They are totally different. FD1 being SOHC has the fuel efficient i-vtec implementation. Where as the FD2 is DOHC... so I assume it has the higher revving VTEC kick implementation.
Read up on the R18a, just google R18a review TOV (temple of vtec) - they have a couple of articles on the R18a.
IMO, I don't think anyone should chose the FD2 over the FD1 *just* for the engine... I'd imagine it would be mainly for the different trim. The extra 10kw or so doesn't justify the bigger price. But yeah... it has the leather seats, side curtain air bags etc. So thats all good...
