The Honda Civic Type R crushes the competition, and all for less money. At $35,000, you might not expect the Civic to be faster than the more expensive Ford Focus RS, VW Golf R, and even the limited edition Subaru WRX STI Type RA, but it is. Whether it's acceleration, track times, braking distances, useable cargo space, or efficiency, the Civic Type R puts down incredible numbers.
At the heart of the Type R is the K20C1 engine, a two-liter inline four-cylinder that's turbocharged packing 295 lb-ft of torque, and 306 horsepower. In this video we'll explore the numbers surrounding the Civic Type R, and deep dive into the engine to find out just what makes it so special.

The amount of good engineering that went into this is absolutely making me moist.
Amazing
*NICE*
I-
Doesn't matter how good the engineering was. My mustang will gap the type R easily.
Those are the cooling oil jets working
"saving weight with smaller spark plugs"
OK now you're just stretching lol
lmfao went right to the comments after i heard him say that
But that leg room
Look at the Ferrari F40. They claimed the didn't have door handles inside to reduce weight. Weird, I know.
@@DellisHe The F40 had a ton more than just the door hangles striped to save the weight and theres alot more that goes into a door opening than just the handle(they used weight saving wire). I honestly can't believe you are choosing this die on this hill lol
Save even more weight by getting rid of the spark plugs. :))) (Let's see how many of you get the idea)
High performance and reliability. Well done Honda! In the Type R for the first 100,000 miles just change the oil and the filters. In other high performance cars, after the first 100,000 miles it is time to change the car. Younger people may not appreciate this but I LOVE how Honda designed this car to have a timing chain vs a rubber timing belt. A rubber timing belt is like a break down waiting to happen and the fact that this timing chain will last the life of the engine is another reason why I am proud to be a Type R owner. Again well done with the video and well done Honda!
With a belt, it’s a maintenance item which if adhered to correctly, should be fine. A timing chain however only gets replaced when it goes wrong, either rattling or when the timing chain assembly has jumped etc, at which point its possibly too late. Also timing chains are heavily reliant on good service intervals, partially correct oil grade. Timing belts aren’t. There are pros and cons for both setups, me personally I’d rather have a belt. Easier and usually cheaper to change, and less reliant on previous owners maintenance.
@@Phil_Moni For the Type R the oil I use is full synthetic 0w - 20w by Valvoline.
@@scott4207 You bring up some good points. For me, after working on cars for more than 30 years I would rather have a timing chain. You bring up a good point about used cars. If you buy one used one of the first things you should do is change the timing belt for piece of mind. After all the headaches of owning old cars I really appreciate buying a new car with a warranty. I just don't have the time I used to to work on cars. When I start my car I just want it to work.
U forgot to mention
The overheating problem with
The r
So I will pass
@@cb400fhonda6 You are passing on an incredible machine. I don't regularly track my car. When I do drive it I do some spirited driving and I have experienced zero over heating issues which is why I am very confident I will have no problems keeping car for a very long time.
Hondas been killing with the four banger for a while I believe
Almost 30 years
Since the zc dohc
Like 4 evAr!
@Invisible Trust which car was that
Butters S. 😂
You can tell what Jason is thinking during this video.
I want to put this in my s2000
I want to put this in my s2000
I want to put this in my s2000
Dbn Poldermans make the s2k fwd or make the engine rwd either way that’s a hell of a job to do
I think He meant the 2L turbo iVTEC motor
He already has a supercharged 2L in his car. It would be a massive waste of money and time and all it would mean for him is a little less weight
@@isabelle.c011 just change the gearbox.. The stock s2000 engine is just mounted longitudinally with a different box, its just a tuned engine used in most honda fwd's. So take this turbo engine, mount longitudinally (weld new mounting points) and potentially fot the stock s2000 gearbox and youre there.
His engine is probably capable of more power already with an ECU and pulley.
The Type R is the best FWD hatch in the world right now It's an engineering marvel by Honda Kudos Honda
That's subjective.
If you like pure acceleration like I do, the Type R is the worst to pick.
If you like track work, then the Type R is the one to go with.
It was a bit too pokey acceleration wise for my taste, especially after driving a Focus RS.
