It’s should be the same engine, r18a1, unless JDM spec is different than USDM. I asked a few mechanics for input and cost. Interestingly one of them noted that I also need to...

    Basicly I been getting check engine lights on my civic error codes P0455-P0456; EVAP system (Very) large leak detected/EVAP system VERY small leak detected. I already changed the valve assembly purge control solenoid and still got a check engine light. So I am suspecting I need to change the...

    I swear. I’ve had 3 R18s now, every one had an oil leak, and it’s always been from the VTEC solenoid. But with my current R18, it’s leaking again. This time, from another area. It looks like it’s coming from the top of the engine. I thought it could be the valve cover gasket, or the newly...

    2008 EX coupe So I noticed some oil left on the driveway, and I noticed some spots of fresh oil drips and trails at the passenger rear of the engine near the lower torque strut mount: Anyone have any ideas what it could be? I’m going to keep looking for it myself, but any suggestions would...

    So I have been thinking of just supercharging my k20z3 but I am not sure which route would be cheaper. Building the k20 or just straight swapping the k24a2 in there and calling it a day. Thoughts?

    Hey there, hope I'm posting in the right place. I got a P1009 code a bit ago, and then it went away a week later after not driving it. I think it might have just been an oil clog or something, but my vtc is rattling on cold starts so I decided to clean the strainer and solenoid anyways. Strainer...

    I have a 08 Civic coupe LX r18 Manual transmission. I noticed a ticking in what seemed what to be coming from the right side of my engine bay. The ticking only happens when accelerating if my foot isn’t on the gas no ticking. After a few months it has some loss of power but the sound is...

    Title says it all. My 06 Civic DX has a idle misfire and I cannot pin it down. I've changed plugs, coils, and injectors. The only thing that I think it may be is maybe carbon buildup on the cylinder that is misfiring. Thoughts?

    This might seem like a dumb question, but I can't seem to find an answer. What series of k-20 does my 2006 civic si have? Is there an under-hood badge I can find that will tell me exactly? Thanks guys, Lunchbox

    Out of curiosity, I wanted to know if there was a possibility my engine was replaced. I searched that there is a serial code on the engine block that correlates to your car's vin. I looked on the carfax and there was nothing. I also heard stories where the engine was replaced but did not show up...
