FD2 Sport?? & K20 engines??

[troys2000]

Hi,
Am looking into a civic to replace my S2000.
Can someone explain the FD2? I thought its the Jap Type R
Found some people saying there 06 civic have the K20 engine? Is this correct?
Would love a civic with the extra power of the K20 engine.

Thanks
Troy

Fd2r does has the K20A. But it's rare as fk and expansive as fk, cost something like $50g plus last time one was advertised.


Civic sport has a pretty mild k20, something like 114kw.

Thanks.
So how come that civic on the link has the different engine? its black motor not like the usual civic sport that has a silver top that looks like the old integra engine

^^^^ edited to include civic sport and k20z2 Don't worry too muh about the black top vs silver top.

Thats the manifold cover, and it differs between the cars, for example, myk24 cl9 has silver cover, but a k24 CU2 has black cover


Honda ain't Toyota, top colours don't count as much lol

Why is it so detuned? Or are allot of the internals different too? Can you chip it to get more power?
Just having 178kw to 114kw will feel slow compared to what I am used too lol.
I thought it would have the integra motor.

WTF why put vtec on the inlet only and not exhaust does not make sence.
Dont know what else to get under $20,000 other than a civic sport

Piss the FD2 conversion off, better off starting with an FD1 which is a hell of a lot lighter, just drop a FD2 subframe in and your away.

Cheapest option, get a 2nd hand fd1 for the lowest price with a straight chassis and k24 it lol

Now ya Talking ekay1 !! cheaper K24 motor would certainly lessen the conversion cost.

Exactly ey! Just buy like a fd with tons of k's straight chassis for like 13k? k24 + parts + labour, all up like 25k for a fd with a k24? thats like the price of a new fd1, but with a nice torquey engine.

That's like the price of an Evo 7/8.... Just sayin
