FK8 Honda Civic Type R

[wpg81]

As a drop in engine it would dose look to be a good package. For a crx, eg, ek this swap would be awesome. For anything with a b16,b18,k20,k24 would be better developing the original engine. Especially in Australia we don't give these engine the credit that deserve! Price will be the main factor, if it is low cost it will be done a lot. Iam waiting to see a bigger like accord or crv engine in this earth dreams engine series as it could become the new k24. Cheap,easy to get and almost as good stock!!

(I) just out of interest what problems did you have with you dc5 turbo? What was the set up? I had a spark plug fail and damage Pistons on mine after about five years of boost. I now have rebuilt better and stronger but not cheap!!!!!,

I would love a fk8 swap into a dc2r
if only they sold just the engine

I'm sure Hasport will fabricate mounts in no time!

I blew a conrod after 15k kms..had a gt35r running 12 psi and 300kw atw all on stock internals
I should have built the motor

Honda wrote to me today advising dealers were accepting orders, does anyone have an idea of what the price is?

[felixR]

I've been seeing 50-55k on the road in random posts. Price is still to be confirmed though.