@@jdmandeuroenthusiast5804 All in all, the type r came out on top over the RS in Motortrends hot hatch competition; It's just a better all around vehicle. Additionally, it will be 100% more reliable and dependable. Remember, the RS is still a Ford.
@Yul Strokheet Al-Wauch LOL overheat? Yeah...it's a track car designed for ROADS AND STREETS with an occasional track day. This is not a car designed for full time track use.
@@djs18 True, but I'm not really brand picky, though obviously I choose JDM most of the time. It's beginning to get more consistent high traps than before. The Focus RS is dead anyways I think. I will say from a standstill, stock to stock, the RS will beat the Civic and it won't catch up until way late, maybe 150mph. Those are top end cars, the RS simply has more TQ/HP. From a roll obviously the Type R wins.
@@djs18 I think the Civic is slow until it gains its stride off the line, so other cars gap it easily especially AWD, it's ET has stayed at 13.7-13.8, but trap has been consistently over 105mph recently in tests.
The Type R is a better car. Not sure which id choose. I don't like FWD much but I test drove an FK8 and it handled like a Lotus. It just felt too slow out of corners, lots of wheelspin, great on the highway for passing.
Just my 2 cents.
I don’t understand why the way the Type R looks gets so much hate. I love the way it looks. I’d rather drive something that doesn’t look like everything else on the road. When you see a Type R, it catches your eye.
Stefan yea, those fake air vents look awesome.
Mark Kosmala lol like every damn car don’t have fake air vents nowadays
someone else what would you rather be seen in?
You couldn’t be seen in such a car either you can’t afford it or the wife wears the pants in the family
@someone else look is subjective. But type R definitely draws attention either in good or bad way.
These cars handle unbelievably. I run time attack and a few of these came out and destroyed the track records.
Yea it did. Btw, my cousin have the same exact name like yours. Are you filipino?
@@cooleye8887 lmao
The camera work on the engine shots is top notch! I loved the valve cover fade-away to the DOHC. Great video!!!
Thanks! I put in mildly more effort and used a new mirrorless camera. :)
I was going to make a comment on this video but you did it for me!
Honda engines are very well designed. I've owned a couple Honda cars in the past. I had a brand new 1990 CrxSi in HS, it was so much fun to drive.
Engines good, but the frames around them are extremely weak :(
Frames may be weak but they're super light
ill give them that, a honda civic is only 85 lbs heavier than my swb 2wd ranger, so theyre pretty light
Yes they are! I LOVE my RSX. Fast and reliable
They make the shittiest F1 engines though.
This is the best car person I know of who can explain automotive engineering as well. Thank you!
I’m so glad I was able to purchase a 2018 Accord 2.0 6MT in my favorite color, Black
regardless of what you say bout FWD or anything like that, honda know how to make an engine.
The FF platform is a fun one, but Honda NEEDS to bring back the s2000 and put this Type R engine in it in FR configuration.
They can't make a V6 or a V8
@Peder Hansen You forgot cheapest of the four, lightest of the four, longest wheel base, widest track, second largest cargo space, and highest mpg. But yeah, it looks weird.
All that's great, but the days of the ICE are numbered. Electrification is moving in and here to stay. The consumer may no want it (Not yet at least. ). The government however is going to ram it down your throats. Rev'em while you can.
@@tnsd5801 Electric car life cycle will decline as other technologies develop. Electric isn't as efficient as they like you to believe.
"which means it's reliable" omg I'm dying ahahah
LMAO so funny
Don't get it, someone pls explain
Hrithik. D.Prasad Honda last 3-4 (?) years in F1 had* serious reliability problems with McLaren.
* current year have better reliability though and some say that McLaren wanted too much of small package hence the reliability problems. This year with Toro Rosso they have much better in reliability.
Last year Honda's F1 engine was horribly unreliable, This year its a lot better though
Edit: Joke is at 3:36
Lol, great nod to McClaren. I’m sure Alonso would have something to say 😂😂😂
I have raced a Type R (uphill) and I was incredibly surprised by how it kept going against a bigger engine. It's really some genius engineering TBH.
What engine was it racing?
"save a bit of weight with the spark plugs"
My farts weigh more than the weight savings.
The sparkplugs are skinny because the valves are so big
well the main idea is to make more room in the combustion chamber.... i dont know why half of the people in the comments are bashing the smaller spark plugs like he said that was the main reason
its not about the weight of the spark plugs... its about making the engine smaller that reduces the weight and the smaller plugs allows them to make that size reduction...
