My name is david.I am from japan just immigrated in Melbourne and own a auto modification shop called AutoVogue back in Osaka Japan.many friends and customer modified their 8th civic in my shop,more than 10 FD2 and did 3 times fd1 k20A conversion.
First month back to Melbourne,new house just settled.Try to find a FD2 here instead taking public transport here(honestly the public transport is really inefficient and slow here),but failed so purchased a fn2 instead.
Yesterday I was browsing on this forum and saw someone selling a so-called FD2,when I clicked in.its just FD1 r20 2.0 Civic,try to correct the seller,but bring all laugh and tease today,said something like that.
FD1 - 1.8L (vti, vti-l)
FD2 - 2L (sport)
FD2r - 2L (type R)
FD3 - Hybrid
In our place the 114kW r18 sohc 2.0L civic use the exact same chassis as 1.8 r18 Civic,so wat we call is FD1 2.0.FA1 North american version and FA2 for Si.The FD2 type-r which fit the 225hp K20A engine,the chassis is totally different to 2.0L FD1 civic.Stronger and much more weld point.the engine mount point is bit different as well,FD1 can implant K20A engine but need work all through the whole chassis.even that it's still not as stronger as FD2 chassis.FN2 is also available in our place but with LSD stock and can also change the rear suspension type when u order from the honda dealer.So u guys call civic sport 2.0 also FD2,do u mean the OZ civic 2.0 use the FD2 chassis?make me quite confused.In japanese market,all we got for 8th civic are
FD1 1.8 (R18)
FD1 2.0 (R20)
FD2 (which means K20A type r)
FD3 hybrid(MF5 engine.also bit different on chassis due to battery fit)
Mugen RR FD2(240hp K20A)
few FA2(SI with K20Z2)
FN1
FN2 (K20Z2 same as si,sometimes Z4,different piston structure,bit better on quality)
MUGEN RR FN2(240HP K20A)
so in japan if u say FD2.it absolutely means civic type-r sedan.no one will get confused
dun no why in here people always say FN2R as we just say FN2,and call civic 2.0 fd1 as FD2,cause the FD2 chassis is totally a new product compare to FD1
just curious,if im wrong or the chassis of 2.0 civic sport in australia is same to FD2,my mistakes.cause in japan the R20 use the FD1 chassis as far as I saw
And another thing is fd1 2.0 civic use exact same engine point as 1.8 one,cause they r all sohc R series,just the midengine is different,i invent the word midengine,dun no the term in English.the chassis codes of fd type-r and normal fd are both near the left suspension mount under the panel.our workshop did many rebuilts of fd1 k20a conversions. fd2 chassis is specially designed and reinforced for fd type-r.and both r18 r20 use the fd1 chassis.for example just like Subaru impreza also 8th gen gda and gdb.as we said wrx8 or wrx8 sti.not only ej207 or ej205,gear box and brake different.the chassis is bit different as well.the gdb is reinforced as well,has more weld point.common mistake is people think they r the same,but actually they r not.but not as much as the huge difference between fd1 and fd2,the fd2 chassis which has a engraved code on every fd type-r and fd1 2.0 and 1.8 also has a one.as I said under left panel near the front suspension mount.the fd2 chassis is way better than fd1.a lot material is different as well.if u wanna do conversion.u need a lot of effort to reinforce and reweld the fd1 chassis.dun no why the VIN of civic 2.0 use a fd2 initial here,but as far as I know and 3 rebuilt 2.0 civic I saw before.the chassis are definitely fd1. the hybrid one chassis is redesign and modify a bit as well due to mf5 engine and extra battery,haven't see any rebuilt one but in Osaka we call it fd3 as well.
Ps:Get more and more confused since I talked about car in mel especially on sort of car like R35 and 22B and etc.makes me crazy and wanna chop my dick off
