Most powerful NA CTR in the UK(?)
Just thought I'd give the H-T all motor junkies a headup on this 279.4hp (flywheel) 10k revving CTR. I'm just wondering how good these numbers are as I might be taking my ITR down to Nemesis sometime in the future.
From what I know the car has the following mods:
Crower con-rods
JE high compression pistons & rings 11:5
Spoon 4-2-1 header and catback
Gruppe M Ram air carbon fibre induction with cold air feed
Spoon TB
Toda cams
Toda valve springs
Greddy ECU with remap
SRR Oil catch can and breather

Factory Specification
Based on the humble Honda Civic, the Type-R marks the welcome return of the hot hatch. Equipped with an extremely advanced naturally aspirated engine, it also boasts many high performance enhancements over the standard Civic models, including a newly developed close ratio 6 speed manual transmission, Curb Weight 1204kg
Engine 2.0-litre, 16-valves, DOHC, i-VTEC
Comp. Ratio 10.3:1
Redline 7200rpm
Max. Power 197bhp @ 7400rpm
Max. Torque 144lb/ft @ 5900rpm
Transmission Front wheel drive, 6-speed manual
0 - 60 mph 6.8 secs
double wishbone suspension, huge brakes and 17 inch alloy wheels wrapped in 205/45 spec rubber. The design concept was to create a 'hatchback bullet', and this was achieved both in the streamlined looks of the R, and its blistering performance. This particular Type-R was purchased in 2003 and has seen some serious modifications since.
The standard spec of the Type-R is extremely impressive considering the car is very eco friendly.
Project Aims
We now consider our Honda Civic Type-R as a fast road and track car which is currently in everyday use as we continue to test our products for your satisfaction. Though how much longer the car remains street legal is anyone's guess!
Shortly after the purchase of our car in 2003 work started on the body kit, designed and manufactured in-house which consists of both a new front and rear bumper with integrated fully adjustable rear diffuser which mounts via stainless steel length threaded shafts x3. This allows the rear diffuser to be
both raised and lowered including tilt adjustability. An adjustable Mugen rear spoiler was also fitted and to lighten the load further, Perspex side and rear windows were installed.
We changed the standard and slightly overweight alloys for a set of 17 inch
5-Zigen FN-01R forged racing wheels fitted with Dunlop Formula-R SP Sports D01J 215/45ZR/ 17 tyres.
The suspension was soon replaced with a fully adjustable Tein Type Flex coilovers and rose jointed front lower arms to help provide superior handling; the end result lowered the car by approximately 350mm.
To alleviate the inevitable problems of putting large amounts of power through
a front wheel drive transmission, a Spoon limited slip differential was fitted. This improved the cars handling ability considerably whilst also improving the cars overall stability at high speeds and eliminating unwanted understeer.
With the handling and exterior looks complete we next turned our attention to
the performance of the engine. The engine modifications include steel con
rods, steel pistons (high compression), 0.5mm head gasket, cylinder head machined to our own spec, Toda spec-A cams, titanium valve springs, Jenvey individual throttle body injection, Spoon 421 exhaust manifold, Motec M400 fuel management, Enjo Performance poly engine mounts, electric vacuum pump and an Exedy Hyper single carbon clutch to help transmit the power effectively onto the road.
Sparco seat and Willans harnesses were installed in place of the standard seats including the complete strip of all interior panels and roof lining leaving just the original dash in place. We then relocated the battery and housed it in
a carbon enclosed box in the rear of the car.
The brakes have also not escaped improvement and a set of Spoon mono
block front callipers were installed in place of the standard units.
To finish stiffening the car up a full FIA approved roll cage was installed the same as used in the Civic Type-R touring cars.
By this stage the car was now fully transformed and greatly improved upon over the original standard Civic with quicker turn-in stability and additional mid-range.
To finish of the overall look of the car we used our in-house graphics designer
to come up with a decal design scheme to finish of the overall impact we were looking for.
Having completed the project there was only one more area of fulfilment we needed to satisfy… The question was asked! Just how powerful is the car now?
We conservatively estimated between 240 to 260bhp at the flywheel but were more than pleasantly surprised when the car finished its testing on the rolling road.
A standard Type-R provides 197bhp at the flywheel which is extremely impressive from a 2 litre 4-pot engine, so when the figure of 279.4bhp read on the printout we finally new that we had produced the officially most powerful normally aspirated Civic Type-R in the UK.
