This motor is bulletproof. My 2010 Civic has almost 400,000 miles on it. And I just drove it from Orlando Florida to North Georgia a few days ago with ease. She's a beast!. Super fun to drive too. With proper maintenance these things can run forever. It's been the most reliable car I've ever had in my life so far.

I'm a Honda tech. I have two 8th gens with r18. Also an 8th gen si and an FK8 type r. The r18 in my opinion is the most reliable 4 banger ever made. Impressive. Got 300+k on one and never once had an engine problem.

Dude this thing was fast for no reason I beat so many people at my highschool with this 8th gen Sedan I had, it was also such a reliable and easy to learn engine,it’s perfect for a first car

215 000 km now, this engine is amazing full tank is 700 KM,,, 8th generation of civic from South Africa

I also have a gen 8 civic with this engine. And it actually surprises with its fuel economy and it seems to be indestructable.

This is one under rated engine straight f****** bulletproof with regular maintenance bought mine with 185k and now I have 220k

Had to research since we are getting a Civic 1.8 e. Same engine as shown in the video. Didn’t know about it till now. Great info

To people saying you "don't feel VTEC" on an R18 that's not true. But the thing is that it's actually in reverse. Once the engine hits 3000rpm, it goes out of I-VTEC and switches to the regular cams, you instantly feel a switch.

I love my Civic's R18A2 engine. It's pretty much like motorcycle engine. You need to use full range of rpms to have fun.

My 07 1.8 civic gets as good mpg as my hybrid. Love the R18!

291k miles on my civic and it still running 💪

Just bought a 2013 Civic with a good old R18 and the 5 speed MANUAL transmission, I like it! The car is fun to drive, it's pretty fast for 140 HP and got amazing fuel economy. Averaging ~5.6 liters/100 km (41-42 MPG) mostly highway and country road but still super efficient in city too. I do ~750 km on a full tank and still have 8 liters or more when i fill up with regular gas.

Exellent and revolutionary engine!

Just got a 2011 Honda Civic the engine runs good I'm going to fix it up soon so it is time for fully for engine clean and I will be doing that very soon and transmission thanks honda

315k on my 08 r18 now, had one before with 340k both bullet proof

My r18 sedan 2010 model has 320k miles and runs fantastic still I love it

This video always gives me goosebumps. Love this film!

I once had a 2006 civic 1.8 and the timing chain snapped, luckily we were still in warranty but it was a huge surprise. It had a full service history and 42k miles, I can only imagine the use it has was very short journeys but it went back to honda and they couldnt fix it in warranty so we got a full refund. I stumbled across this video because I want to try the same car/engine again and hope I dont get another bad one.

I own one . 2013 civicbase model . Exellent car, Ran MF exhaust , K& N intake on mine(with a Hondata tune) and it's even peppier. Keeps up with stock 2.4 SIs of the same generation ALL DAY.

i have a 2015 civic ex - L with the r18 1.8L i-vtec with cvt. VERY fun car! i keep it in s when driving and its gets up and goes when driving around town VERY well. im always surprised at how fast it gets up to speed o.O

140 nm torque at about 1800 rpm, that's a very torquey gasoline engine. I've never driven a civic, but I can imagine it's a very usable powerband for everyday driving.

I Love my Honda Del Sol... Hondas have Awesome engines! The are so smooth and fun to drive!!!

Honda une jour,honda toujours!!

The first smart engine with sports mode.

One of the best engine Honda ever made. Will run forever if you take good care of it,

Honda thank you for making the Revolutionary R18!

Nearly a quarter million miles on mine with no oil burn and looks clean as a whistle inside the valve cover. I've done nothing to this engine but change the VTEC gasket because it was seeping at 200k.

My 2010 Civic sedan is awesome car with this engine great mpg. Only issue is low torque but u get used to it.

i love mine. really likes to breathe, drive hard and everything. wish i got a stick, might swap one in :)

Just both 1.8iVtec Civic type S 2008. With near perfect engine and transmission at 256000km on the clock! Ride feels perfect. New springs and clutch, but everything elese works like charm. Especially on 6000+rpm ;) Great job Honda engineers

@HotHeadCJ the R18 actually has a lot of similarities to the B and K series motors as far as dimensions and ignition systems are concerned; however, the R series motors were developed with economy and durability as the #1 priority, whereas the B and K series are "performance oriented" motors. Nevertheless, as with other Honda SOHC motors, R series motors are excellent candidates for TURBOCHARGING!! Full Race and other manufacturers have developed bolt-on turbo kits, and are having much success!

i'm trying to love my R18. i really am.

Where did you get this animation? Or where can I find engineering files(solid works assembly etc ) for this engine?

One of the greatest engines ever created.

Grandes motores feito para durar pra toda vida

I love learning more about my 2008 Honda Civic. I'm one the lucky ones that got a 5-speed manual transmission.

My D15Y2 engine in my 2004 middle east version civic blew up at 430K Km it served me well so my mechanic decided to drop this engine in the car I hope it'll be better he already did the swap and said that he's way happier with it hopefully I feel the difference

I have 06 civic coupe and I love the style and great economy on gas.

156 000 miles still beast!

The oil pan is smaller. Be carefull with the level. I bought a FK1 with the engine totally seized(knock knock also) bad maintenance. Swap to another and doing an average of 35 usmpg with i-shift.

Wonderful video. Thank you.

Honda putting the cats under the hood long before cat theft was an epidemic. Baller.

Got the 2015 ex coupe standard. Gonna start modding soon.

Trippy + voice wants to sound epic

I have a 2014 coupe 1.8 liter civic love it nice power & handling kick ass mpg. love the cvt just hope it will last as long the engine.

