Default i dont understand this picture

So this is aparently a K20a fron a FD2R.
this guys is doing a whole conversion from FD1 to FD2R.
Here is the website:

But the part i dont get is this engine setup.
Im assuming is the stock typeR engine with the whole suspension setup but why it seems that the exhaust is in the front of this k series?

That is not a K it's an R18. FD1 cars came with the 1.8 R18. The FD2 came with the K series motor.

I think the R20 only came in the Accord and CR-V. I could be wrong.

I was curious to know what 2.0 is in the 2.0 FD civic, K20Zx. I was pretty sure there were some R20 civics in the Phillipines.

He put the R18 back in it. You can see it in the picture where the guy is applying the inner hood sticker. That's an R18

All that money on a conversion, strip down and color change to put back the powerless drivetrain. Like doing an Si conversion on an EX, a waste.
