilghtful

[DreadAngel]

Don't forget, SEVS board are picky, they can decline if they want to purely cause they don't like it (In the case of the Aristo...)

Aristo is the same car as a Lexus GS, hence the reason SEVS declined it.

[DreadAngel]

Nah, if that was the case, why is it approved now =P

Aaron doesn't work for Honda...

K24 has much more potential as an engine in my opinion, and there is more than one 'real' K20...

[aaronng]

Oooh, only 91 to 97 approved (when there was no GS here). I guess SEVS were being dicks. hahaha

Speak what about myself? I was not speaking about Honda (the company). I speak for myself and I am no employee of Honda, nor do I have any stake in that company. I am an enthusiast just like yourself.

I was just saying that there are k20a and then there is THE k20a. Heck, I could easily make the assumption that you are less informed when you call the engine a k20a instead of a k20a2 or k20z3. We are not in JDMland anyway.

I'll stick to my DOHC VTEC on both intake and exhaust cams thanks.

Yes, I did buy a non JDM car. I don't need to go and buy another one. And most of us are having brain pains coming down to your level, so please mind your manners here.

Please read your own posts above and tone your attitude. As you said "people on ozhonda dont like their own medicine", so have a look at your own posts. It seems that you can dish it out but then become all defensive when someone tells you off for doing that.

i can take more than you know

so we will leave it at that
but if i was talking to you in real life it would be another sorry
anyway back to the topic

[aaronng]

I'm not almighty. Moderators are servants of the forum. Not gods. Anyway, yes back on topic. I apologise to everyone for going off topic.

Can you STFU and stop starting arguments over cars? We live in Australia, hence we get AUDM cars and not JDM cars. Wrap your mind around that concept, it's not that brain-boggling.

To say one car is better than another is exactly what starts these imports vs. domestic arguments that are ultimately pointless. Everyone works with what they have. Your car is better than some people's, some people's cars are better than yours. End of the day it's exactly what you said, A to B, some people just like to do it in different ways.

nope i can have im say as much as i want
as to the next person who doesnt like jdm like yourself
its not pointless everyone deep downs wants a jdm honda

name a honda that has been released outside of japan has been better than the jdm model
none
so when you have a jdm car come back and put your 2 cents in

Firstly, if you want to be taken seriously then put an ounce of effort into your sentence structure so what you type is actually coherent.

Secondly, why are you assuming I don't like JDM? You can't get new Japanese cars here. You have a JDM EG with a JDM B18C? WOW! Just like every other AUDM EG with a JDM B18C, congratulations.

The Euro, in particular, doesn't have a Japanese equal. Unless you compare the non-R Japanese Euro which had a mighty 118kW or whatever.

Seriously, this is the Euro section and you obviously have nothing to say about Euros, so gtfo. If you're spending your Friday night on Ozhonda starting arguments I think it says a little more about you as a person than your SIK JDM EG does, douche.
