152 hp... supposedly dynos at 125-130 whp on the rollers, which is terrific for an AT car. (mine dynos at 132-137... still going to confirm when I get my mods done).

Lacks a little torque, but really lively once you get it revving. Love the paddle shifters, as they'll let you do things most manumatics won't.

K20A3? still? it should've been the true K20A (type r) by this time right? i don't know why HCP doesn't want to bring in the true blue K20A or at least the K20Z3 (Si)

[STOCK_BOY]

What is the difference between the K20A and K20A3 ? From the pictures they look the same. Is it tuning ? They are both 2.0 liter engines with almost the same parts. Or is it just the ECU ?

I am still experimenting with the paddle shifters cuz i am still heavily dependent on the the shift indicator found at the lower display. One fundamental flaw was they did not put the shift indicator on the upper display where it is much much easy to look at if you want to keep your eyes on the road.

[HyBrideVo]

It's not just the ECU and Tuning differs the K20A VS. K20A3.

If that is the JDM civic engine (non type r) then it is a K20Z2 it's the same as the K20A3 where the ivtec system is "only" on the "intake" cam and functions as a 12 valve engine when on low rpm mode and opening only one intake valve so that the air swirls for better combustion. The ivtec system on this engine is dedicated to fuel economy in mind. Unlike the K20A/A2/Z1/Z3/ the ivtec system allows the motor to run in 16 valve mode all the time and when it engages, its on both the intake and exhaust rockers, and opens all 4 valves even more at high RPM.

Which one of these K20 models are deployed here in the Philippines ?

[STOCK_BOY]

More of the K20 shots .... closeup versions.

K20z2/k20a3

and some of the support components of the K20 ....

[STOCK_BOY]

This is supposed to be a forward cabin configuration wherein half of the engine bay is covered by the cabin's dashboard. The same configuration with my Chevrolet Venture (weekend Family Van) . Now how do they manage to repair the other side of the engine ???

[HyBrideVo]

they place the vehicle on a lift

Got bored in traffic so i decided to do some phone camera capture of the paddle shifters;

e1.jpg - Full view in front , down shift switch on the left, upshift shift on the right.

e2.jpg - Rear View of the steering wheel

e3.jpg - Close up of the [+] paddle shift. Paano kung kaliwete ka ?

More shots of a traffic bored driver;

f1.jpg - Driver's view of the instrumentation. Notice how i positioned the steering wheel between the upper display and the lower instrumentation panel

f2.jpg - Closeup of the Instrumentation panel (Car still in Automatic Mode)

f3.jpg - Manual Shift paddle mode. Currently at 2nd Gear attempting to accelarate maintaining 2nd gear setting using the spaces in front of me on a 30km/h traffic!

f4.jpg - Decided to Gas-in near red line at 2nd gear Manual Mode. I did this
with right hand holding the phone and roughly 50 meters of space in front of me for accelaration and disk brake slowdown. I peaked at 101km keeping it at 2nd gear leaving enough space to slowdown to normal traffic speed of 30-40km/h hehehe. ABS kicked-in! Scary!

More PhoneCam shots;

g0.jpg - Shifter set to Sports Mode
g1.jpg - Another attempt to do a redline run on 2nd gear. This time engine ecu rev limiter kicked in. Car was running at 118km/h (2nd gear rev limit speed).