Do they have a video for the R20 ?

165miles and still going strong 🤞

Destroke, more comp and put in a proper chassis like ED/EF CRX you get great milage and performance. I wonder if it could beat an oldschool 1.3 eco-vtec frankenstein. wich i'd assume to be less then 4,5 l/100km

I’m at 378,000 and it still Rips

Civic is the great car with this engine.The best engine in the world.I have civic 1.8 16v vtec

I think when the Headercat and Egr is removed the Engine runs very well.

Works well even with AWD

Cuŕrently at 229413km with this engine. Feels brand new hitherto

If you R series owners are curious, I have done my research (for those who haven't done enough research" Honda says that R series Vtec works completely different. It works only around 1500-3000 rpm for economy. It says that the traditional VTEC kick will not be heard and felt unlike those in the previous Honda engines. R series is for economy not power. Yes it has vtec but not like the older version where it is set at a certain rpm range at high output. I've done a lot of hard accelerations and flooring it and got curious cause i dont hear the vtec until i did my research. It's good I can get 11 km per liter . If I floor alot, it can get as low as 9km per liter.. highways can get you 14 km per liter.

Lol watchin this after mine started knockin 🔥🔥🔥

These earlier r18 is no good I Own a 2006 civic block cracked and kept loosing coolant eventually caused a head gasket failure. And I’m not the only one that’s had this issue

I want to put a turbo on mine but the kits are very expensive.

2:13 banger alert!

1350000 still swinging well!!!

Well, explained.

is there a way to remove this trans and put either a six spd manual or auto must be 6 spd tho

Please respond , did my 2007 dxg civic sedan r18a1 vtec technologie in.?? Thks

This was glorious

yes it has vtech in it

2012 Civic 1.8...... 80K miles. I will die first before my car

Nice engine

When vtec engagement in r18a?

Does the Honda Civic 2012 1.8 liter engine have direct injection?

Love my 07 Ex coupe but my car shuts off when I accelerate from a stop anyone may know why?

228000 проблем нет! Полет отличный!)

This Engine Safe Energy

7:38 Have you stolen the menu music from gran turismo?

It’s all fun and games till the block cracks

Got a accord euro 04 2.4 i vtec i can feel the torque in the hills haha but only running on 156kw tho soon to do more

06 Civics (non-Si) till now are Vtec.

My transmission went before the r18 engine 🤙🏼

Power engine

Does the 2019 hrv 1.8 ivtec have direct injection? I hope not. And how do the cvt hold up if u baby it and change oil every 30k miles?

So there is no real VTEC in this engine like it used to be? Or did I miss something?. I have honda with this engine and I never had VTEC kicking in. Kinda sad.

Question can this engine used in a Honda torneo 1999???????

My honda has 250000 kms with no issues. Just o2 sensor

Sounds like it’s the best engine ever made. Why have they gotten rid of it?

But am i the only one noticing that this engine has been pushed around since 2006, 2006-2015 C'mon Honda give us an R18 with DOHC and direct injection with Vtec around 5500 RPMs, Turbocharge and watercooled exhausts manifold like the 2016 new turbocharge engine. WOOT WOOT that would be beast!! WOW i just had this thought maybe there making a new R18 for the 2016 Honda civic type-R, The same R series engine but as a 2.0l. The all new R20!!

just reached 350k (KM) with my 2008 1.8 Type S: Some plastic parts are falling apart but the engine seems to be non-destructable

Why single cam.

Super engine, untill you have a problem like screw snap inside alluminium block like I had during el. starter service. Now I have problems with it. Why do you use only 2 screws for starter, and why do you use short thread step screws so that they easily cement/jam in to alluminium? Because of that now complete engine must go out of car and sent to precision machinery to take this shit out and re-thread hole, it will not be cheap.

So, I have the Honda Civic 10' LX 1.8L (Engine shown in video. Fill free to correct me if I'm wrong. Does it drive better at 3500 - 4000+ Rpms or 4000 and below? Ever since I bought mine, it always took off a bit slower but 2nd gear at about 3000 to 4000 it's behind the car it that was in front of it at the light.

Honda 0W20 Type 2.0 !

how does the r18 compare to other honda engines, specifically the B and K series?

cracked engine block

💪

Isn't this engine in the Honda Stream as well people because I'm definitely just wondering if it is or not so if someone else could definitely answer my question right now that would be really helpful to myself here everyone else

Did my 2007 dx-g civic sedan is vtec .?

Can i use 5w40 some use it for better performance

still chasing the B18c is see! ;)

HONDA BEST CARS AND MOTORCAYKL !!!

Vtec cam in R engine activated between 1 - 3.5K rpm. Other than that, normal high performance cam During vtec activate, the lifting of an intake valve reduced while timing of another intake valve prolonged. Both to activate Atkinson cycle motor To activate vtec, need certain conditions for ecu to give feedback. Basically not all the time that vtec should activate. U need to cruise or give low load for this engine to give you good mileage Between 3.5K until 5K rpm, the max torque achieved with long intake manifold. at higher than 5.2K rpm, short intake manifold take over to give high hp. But cannot match traditional NA Vtec high rpm power, unless forced induction (i guess) If you used to push your engine hard, then the ecu will always give you power which is quite fast for an 1.8 NA angine. just install electrical grounding equipment, surely you can feel the R18 power

Best bang for bucks!!!!! U will never get same mpg and power with similar ones!!!!! Cos this r18 doing 0-60mph=7.6sec 1\4 mile=15.8 AND HIGHWAY MPG OVER 45!!!!!
