Default Curious about Mugen RR Experimental Spec 2.2 "K20A" engine


Mugen RR Experimental Spec on Youtube

This year’s Tokyo Auto Salon has come and gone but with all the coverage of the coinciding Detroit Auto Show many of the modified motors were launched with barely a mention. One car that didn’t fail to get our attention was the Mugen prepped Honda Civic Type-RR Experiment Spec, which also debuted a new 260hp (194kW) 2.2L K20A engine.

The new engine is based on the regular 2.0L Type-R unit but thanks to a stroker kit now displaces 2,157cc. It’s the same basic i-VTEC 2.0L unit, but Honda has reduced friction on the internals and redesigned the camshafts. Other modifications include uprated brakes, shocks and springs and Mugen’s new ‘I-TCMS’ tire monitoring system.

Another area that’s been improved is the gearbox set-up. The standard model’s manual ‘box has been replaced with a six-speed sequential unit, which shifts gears in a blistering 80 milliseconds. The car still retains a clutch but this is only used when launching from a standstill. The car’s body has also been given a major makeover. In addition to the new carbon-fiber front bar, designers stripped out the cabin and replaced the standard seats with figure-hugging buckets.

My question is how do they make a 2.2 engine out of a K20A ?
cos K20/K24 hybrid seems has clearance problem and this K"22"A looks just right as a DD

I just love the potential from a K20A
so I've been save up money and doin research on it
Which get more potential
K20A w/ stroker kit or K20/K24 hybrid
plus I heard we can't rev the k20/k24 too high ?
I wanna swap it into my 99 Si
then can I still hv the stock hood (top clearance) and the h-brace (bottom clearance)?
Does anyone figure it out how to keep Power steering and A/C cos the car will still be my DD
Thanks

Yes - s2000 = 2157cc displacement

Tuners for some time have been putting H, F, and K series parts together like lego experiments. Some truly great frankenstiens have been put together.

This vehicle, the new iteration of it - incredible. http://mugen-power.com/concept/autos...ept/index.html
