Honda R engine

[HappyGilmore]

I am curious as to why no one has played with this engine at all. I see K and everything else but the R engine looks like it would have some potential. I see that it is the SOHC of the K and was wondering why it isn't used for mods. Discuss.

Seen at least one turbo R on 8thcivic

I had to do a serch and find out what your talking about.
I didnt know that the base motor was an R series.
Hmmm...SOHC Hondas have always loved boost.

Yea the exhaust port (no S there) is an awesome hookup for a snail. There is one company that produces a turbo kit for it for around $2700. My 2012 Civic is pretty damn quick and runs almost next to a stock RSX type s. But now it skips and may have to lemon it out here soon.....

The R is essentially the new D. Overlooked for the K, just as the D was overlooked for the B.


And it's not that SOHC hondas love boost... it's just that SOHC Honda engines are generally cheaper to replace when you blow them up.

That and the fact that they tend to take so much time, effort and money to make any power N/A. it's just so much easier to go with a snail build.

Be perfect for a s2k swap lol, look at that clutch pack.

Exactly. Bisi has shown that the F22A is capable of making N/A power similar to that of the H22A when both are fully built. However, an H22A with basic bolt-on mods will make WAY more power than a similarly modified F22A... which is why stock-block F22A boost projects were so popular (sadly, the old cast internals don't care much for boost anymore...)
