Just wondering what model engine the new CR-V uses, I believe it is a i-VTEC, something like a 2.4???... the old CR-V had the b20 which a few people used in their cars... not sure bout the new one... any info?
same capacity as the accor euro but less power (weird!?!)
but dunno if same engine..doubt it tho..
Its a K24 from memory...so similar to the euro accord engine.
The CRV has max torque at 3600rpm instead of 4500rpm for the euro and max power at 6k rpm instead of 6800rpm. Also the compression ratio is 10.5:1 for the euro and 9.6:1 for the CRV, which would explain the power difference methinks
yea wat's that all about - compression ratio?? i haven't a clue wat it means..
compression ratio is basically how much the gasses (air and fuel) are compressed in the cylinder. High comp. ratio will make more power but also cause more stress to the engine. With Hondas the performance cars will have higher compression ratios than the family cars (for example, the type-R integra is around 11:1 while the gen5 accord is 8.8:1).
Higher compression ratio means the car is more 'on the edge' also, as there is a greater chance of detonation and engine damage. However that generally is not an issue with stock cars, only cars that are modified and bump the compression ratio up. A higher comp. ratio also means you have to use a higher octane fuel, so the euro accord most likely only runs on premium.
Thats quite a basic explanation and i'm sure one of the really tech minded guys can improve on it

That's a good explaination Pete.
Just to elaborate (not on topic really), this is the reason a lot of guys that go turbo don't do it to an ITR engine. It is much easier to blow the engine if you are not careful. I'm not saying it's not possible, you just need to be more cautious cause of the higher compression levels.

I don't know much about the crv engine, but the head is most probably different.
Things like cam lift and duration for VTEC is most probably quite different.
Give that its a 4WD i'd say its setup for nice torque down low in the rpm range.

Complete 4WD running gear package for an early Civic anyone...........

Funny you said that.......i've been thinking this for awhile and wondering why nobody has done it (hell the put a 4WD system in an accent!).
The b series block and box should bolt right up. Just a matter of getting the driveshafts and tailshafts aligned properly.
CRV running gear in a CRX (and civic as well i believe, though i havent seen one yet) has been done in the US, they've had issues with getting the rear drive shafts to accept the power given out by a boosted engine though :)

sounds alright.. so what kind of engines have been successful through turbocharging... (vtec equipped)... :lol:
i think every Honda engine has been turbo charged by now :lol:

K24A i-VTEC ... No one uses this engine at this stage. The Euro Accord uses the same engine as DC5R K20A.

the cord euro in aus is a 2.4 :?:

That is correct. The Euro runs a 2.4L DOHC VTEC not from the DC5R.