Those may not be farts
@@patrickrebert5011
LMAO.....😂
Chain drive. Honda claims it is designed for the life of the engine.
Well, if it fails it’s . . . umm . . . the end of the engine
So yes, Honda is absolutely right about that.
Lmao
Eduard van Raalte i have seen Ford timing chains last over 300,000mi on their pickups. My pickup has 225,000 and no issues with the chain. My buddy has a Grom with 2,500 and the final drive chain is toast. My Grom's chain has 3,200mi with 40% life left. Would be more but i just changed again lubes a few months ago. So, regular oil changes, a chain will last a long time.
@@jkutches17 i have a 2008 Mustang GT with the 4.6... I think I changed my chains at around 130k tho. My engine eats oil a bit but it still drives cool and gud
Jupiter Fox! That's because you (or the previous owner) didn't do timely oil changes. They say 8,000mi. That's 8,000 freeway open freeway miles, 5,000mi suburb, or 3,000 downtown San Francisco. My 4.6L 2V burns maybe 1/2 quart between oil changes but i change it every 3,000mi. Timing chain is just fine and i am the second owner.
A Honda engine does not fail😎
This is the best Honda commercial I've ever seen
Bill i can actually see your brain
@Pretty Sure RWD, better dynamics better balanced higher traction through curves, get over it.
@Pretty Sure On paper, dry road and middle range temperatures. Every day on the road, the Golf R is way better. In Germany is 5 month cold winter a year and more than half the year the roads are wet. The Type R is just one more overpowered front wheel drive there. Maybe faster on a dry racetrack, but not where I'm driving most of the time.
Yea he just gave everyone the map to beat so my bro took his subi wrx fa20 2.0L to fathouse fab for a software up grade on their 4 roller dyno and gained 70 extra ponies for a total of 305 at each tire ... Its a 2015 with first year 6 speed torque vectoring ..now it gets 25mpg 0 - 60 @ 3.7 sec cost of fathouse fab tune $600 bucks ( cheap in my book) to get 70+hp the old school way cost more than $600 bucks that only paid for a tunnel rams with the carbs plus a cam to back that up another $2k then Set of headman headers with purple horny header glass packs and a lower set of gears cause you lose a bunch of low end torque with two Holley Dominators on a pro stock tunnel ram ...so old school hp is measured in hours spent vs pounds of gold for.. parts ...subi tune cheap and fast
@@joepopes7923 a wrx fa20 will motor you with a fathouse fab $600 buck software tune that givith 305 at the tires and way more torque than that
Your deep knowledge and detailed explanation is nothing but first class. So so impressed. I can watch the video again and again. Kudos. 👍👍
You put that type R engine in your s2000? You know you want to right?
Dylan L too big
Dylan L why would you want to put a breast faster engine in as an engine swap? Dumbest comment on UA-cam you just made.
Dylan L the K motor is better than the F20.

6:15 "100K Miles, Waterpump *JUST* inspected?"
GTI: " Wait, don't you mean your 3rd Waterpump installation?! Hello what is this JUST inspection? i do not know the meaning of this."
The Honda water pump is one of the weakest links in a Honda and has been for generations. I would check the water pump every 50k miles on the R.
The newer water pumps hold up really well. Only seen a couple of those leak at like 150k plus. Transmissions however are the true Honda weak spot.
@@jayz4dayz763 only on their Automatic, if you're not take care it from the get-go
Honda's Manual pretty much bulletproof
I really did like driving my GTI, but ya, it was a pain in the ass
what are you guys talking about? have only every seen failed water pumps on one model and only affecting a couple years and the automatic transmissions only had problems for the 00-04 v6 models. hell, we have had cars come in that were slipping, did a fluid drain and fill and the transmission started working fine again.
I love my fk8, it handles great, it is a ton of fun and most people change their mind on the looks when they get to see it. Pretty badass in person!
They look super purposeful on the road! Nice!
I saw an FK8 (non Type R) irl coloured gray and yes, it looks much better in person than it does on a monitor.
This is the best EE video yet, and the best vid on the Type R and Accord engines as well! Very nicely polished and well-produced.
