Naturally Aspirated Screamer - 300hp - 9K Civic Type R

TDi North have done it again, this time with an N/A "Kanjo inspired" K20 screamer.
Mohammed has had a long love affair with his Civic Type R (EP3)
After buying the car outright at 18 and developing the car over the years its now just about perfect for his requirements. Inspired by the Japanese kanjo racers with their screaming vtec motors Mo asked Neil at TDi North to build him a screaming K20 just like he'd seen on KZbin.
The motor is built to rev upto 11K rpm but they guys put a safety cap on the tune at 9K rpm and settled at just shy of 300hp
Check the video to see Mo's thoughts at his first track day since completion.

Manchester lad with a 300hp N/A motor AND he's a united fan? Think i've just found me new best mate!

[@herohonda92]

Thank you everyone for you comments Apologies for the accent I had a head cold which made me sound like a Yorkshire man that day There is actually more to come from this project not finished yet

[@apocx4290]

Any updates on the motor buddy? From the NW thinking popping in ITB's, is this something TDI north would fit/help with? Lovely car mate!

[@davidb8831]

herohonda92 You sounded very northern yep.

[@lordmas2099]

Awesome car i am not thinking of getting one as a daily :)

[@davidb8831]

How did you get those itb’s working right.

[@bennyblfc]

Awsome video

[@God-Almighty]

Had this man out to change my battery in my EP3 twice in Stockport through the AA. He really knows his stuff and his car is a monster !!!

[@TheForresterOD]

Someone get this man some vicks, a cup of bovril, and a trophy

[@Sponniezeex10]

Seems a top fella with a well thought out and developed car. Glad you didn't go turbo.

[@anthonyquattro584]

agreed, love naturally aspirated screamers

[@ivannevistic1368]

True wise words! im tired of turbo shit

[@robertlund5694]

Right !

[@Mr.Marbles]

yeah, especially when that is the special thing about it. putting turbos on these is like swapping a rotary for a piston engine. that just kills the whole character.

[@Kiret123]

init just!

[@dwaineskully6515]

Legendary Notorious B.I.G playing in the background... couldn't get more nostalgic than this..I love old school HONDAs.

[@86mystek]

in Polish language "MOC" on your registration plates means "POWER" :) "K20 POWER" boy!

[@AaronFrance]

86mystek I was gonna reply that!

[@Thraakull]

in Czech language it is “too much” or “power” and this Honda is surely powerful, I love i!

[@pabloviana8633]

Turbocharging it would destroy that marvelous sound. Awesome built! Ep3 type r's are gorgeous

[@seshelbow336]

But a Rotrex wouldnt

[@adrianmorgan1619]
