Just purchased a new 2006 civic ex coupe. Wondering what the new engine code might be... and also what the ivtec engagment points would be. (rpms)

 

anyone have any idea?

Well, it R18 but I dont know the letter/number after it. Here is an article with a bit of info, I will see if I can come up with anything else.

edit: Seems to be R18A1 for the EX at least. I think DX, LX, EX all have the same engine/code not 100% sure though.

all the new civics minus the si have the same motor.

 

Thanks for the good info. Anyone have anything else too add?

R18A1

i-VTEC doesn't have a single "primary" engagement point like the older VTEC system. It is much more fluid and seamless. Some like it that way and some don't. I personally like it that way.

i've gunned it a billion times on my FG1 already.. i can't tell WHEN "vtec" engages its so ****** smooth...

granted its not k20, you should still be able to tell, although my **** is stock as a mug lol... probably after you put an intake on you'll hear a difference.. but iono even then... it might just be smooth and VERY subtle. . . its nothing like my old b16 on my EM1

btw, i got an ASM Ex coupe