I was so thoroughly impressed by a recent Accord Touring with the 2.0T it's now probably my next car, it didn't feel far off from my usual v8 driver (besides having to wait a second or two longer to spool up the turbo) on high speed highway passing, and still did 35 mpg without being babied.
that honda f1 roast
Solid burn! haha
Jdm Wong?
blame Mclaren, who got too used Mercedes flexibility. I bet Red Bull will fly with it next year.
Honda f1 machine couldn't even reach 900hp, 881 hp. Not only one of the slowest but also full of problems.

"you can buy it as a crate engine, but only for the track."
What are they gonna do about it if I put it in my road car? If i'm buying the engine, i'll do what I damn well please with it.
Liability reasons
Govt emissions regulations. If you are producing an engine designed for road use it needs to meet all emissions regulations. Hopefully it's just a "I promise I'm putting this on a race car" check box and they don't need proof. Anyone know how Chevy does it?
Sadly, most states that do regular inspections would deem it an illegal engine swap for a street car.
You can stick it wherever you want. But I'm guessing the legalese in the description for purchasing one of their engines has more to do with Federal emission laws then them caring what you do with their engine
@@volvo09 the only thibg it would need is meeting emmisiions so u would have to find a civic type r exhaust system for your car to smog it. Then get the swap approved by the DMV. California is the hardest hows your state?
The great thing about these videos is that the explanation is clear and explained well so that we are raised up in our understanding and knowledge, rather than dumbing things down.
Makes me want to get a CR-Z and Type-R Swap it.

The CR-Z is a cool looking car
@Yul Strokheet Al-Wauch x3 super gayyyyy hondas..
Masterpiece of Japanese engineering
Low bar...
@Adam Fears I'm not even a fan of Honda honestly, I like the front of the car but overall I hate their new styling. But that's simply, the art of engineering!
Props to honda, the numbers don't lie. However you can't deny that RWD increases fun-factor enough to sway people away from the honda platform.
it's a shame... if honda made a RWD like the s2000 again it would be nuts
Too bad my old si blew up it would be awesome rwd with this engine
I love FWD and RWD. Have a mustang AND a civic. All love
I put this engine into Toyota MR2 Spyder and boom its RWD.
Not to mention the ugly ricer styling.
Excellent video and in-depth review! I can't believe how the Type R blows the competition away.

Happy to hear it, thanks for watching!
Great video! Now only if they make another S2000 with this engine, and rev it to 9k
SK8215 I’ve heard they are working on another s car but it most likely won’t have the type r engine
@@MissingLinkGTRS that would be nice but that would make the turbo pointless, because some of the reasons for going turbo is power and longevity.
No chance to do that because of the environmental laws
Honda stated earlier in the year, that the s2k will not be coming back. Not any time soon at least.
No, just no.
This is a great site. Very informative in plain english.
Hi. Jason.
I watch your channel regularly and love the videos, thank you so much from Canada, 2 months
ago I start to look for performance car and fun to drive that the working class can afford it because I lived in the cold climate and lots of snow during winter time, my first consideration is 4wd, after watching your other video, you said you might upset sti owner, thanks again for sharing your technical knowledge, so I picked the civic type R with unmistakable and no regret for 60 birthday, peoples often said you too old for the car then so what ?
Appreciate your insightful knowledge of the Type R engine!!! Two thumbs up!
Had to pause the video to comment. The Formula 1 comment: "means its more reliable, wait that's not right," had me in stitches. I laughed out loud for a solid 15 seconds. I don't know why that was so funny other than you completely caught me off guard. I'm just glad I wasn't sipping my coffee at the time. Thanks =)

@@RefianS true the especially since you have to so much fab work to get the k20c1 to fit properly
Some incredible numbers for FWD! I don't even understand how it's so close on acceleration, and even faster in the quarter. The weight advantage doesn't seem big enough
The answer is simple: VTEC kicked in yo!
It dosnt have vtec on intake
FWD has less drivetrain losses so it puts down most of its power so its whp is not that far off from the more powerful AWD competitors.
@@Kh501pr it dose have less drivetrain loss but dose not put down most of its power the tyre r is at the peak or what fwd can handle and get round a track when u start hitting big numbers they are only good for straight line and even then its hard to get them moving
Size of wheels my friend smaller wheels= less rotating mass.
