Quick question for those in Phillipines... or Asia

[Stu_K]

To any of you who ever order aftermarket parts from the US...

I'm wondering cus i'm interested in getting the Greddy Ti-C cat back, but have been a bit hesitant to get one over here only to find out it does not fit.

Seeing as we have the same Civics here as you guys have there, can anyone who has tried this out give me a thumbsup to go for it?

Nevermind, just done a bit more research on it... future reference for anyone else who did not know and was wondering the same, see below:

I know someone from teamFD (member kasi ako doon - 8thgen civic owners (Team FD Official Website) who imported USDM headlights, tailights and bumpers. ang dali lang ng conversion.

kaya nga FD1/FD2 ang tawag sa mga JDM/ASEAN civics eh para hindi malito sa FD3S ng Mazda RX7

the difference also lies with the engine:

1. The R18 - (1.8liter 140hp i-Vtec engine) is available in all 3 civic variants.
2. The 2.2 i-CTDi turbodiesel engine (w/ 6speed manual or 5speed matic) is available only in europe.
3. The K20Z2 (2.0liter 155hp i-Vtec engine) is only available in the JDM civic FD1 (the 2.0 being sold here)
THIS IS DIFFERENT FROM
4. The K20Z3 (2.0liter 197hp i-Vtec engine) which is only available in the USDM FA5 SI sedan and FA2 SI coupe
THIS IS ALSO DIFFERENT FROM
5. The K20A (2.0liter 222hp i-Vtec engine) which is EXCLUSIVE only to the JDM Civic Type R (FD2)
FINALLY
6. The K20Z4 (2.0liter 198hp i-Vtec engine) which is EXCLUSIVE only to the EUDM Civic Type R (FN2 hatchback)


so in short, we get a VERY detuned engine that should be doing 220+ hp, but instead does 155hp... an engine that could rev to 8,500rpm, but instead revs to only 7,000rpm hahaha
