Imagine the eg came out like this it would slap most cars factory. I feel like Honda made the engines and parts to fit in all chassis for this reason 😈

Alternately, instead of the k20a3 you can get the k20z2. The z2 head can be converted to a typer/rsx-s head later on bit by bit, while the a3 head will need to be replaced completely. They cost about the same so it's pretty much a no-brainer.

Such a sweet Civic. I love the color you went with. I knew a guy here in the states, and at that time he had the fastest front-wheel drive drag-racing Civic hatch on the East coast. He had a performance company called NRG-Tech. I think it was a 2 liter single huge turbo big slicks on the front and parachute. He was running high sevens in the quarter with it and this was at least 10 years ago. Wasn't a street car though, had a fuel cell.

Also will add a turbo once i have it running right and everything checks out. Gonna be sick driving my Prelude once its in! Gearbox wise i have a GZT5 from a '08 Accord Tourer. I`ll be deconstructing it soon and rebuilding it if it needs it, but i`ll replace the seals and add an LSD to it :P

Fun fact, we DID actually get the FD2R gearbox in australia, FN2R gearboxes share the same ratios and the same 5.06 F/D with late models having the LSD as well, the only difference is the FN2R boxes are stamped SPWM where as FD2R boxes are SPNM. I'm currently using an LSD FN2R box in my DC2R with a Hybrid racing no cut Z3 shifter and K tuned FD2R cables, awesome combo.

Fun fact 2, the shortest K series final drive actually came in the RE4 CRV which was 5.3. It's actually the same part that comes in the spoon 5.3 kit and will go into any K series box.

@AxleVest 2 жыл бұрын

@@harryx6968 I'd say it is! FN2 boxes are getting easier to find and wont be any more expensive than a DC5R, EP3R or CL7 gearbox. The one downside is it is still a bit of uncharted territory for the most part and I really struggled to find info on what bits to use etc and did a ton of cross referencing before I finally found a combo that worked best for my application. FD2R cables work a treat, both hybrid racing and K tuned do some, I beleive that these are the same cables used on 08+ civic Si's from the US and any shifter that uses the FD2R/ civic SI pattern will work too. dont use FN2R cables as I heard from a mate that they are just slightly too short. a cheap alternative is using CU2 accord shifter and cables, that will set you back around $200 total. The great thing about these options is it works with the factory gearbox cable stay. If you want it is possible to retrofit the old style selector onto the FN2 box but requires tapping a hole into the bellhousing so you can mount it, but then you have all the options for a DC5/EP3 for shifter and cables, but you may require a custom cable stay still Any other questions feel free to message to me