Nice video! You should do more videos like this one with other great engines
CONGRATULATIONS!!!! THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR HARD WORK, DEDICATION, AND TIME FOR THE SPORT. THANK YOU FOR ENGINEERING A MODERN ENGINE FOR THE MODERN WORLD. I LOVE IT AND THE FANS LOVE IT. THE AFTERMARKET INDUSTRY LOVES IT AS WELL. THAT MOTOR IS PERFECT FOR ANY DRIFT CAR!!!!
Honda, please throw this engine in a rwd platform. 2 seater in the Honda line and a 4 seater coupe in the Acura line (for the taller folks).

ZERO REGRETS (because race car)
@ZIONISM IS THE NEW WORLD ORDER way better haha. WRX can handle for sure but type r is on a whole new level.
WRX is feels more torque at low speeds but CTR def more at higher speeds. WRX has the awd and safer wheel and tires for daily-ing.
Other than that CTR is way better. Handling, shifter, power, and so much more fun. I even have fun going slow(the speed limit). Just a fun car. Like a go-cart.
@ZIONISM IS THE NEW WORLD ORDER
CTR the most fun i had in a car. Just set money aside for separate set of wheel and tires.

Haters will stay say it’s just a Honda. Or it’s just FWD. Give credit where credit is due. 🤷🏻♂️
Agreed haha. I love the Focus RS, but I was pretty shocked Honda was faster around a track.
@@EngineeringExplained
Depends on the track.
Honda's Nurburgring time is bs. No way a Type R is faster than a 997 GT3 RS.
Car and Driver drove both during their lightning lap runs and both ended up with the same time.
There's also plenty comparisons on youtube where the Focus RS did a faster time.
I'll give plenty of credit, it's a great performing car, I'm not a fan of FWD, just a preference
You mean the same way import lovers DON'T give credit to the 6th gen Camaro ZL1 1LE that destroy 6 figure supercars and does it without AWD and without an auto?
It's not that it's a Honda. Honda makes great cars... Just it's like 40 grand after taxes... Which is ABSURD for just a fast Civic. There are alot of normal cars that can probably put down better lap times for the same price. And if they do t out down better lap times, it's gonna be more reliable, efficient and just a better car.
Amazing video! Thank you!
I own the 2019 Accord 2.0T 6MT; I opted for the Accord because of its calmer looks and more touring-style drive vs brutal track attack car. I know the 2.0T is tamed down in the Accord but it's still a rocker and blast to drive. The transmission is also the same as the one in Type R, just different gear ratios, etc. Bonus is it's $5K cheaper too than the Type R (not a deciding factor but still nice).
Great video. I just got my Accord Type R 2.5T. I love the 372HP and 365ft-lbs of torque.
Jason, continued good work with your videos. I've been looking at the Type R for a while to replace my '02 WRX that I bought new ($26K). Own a '91 NSX , doesn't rev as high as your S2K but 8K isn't bad for a car that was built almost 28 years ago. Hoping the '19 R styling is a little less extravagant and the dealers stop jacking up the price.
Lol Honda’s reliability is actually fairly decent in F1... how times change eh?
Thanks to their partnership with McLaren
@@braydenbrooks1009 honda doesn't need McLaren for reliability.. they make the most and best engines out there. If anything McLaren needs honda.

My 8 year old son thinks it's awesome. By the time he is legal to drive, people won't be driving their own cars any more.
the front is nice the back looks like the ass of a rhino
It's a definite cop magnet.
It looks awesome guys n girls.
Garreth Wilcock Hopefully by the time your son is old enough to drive the Honda dealerships will be selling the Type R for MSRP
very well explained and detailed video thank you!
I bought one of these and in comfort mode on a motorway run I get 40mpg easy. Even got 45 mpg once. Remarkable engine. (note not US gallons)
That is amazing mpg. I used to brag about my Honda Fit getting over 50 mpg, but most of those miles were on the highway.
I've owned an Acura RSX-S, with the almighty K20. Changed the oil, every 5000 miles, along with all the fluids religiously. At 200,000 miles I lost the car in an accident. It NEVER gave me a single problem. I redlined that car to 8100 r.p.m.'s, like a mad man. As much stress at that engine was given, I never once had to adjust the valves. Now that I own an Accord V6 coupe with the 6-speed manual, everyone is saying a valve adjustment may be warranted. I've never heard of anyone doing valve tuning even when the car was brought to the stealership.
