Civic hatch k20 vs supra 400 whp!

[@XCALLYCOOX]

Well... here it is. The video that got me into Hondas! 13/14 year old me read a comment on another video saying “you will never beat the sound of the Honda VTEC engine”. So I searched up “Honda VTEC” and this come up. I’m now 24 and own a Honda Civic Type R EP3 (05 plate) with a K20! Thank you very much for this video!

[@StraightOutThaGudda4U]

This video is so legendary 😂 I remember when I was 18 years old and i saw this video and it's what got me into loving Hondas, I was like yooooo, this thing is crazy 😂 I'm 28 years old now, still don't own a Honda because of how hard life is where I live but I'm still going for one. There's another video of this same car beating others cars including a VVL swap sentra. Congrats on owning a ep3 type r man, I love those things, take good care of it 😎

Mmm where to start- 2jz, rb26, ej25, s54b32, vr6, n55, rs3 DAZA O, just to name a few without getting to the v8, v10’s, and v12’s. Honda’s are cool too though- twin turbo s2000 f20c sounds incredible, along with the h22A. but definitely aren’t the best sounding imo, which is subjective.

[@fasthonda]

The Supra was catching up pretty good in the end. The gutted K20 Civic (2000 lbs)weighs about 1600 lbs less than the Supra (3600 lbs), so don't feel so bad that 400whp didn't keep up. After all, that's only roughly 150whp more than the Civic, which isn't that much considering how much the Supra weighs. The torque is what brought the Supra back in the end. The 2JZ-GTE is no doubt awesome, but you have to keep in mind that the K20A is awesome too.

I'm not one for straight line racing but the Civic is ahead of the Supra for a good 20 seconds. Considering a decent 1/4 mile would be done before 13 sec, that naturally aspirated Civic has more than enough. Also, the Firebird at the end reminds me of why I've put together a stock K20Z3 Del Sol (going to K24A2 this summer).

[@MiGzTheGamer]

[@MixQuisite]

The reason the rpm doesn't drop between shifts is he is POWER SHIFTING. You can gain maximum torque power to the wheels by not lifting off of the gas pedal in between shifts. This works best in turbo cars at the track if you are accurate and quick through the shift. This method keeps the engine in its RPM power band. & If you miss then BOOM goes your engine the pistons and valves fighting for space.

[@Rusko1DUB]

celica didnt have any sound if is not gt4, i think any 4cylinder n/a engine with that exhaust and rpm will sound aprox the same ...if you did not like it , it not means is bad......... for sport engine the sound is not principal , if it sound weird it not means that engine is slow or have bad mileage, resurces etc ........... sound it just sound it is not influence on speed of car if you want super sound buy amg m5v10 lfa srt.... wich cost a lot! more than a civic with b series.....and yes i think a civic is sport car like vw gti , lancia integrale 8v (fwd), mazda mps....

[@garethpepperell594]

ytb owner It depends as my celica sounds deep, yet a corsa around the corner from me sounds high pitch and sounds like a drill. Yes i know a big exhaust has no affect on speed or performance, but i wanted it for sound, i like the sound, simple as lol.

well. the supra is twice the weight.. stock is 280hp with the 2jz and TT. supra still weights about 4000lb. for 400hp is just 1/10 of the wieght. plus the civic has no interior. they cuted more weight. the civic weights like a rice. is actually motor with wheels. they mod it to give a lot of RPM. and HP on civic is unknown. to power the ricer. 300hp is enough. for a 1000lb car. the supra needs more HP since is heavier.. ricers r shit anyways. doesnt compare to heavey weight cars. add few pounds to make it 1/10 power to weight as the supra.

Oh, and by the way, VTEC actually does something. To some people, it's a ricer thing to talk about, but it actually helps. Before tuning, my cars VTEC was at its stock points. You heard it switch over VERY noticeably. You would REALLY feel it too. You can actually feel that extra boost when it engages. Now my VTEC is smoothened out, and at 4200, and high boundary at 4500 RPM. Also, a well tuned motor can make power earlier than redline. I do. So who cares about what your Audi supposedly does?

[@PhamVans]

Nice build bruh, she sounds healthy.

[@petrolhead8851]

Damn I still remember when k20’s weren’t so popular back then or when people wouldn’t do them because they were expensive to swap, now they’re in every car, even Ferrari’s lol

[@joescivic]

Another thing is, there are many turbo B16's or B18's running high 13's with about 8-10lbs of boost, where just a bolt on k20 is running low 13's, and even high 12's. All with full interior, and in a coupe. So this guy may have a loud exhaust, but it makes more power than my Apexi which bottlenecks. His is 2.5" and could see another 10-12whp with a 3" exhaust after some tuning. Some people want more NA power, so they don't care how loud it is. They just go bigger, because K-series lies bigger

It's not gutted as much as you assume. And during the filming of these races, it was much heavier than it came with both of them in the car. He's using a JDM k20a with just a few bolt ons and no tuning. There are full interior coupes with USDM k20's and bolt ons running faster times than he did.

[@Yolinstrun4e182]

[@joescivic]

Stock k20a 220 crank hp. He has an intake, RCREW header, and buddyclub exhaust, with NO tuning, and dynod 203whp.As iv'e said already in the comments, if you could have read... 2330lbs from the factory, another 380+lbs for that driver and passenger. Another ~77lbs for gas. It's now ~2787lbs. Take a pound or 2 off for each rear panel. Then whatever the spare tire weighs. The rear seats aren't even 50lbs. But lets be generous and say he took 100lbs off. It's still heavy during this video

[@joescivic]

It's actually a Buddyclub full exhaust. Rest of the mods are just intake, and Rcrew header, and no tuning.

[@joescivic]

It was actually heavier than it came from the factory, during the filming of this video. 2330lbs plus another ~77lbs for gas, and another ~380lbs for that driver and passenger. Front interior is there. Rear seats don't even weigh 50lbs, then a spare tire, and the plastic panels in the back are like a pound or 2 each. Even full interior coupes with this motor, and even the USDM version and just bolt ons, run the same quarter mile times he did. Some faster. Again, with FULL interior, and a coupe

[@ghettobird2012]

That real shit. I know it's a old video but this guy should race hiboost AKI

[@joescivic]

Although this is the JDM k20a that comes with 220 to the crank, it can make 220-230whp with a bigger exhaust, better header and tuning. Even the USDM k20's with 200 crank HP can make 220-230whp with bolt ons and tuning. But a GSR will need cams, pistons, every bolt on possible to make that power. Possibly a ported head, since i've seen friends b20/GSR head being built and ported only making 220whp.

[@joescivic]

He went 13 flat in a quarter mile. He took it to the top of 5th which is ~131 MPH. And that's what I see in the video. ~130-ish. He lets of the gas, and it eases back down toward 120-ish when the camera is on the cluster.

[@joescivic]

My power difference from the EM1 with a k24a2 was that he made 217whp 184tq and I had 215whp 157tq.

[@XxdavonjordanxX]

[@joescivic]

Actually, yes, the size does change the sound. A 3" is louder. Yes, a resonator can change that up a tiny bit, but have the same vs the same, but a 3" vs a 2.5". The 2.5" will be quieter. But what you said seems a bit mixed up when trying to read it. " the car isnt finished yet but this is the exact exhaust that was on this very same motor which came out of a 2006 civic si and it sounded very good". What exhaust on what very same motor?
