That's a lot of power for an engine that small. Forgive me for this noobish question, but the thing I don't understand is that Honda gives this engine 197 hp stock and with aftermarket parts, it produces a lot more power. Why doesn't Honda put out a K20 engine with, say 230 BHP or 220?
They do. Its the k20a (Type-R). Its only available in Japan though. They don't have them in USDM hondas because our pump gas only goes up to 91 octane and the R-spec gets its extra power from higher compression which requires higher grade gas. You can get the same power with a USDM k20 with parts (header and cams) but honda can't make them like that because they can't meet emissions standards with those parts.

no no i havent done the k swap, I plan to is what I was saying, and my parts list added up to $10,000 because i picked the best of the best for a clean perfect swap, a basic k swap is supposed to cost around $6000
for anyone here interested in the k20 swap, here is some info, they are not difficult even easier than a b16 actually its just alot more work because everthing has to be changed over, but most of it is bolt in, the only downside is the pricetag, $10,000 for me
243hp seems like alot until you realize its a k20a that comes with 220 stock, now get k pro and boost 243 to 250hp, perfect for any crx, im getting a k20a in mine
Very nice swap, is the intake an AEM for a rsx?, also I plan to put a k20a in my rex aswell but the only thing im unsure of is the fuel lines/rail/and pressure regulator
can anyone tell me what kinda gauge cluster he has..i also like the carbon fiber face plate on it..someone please tell me where i could get one for my REX
*teamimportkiller*lol wow. and just wondering why are you talking shit about this car? if you dont like it dont bother commenting. cause no one wants to hear stupid comments. Im more of a muscle car guy, but i give this car props. these K20 CRX's can easily run 11's or 12's with little to no work to the motor appart from intake and exhaust and a chip. whats so bad about owning a honda? reliable, cheap insurance and a blast to drive on a twisty road. so stfu or learn to respect.
im sure it did, please every racer or any faster car knows honda's are slow bitch shut your face, if you dont have a 10 sec honda, then dont worry about it poor asshole..
anything can be fast if you dump alot of cash into it man. i can make a kia a 10 sec car too. to many people make all this claim but dont own a 10 sec car its funny
@TEAMIMPORTKILLER thats not the point, you said all honda are slow, you didnt say just civics are slow and you said nothing about cars that are not available to the public. i was just making the point that you obviously have no clue what you're talking about if you think all (keyword all) hondas are slow...
i dont recall honda making a super car ? what nsx lol please.. a real car. zr1 any newer zo6 viper saleen, should i go on? you cant compare f1 cars that honda has to any street car honda makes. honda only makes slow street cars.. yep i said it
@TEAMIMPORTKILLER lol tell me which american car in the 1990 did the nurburgring quicker than the nsx-r? lol just wait for the v10 9000rpm nsx and the zr1 would be outdated!
The zr-1 is already outdated with the GT-R spec V.
I love how people raved about the zr1 beating the baseline GT-R while failing to see that the corvette was completely maxed out at that point while the GT-R hadn't even been out long enough to have higher-spec trims.
@CasterTown People like me thought it was a joke, seeing as the z06 vette with the 7.0 ls7 can easily put up higher numbers with very little modification. Either way, anyone with an old ls1 or ls2 can replicate or exceed the zr1 power.
