K20c was what an 02 rsx-s engine was called during an article in some import mag. However no engine is actually stamped k20c. Theres k20a, k20a2, k20a3 and im sure some other variations given in random *** countries. But no k20c.

now I have a better question anyone heard of useing the k23a1 from the rdx since it is set up for turbo from the factory i know its real new but its still a k series and the swap in the end should be like any other k but you will prob run into space issues w/ the turbo against the firewall and forget about putting that into a crx

the k20c does indeed exist, but why would you want to waste your time trying to find a k20c when k20a/k20z1/k20z3/k20a2's are readily available?

I remember there was an article in the past about K20C. A debut went around online that it was a type-O by the editor.

you will have to go overseas if you want that much proof...stop being stubborn and realize there are things you may not know....follow the link i provided from superhonda if you want more proof


here is some more proof for your non believing ***

http://www.autozine.org/Graveyard/ht...ntegra_IV.html

image i did all this with google, try it sometime cuz your research is poor

oh yeah do one other thing for me contact honda japan and tell this engine they produced doesn't exist because you don't have a engine block stamp, tell me what they say....

did you read either of those threads? the h-t thread agrees that there's no such thing as the k20c, while the sho thread is from 2002, when the info wasn't widely available. the base rsx and 02-05 si came with the k20a3, not the k20a. the itr and ctr came with the k20a, not the k20c.

the fact still remains that honda produced a k20c engine, just because its 2009 doesnt mean it doesn't exist

here is some more proof

http://www.k20a.org/upload/Kserieschart.htm

and this is from 2006

it is from the euro/jdm ctr

came from this thread...there is supporting documentation that there is a k20c

yes i read them and just because people agree there is no k20c doesn't mean there is no k20c....do have proof that it doesn't exist other than other people form other forums say it doesn't exist or are you just going along with everyone else because you cannot find information regarding the motor does exist??


and there is this too straight from a published magazine article with a dc5 that has a k20c
http://www.modified.com/features/020...t_springs.html

maybe dc sports can shed some more light on this since this is their car

dunno dont care about this topic anymore

do you honestly think the 02+ rsx-s has a k20c??? your sig says that you drive an 02 rsx-s, pop your hood and tell me what the code is on the block. my bro's 02 says k20a2, along with my buddy's 03. what does yours say?

you might be right about the existence of the k20c, though i really really doubt it. most websites i've found say that the k20c came in both the ep ctr and the 02+ rsx-s, and it definitely DIDN'T come in the rsx. also, the articles that say this are from 01-02, when the correct info obviously wasn't available. so, the k20c doesn't exist until someone proves it.

u just said in the same post that it is poasible it cud exist an then u said it doesntbtil someone proves it. U cannot prove that ut doeant exist and i cant prove that it dies exist therefore this topic is null in void. Neither party can prove with difinative evidence that it does or doea not exist. There is somewhere thou that there was talk of the k20c being in euro version of the ctr. Thats what people are going off of!!
