And this you might find interesting....

Not a Type R but same engine mounts no doubt.

That 2007 engine picture (first one) you can just make out a loom connector at the top of the trunking, looks like MAFS to me so theres
no chance the ECU being the same, the pulley set up looks similar if
not identical but there isnt much room under there

 

Thanks MB... really useful stuff.

Not much room in that bay is there... looks like a biatch of a job just to do the plugs!

 

The last pic is from Comptech who seem to have done one for the 07 Civic, albeit an Si model.

Some good info on there.

Looks like a total bastard to fit

Step 1 - Evacuate Air Con fluid
Step 2 - send ECU to Hondata
Step 3 - Drain coolant system
Step 10 - Remove throttle body
Step 12 - Remove manifold

Few days work there. On the plus side it appears to have no oil system or aftercooler?! Must be an oil bath.

Si is VTi/Type-R for RoW; it uses a similar K20.

There is also supercharged Jazz (Spoon or Mugen), which is very popular, if about as sensible as supercharging a genny.

Those are his choices. Spugen do K20 punn n' stuff for the JDM (FH?) Civic.

He's quite clearly mad, so I wish him best of luck.

 

Nick, if thats the case then Lloyd's problem is all but nearly solved.

Your key tasks are not to get in touch with Hondata and see if they will do a map for a UK spec car / fuel, and also to check the fitment of the SC package on a RHD car. It looks ok as most of the kit is up front - but I found the UK / US air con pipe routing was different and affected the fitting of the aftercooler, also alarm needed moving etc etc. I know this kit doesnt have AC but there may be something niggly that will trip you up.

Hondata's answer may well be no - but there are Hondata mappers in the UK. Comptech's answer will be "we havent done a RHD so we dont know" (Comptech are very helpful people though - but they just wont be able to tell you)

$4000 equates to about
