Re: 2015 Civic Type R
I thought they were going to use the earthdreams turbo engines, or are they rebadging the turbo engines as k20. That would be confusing since the k20s are SOHC and I believe the new engine design is DOHC, right?

Re: 2015 Civic Type R
K20 has always been DOHC, it came in the 06-11 Si, 02-06 RSX-S, and others.

Re: 2015 Civic Type R
Direct injection is a pretty big 'redesign' to the current offerings. It's also said that its supposed to have pretty instant power with -0- turbo lag. We will see in the near future...
My question is what type of internals will it have? If its coming with forged rods, the aftermarket will have a hayday with this car.

Re: 2015 Civic Type R
B16 and D16 are two different types of engines. If adding a turbo to and engine from the factory than why did they need to build a k23 JUST TO ADD TURBO when they could've thrown a turbo on the k20a/k24a itself.

K20/24 is DOHC. B/D series is no more. K20t is a K engine 2.0 litres with turbo. A K23/24t would be 2.3 or 2.4 litres.

Re: 2015 Civic Type R
The Type R motor is based off the same k24 thats been used in the 13 accords and now the new CRV. It is only a K series in name only, meaning it shares little to no resemblance to the K series used for the past 10 years. The block shares similarities but the heads are completely re-worked swapping the direction of the Intake and Exhaust flow and implementing the direct injection system. The exhausts now face the front of the car like the old B and D series motors, with intake near the firewall. The new Type R motor is actually called the K20C1.

Re: 2015 Civic Type R
edit: I know it says it will be a detuned setup of the civic type r it could be one of the other turbo'd engines.

Re: 2015 Civic Type R
On another note, the hatch is coming to the US. Will we get an Si or R version, no one knows.
Honda to import Euro market Civic hatch to America
The R engine coming to the US has been confirmed...but what hasn't been confirmed is what chassis will be seeing it.

Re: 2015 Civic Type R
Another source said that Acura will be getting that beastly motor, but as stated the chassis is unconfirmed... Please let them bring back another integra/rsx.

Re: 2015 Civic Type R
no confirmation on that either... and it's just a rumor at best!
CRZ might be getting a variant of the K20T (earthdream wtv you want to call it's a K20T for me lol) but nothing is for sure yet.
Si still not much more news then what was shared earlier. Hoping to see something soon!

Re: 2015 Civic Type R
Evidently, Honda makes a big announcement tomorrow afternoon at the New York Auto Show.
Here are my guesses: Hatchback is confirming to come to the US and/or the S660 is coming to the US

Re: 2015 Civic Type R
I hope it's a hatchback but won't be surprised if it isn't... on the s660 it's pretty cool and interesting but it's not what we want right now!
We need a Type-R and replacement for the S2K!

Re: 2015 Civic Type R
Honda retweeted me and said that the R coming to the US is not an April Fools Day joke.
Thank you Honda!
