It might be, but i'm talking about how it's not a performance oriented engine
honestly speaking, I like the modding FD1 more.. but I don't why I went to mod the FD2.. :p
there's only 10kw-ish difference between the k20z2 and the r18a.. also bare in mind fd2 is 100kg heavier than fd1 due to luxuries + engine weight..
so which one's faster?
103 kW + 1180 kg = 87 kw/tonne
114 kW + 1260 kg = 90 kW/tonne
Looks like the FD2's faster - it probs has better suspensions etc. as well.
'this of course means handing them over to our tamed racing driver
Some say....'
haha true that.. I dragged both my FD1/FD2.. 2 outta 3 times my FD1 reaches the speed limit a tad faster.. this could be other factors such as DBW lag, my weight.. I'm big and heavy.. yadda yadda.. both auto cars.. teehee..
based on this article http://asia.vtec.net/hardcore/Civic20S/index.html the k20z2 out performs the r18a.. but this debate can go on forever..
EXcellent find! Saving this one.
oh so they're quite close? the K20z2's a bit of a flop imo :(
k20z4 ftw!
hey all.. lowered my car more with camber kit!
quality was reduced hard.. when i resized it..
better pic's on the way!

Wow.. LOW!!
that's low!! looks perfect man.. I'd have to snake that car up everywhere if it's in melb..! more dumpage on your way? hee heeeee
ye i was pretty disappointed with the 10kw difference btw a vti and 'sport' model.. one of the reasons y i got the FD1 instead.. but atleast the FD2 2.0l has more power than the other cars in its engine class capacity.Quote:

R18A has more power & responsiveness in the low-mid rev range whereas the K20Z2 has more in the high-end rev rangeQuote:

im hoping simota's carbon charger intake can improve responsiveness in low-mid range.. hoping.. lol
114 if u got enough mods. but atw u get like... 85.
I remember at autosalon in 2008, there was an FD2... putting out 76 kW atw!
i believe fallenangel's FD1 got his to 88.9kw atw.. aiming for 90's
done recently at ISMR dyno day.. mods put on was ingen CAI, and a muffler catback exhaust system of some sort
