Hello people of Hondaswap..Long time no see.. Recently i've been thinking of swapping a k20a in my Ek9 civic type r...Well...according to wiki :
2007- Honda Civic Type-R (FD2)
Displacement: 1998 cc
Compression: 11.7:1
Power: 222 bhp (225 PS, 165 kW) @ 8000 rpm
Torque: 159 ft·lbf (215 N·m) @ 6100 rpm
Redline: 8400 rpm
2001-2005 Honda Civic Type-R (EP3)
Displacement: 1998 cc
Compression: 11.5:1
Power: 212 bhp (215 PS, 158 kW) @ 8000 rpm
Torque: 149 ft·lbf (202 N·m) @ 7000 rpm
Redline: 8400 rpm
2001-2007 Honda Integra Type-R (DC5)
Displacement: 1998 cc
Compression: 11.5:1
Power: 217 bhp (220 PS, 162 kW) @ 8000 rpm
Torque: 152 ft·lbf (206 N·m) @ 7000 rpm
Redline: 8500 rpm
VTEC Engagement: 5600rpm
The question is...If i want. for example, to make sure that i have swapped in my EK9 the K20 that belongs to a DC5 integra(which apparently has more power and torque) and not to an EP3 civic...How can i recognise it? some special characteristics on the engine's appearance? Since they have the same engine code do they also look the same?
And what about the FD2 engine? It's the same shape as the others right? Can it be put in a EK9?
That's all for the moment...Thank you in advance...
