Fancy putting in the Civic Type R’s engine into your project car? Well, Honda Performance Development (HPD) has got you covered. Now on sale in North America, the Honda Civic Type R crate engine will soon be available to a wider audience beginning on May 1, 2021.
The Civic Type R’s engine has already been on sale since 2017, but it was exclusive to Honda Racing Line members and racing teams. For the first time ever, this crate engine is now open to anyone who wants to use it in their race car or off-highway applications. Unfortunately, this means you can’t use this engine for street applications, though this rule applies to North America.
Each crate engine will come with an engine long block, alternator, turbocharger, and starter motor. Included within the Controls Package will be an HPD-developed ECU, engine swap harness, and accelerator pedal. Developed with ease-of-use in mind, the HPD ECU will be pre-tuned for convenient installation into a wide range of vehicles designated for off-highway applications, providing customers with HPD’s proven reliability and enhanced performance in their own racing vehicles.
“We at HPD are proud to offer Honda power in an affordable and versatile package. Our K20C1 engines have won many races in club and professional series and is now available for a wide range of applications. The new limited-edition crate engine package is part of HPD’s strategy to leverage our pinnacle expertise for the benefit of Honda fans of all ages and motorsports categories”, John Whiteman, Manager, HPD Commercial Motorsports.