Secondly, what type of turbo does the Type-R and who makes it? Is it a twin scroll made my Mitsubishi?
It's likely a mitsubishi turbo, that's what they've used in other turbo applications (RDX)
I never should have sold my RSX-s
I had mine done at 120,000. It's a safe bet to just keep a car running at it's best.
I’ve had my 2006 RSX-S converted to Type R for 8 years now and I’m planning to keep it forever.
Honda's typically have there exhaust valves tighten slowly over time. Not adjusting them usually leads to a burnt valve.

It is efficient and practical, but not as fun. Even if you dont slide your rwd car. Feel is quite a bit different. That said, the fact that it’s fwd doesn’t bother me. The exterior kills it for me.
Fwd might be practical but so is rwd.
I won't lie. After going to rwd V8 I will never go back to FWD. It gets me lots of tickets it's so much fun. All winter is the most wonderful time of the year.
I would love to own a Type R, but I just can't get beyond the styling. It's just too extreme for me.
griffojm Import an EK9 Type R ;)
I agree, I think they should offer this in a gimmicks removed version without the faker vents, plastic and extreme wings.......
@@geoffrey2452 I will need something to replace my aging 2004 Acura TSX. If they offer a version as you describe, they will have me as a buyer!
Yah me too. imagine if you put the type r engine into the better looking civic si.....
@@geoffrey2452 Those wings ect actually work amd its been proven. Sure to and from the shops its pointless but lets all be honest, were not all law abiding behind the wheel when looking at performance cars.
The presentation of this video is 100% stunning. You should start up your own engineering academy
The other car was an Accord.
1982 Hatchback with 5 speed.
1.8 ltr 4 non turbo.
What a smooth little power plant.
I was a young guy in my 20's when I bought this car.
Great car!
Honda is my favorite performance sedan/hatch manufacturer. Great power pricing ergonomics and sensibility
6:25 different between accord's engine , finally !!! thanks
Even the wikipedia page will tell you this
Word, but you can buy the flash pro from the dealer
Noor Mohammed so what if you flash it did you not watch the video? A reflash does not automatically make it a better engine or more suited for driving on the limit...smh.
@@dlombana161 see thats where you dont understand my point. Only reason ill do that is for the track which i mean by drag racing.
Didn't know how interesting this was until you did a video about it.
I really don't' know what car I can buy after the Type R (never selling my Type R), but considering what car to buy next as a second car. The bar is set so high with the Type R that I don't want to be disappointed, I feel like driving anything else would be boring.
Hey. Thank you for the video. I’d like to see the same type of video about 1.5 Civic Si compared to regular Civic. Thanks again
need this
Honda is doing it right!! But, who is surprised?? They are the masters of the smaller displacement engine... This was a fun video to watch!! Merci
this is brilliant stuff. thanks!
Thank you. Will you be doing this type of video for the 2020 Corvette in the future?
Don't let this distract you from the fact that Hector is gonna be running 3 Honda Civic's with spoon engines. On top of that he just came into Harry's and ordered 3 t66 turbo's with NOS's and a Motec System Exhaust.
never got why hector had three cars and three turbos, and one exhaust🤔
I’ve found that people who dis on the track proven Honda FWD configuration are the type to wrap their RWD cars around light poles in parking lots much. The point is, if you can’t drive to 7/10ths the limit of any car, you have no right to say which configuration is better. The FD2 type-r civics were faster around Suzuka then the S2000 and the NSX . It also made less horsepower. Now, we have a 300hp civic with an even better suspension and aero package.
Smart comment👍
'aero package'... that's one way to excuse that eye sore... lol
FWD rule the race track . The future is here the current engineering for FWD is showing just that , it was just a matter of time
grow up kid. Fwd cars are for pubescent teens.
@@deeplyclosetedindividual function over form
Accord 1.5L is my first Turbo and I love it. Certainly Honda is on to something here with decent power and amazing fuel economy.
