what kinda engine is a tpye r motor for a civic. i am trying to find some stats on it because a friend is talking about how fast they are. i am just trying to find out how true this statement is

low 15's... that's flyin dawg!

 

can that motor be transplanted into a 97?

 

nevermind google skills finally worked

 

That's a K20^^

The OP is reffering to the B18C5 in the 97-01 Hype Rs. Some have ran high 14s in those cars.

 

actually the k20a2 nets mid 14's stock

the b18c5 is for the integra type r...not the civic type r. it runs 14.8's on average

the civic type r is a jdm b16a. They dont make them in america. It's 170hp with around 109 torque. the american b16a2 is 160hp only. a civic with a b16a2 and nothing else should be able to pull a 15.2. However with exhaust and a chip they can see 14.1 consitstant with a 9k redline

 

Thank God you cleared that up! I was a bit confused.

 

yep

 

Why can't honda just name their damn engines,

Ya the best honda engine is the 34tyh349a-2434-r

wow how do the ricers remember all these different engines, maybe they are smarter than we give them credit for??

 

wow haha. Yea we are smarter because we didnt buy a damn ford lmao.

#1: the engines are named after the series followed by how many liters it is and followed by the version(jdm or usdm)

b=series,16=1.6 liter, a2= usdm a=jdm

#2: You ahve a 94 mustang gt. If you like your muscle cars so much then go get a real one. Something before 1980 please.... or maybe buy a better brand...something not made by ford. it's a shame that my 4 cyl can crush your overated v8's.