I used to own an 09 civic si and also had a 98 del sol with the si motor back in the day. I think it would be hilarious to run one of these civics against my wife's SHO. SHO's have been clocked at 5.0 sec 0-60 , and 14.1 quarter mile in stock form. The grocery getter pulls pretty hard on the top end, it's not slow at all for a big heavy car. From about 65-70 mph roll to about 110-115 she's still pouring the coal, so 140-145 feels very attainable but we've never run it that fast.
I love the type r I just wish they would make a more subtle looking package that performs the same. Remember sleepers?
The only thing they did wrong with the Type-R engine is not having it in the Coupe.
Or putting it in a Golf R for middle aged men who can afford to buy them but don't want to look like 17 year olds who have just stolen a car
Or if you want insurance rates that reflect the actual value of the car (though I plan on buy a Civic Si 2dr 1.5T for fuel economy).
Or making the hatchback 5 door smh 🤦♂️
@Garreth Wilcock ..wish the type r came with a deboyracer option to make it look like a civic sport hatch. The sti has an option to delete the ironing board I mean real spoiler
@@garrethwilcock8420 But I am a 17 year old who stole it
I've owned two Hondas way back in the early 80's.
I owned the 1st CRX Civic.
1.5ltr 4
No turbo but it was quick.
Rated @ 76hp in 1984.
With a 5 speed it was a pleasure to drive.
Fast and economical.
Thank You for the info Brotha 👍👍👍
Never heard anything but honda engines are the best from any mechanic or engineer.
Because it's true
Unfortunately they have had shitty transmissions
Shitty transmissions? You've never driven a manual Honda. Go drive an S2000 and get back to me.
@@khargan27 Nothing wrong with their automatics either. My point still stands.
Actually honda transmissions are plenty reliable, which is why people use the term “shift it like its a honda” because they can just slam shift it and it wouldnt die. Its the Honda oddysey from the 90’s that had a bad tranny and had to recall almost all of them because of it
Can you PLEASE do a video on the base 2.0 N/A engine? K20C2
I wonder how much different the base engine is regarding to the internals..?
I can’t imagine it being that much more different since the base engine is a 2 L the type R would be cost-effective to build off the same assembly-line.
Great videos as always!
you video made my mind into buying a Civic Type R and end result is, THANK YOU.
@Geoff Finnigan I was also looking for an RS, but opted for the Honda, no regrets, although I haven't driven an RS yet, maybe if I do I'll change my mind
@Geoff Finnigan sounds like a plan! :)
I don't like much these things, but THANKs for useful information.
I work for a Honda dealership. If you are looking for a comfortable street var that looks good, it does not cost much to make the accord faster then the type r and you get all the luxury of a high trim accord (which is comparable to most luxury cars in quality and amenities).
The cost is pretty comparable as well. The accord is more, but you are also paying for that luxury instead of that "racecar" feel. Type R's are nice. I would love one, but if you want a fast, comfortable street car, the accord wins in my book. Type R wins on the track.
The Accord is best in the high 20's low 30's after that point there are so many better sedan options.
If honda made it rear wheel drive they would sell a alot. Like literally.
Then it won't be called a 'Civic'.
Na.. Your average donut can't drive rear wheel drive...
Shakeel then you would loose all of its advantages.
Honda prelude reboot with a turbocharged 4 or na 6 RWD? Please? Willing to beg here
If I don't live in a place that snows, I'd happily get this FWD type R. but because snow drifting hooning... I refuse anything that does not send power to the rear.
More of these engine videos pls 👏
Great video backed up by data.
Honda is a brilliant company always suprised us.They are taking risks and always had their own way of making cars
They dont give technology and they dont take from anyone the only company that is doing that
Always respect the buyers reliable and honest.
If honda does not race their is no honda
Of course Honda's 4 Destroys everyone else...and it will last. What else did you expect?
Except for the engine in the Mercedes A45 AMG.
@@toddstevens8506 This engine is from 2015 LOL. I dont think the new A45 is.....
@@toddstevens8506 lol and the Mercedes will break while the honda will spin and spin for years to come
@@sharmilanraj 2019
@@justinmartin4841 Nonsense, the M139 has been boosted well beyond stock and hasn't suffered reliabllity issues, unlike the Civic R's transmission for example.
Hondas engines are just amazing the technology reliability its so cool to see them squeeze good hp out of a small engine
Thanks , brilliantly explained
