If you want to build all motor k20c2 you can cut off the exhaust collector on the head mill it down, drill and tap for exhaust studs, and build a custom long tube equal length header, then you will have the flow with of the previous K20's but with direct injection, hitting 200whp easily with cams
chris martinez national speed in Wilmington NC.. its a custom tune. Honestly you just need to find someone that's really good at tuning and you'll get your numbers
My stock 9th gen si was rated at 205hp to the crank before sinking money into mods it was making 184whp. 176whp would be much closer to 200hp at the crank which is still very impressive considering these stock are 150
I’ve got a 2018 Honda Civic ex resonator delete and muffler delete Got a magna flow exhaust def a lot more fun to drive after the install. Considering adding a turbo in the future but I can’t find anyone one modding many 2.0L engines. Would def want some feedback on any mods you consider getting because parts are hard to come by for the 2018 can’t find turbos or cool air intakes.
A know a nonturbo 2.0L NA engine goes to 158 - 175HP max and that's not even modded yet. Imagine modding that thing with a new intake manifold, crank and pistons and actually putting a turbo with a perfect ratio compression... That civic would not dominate but it would be decently fast where you can have fun. Plus if it's manual ooof! more fun
Dillon Person i raced against 2015 challengers 2016 chargers sxt 2016 honda accord sport cadillac ats mbz c300 and all beat them on a roll 40mph and all i have is k&n air filter and catback exhuast system some do it yourself mods like strip out trunk thats about it left them all.
Dillon Person. The stock turbo civic lx hatchback is putting 183whp and 192wtrq on the same car with pretty much same wieght. More than this plus it comes with a bit better tires if your saying stock on tires. So this would lose.
Stock turbo ext is slow as fuck.... To be honest... I prefer this motor over the 1.5t way more fun... My si with the 1.5t is another story.... It's a different car
James Rath where did you get red cover for engine, also, where did you get your tuner, I’ve got my invidia installed and a AEM cold air intake, gonna do downpipe and tuner
@@logankenney7321 oh yea dude tuning it makes a huge difference. stock the lx has vtec set at 6100 i think which is close to redline. with a tune you can bump that up to kick in lower
I drive a 2019 civic sport coupe with a manual 6. I can't relate to the "eco" mode stuff, I have a button that disengages it and I drive to whatever shift point I want. When I am off warranty, I'm going to play a little bit with this modern CRX. (I had an 87 CRX Si when I was younger- a manual 5 that was a TON of fun). I understand this is essentially the only 2.0 naturally aspirated civic in the stable-essentially the same engine as the Type R with no turbo. I am experiencing times/power on par with the 158 bhp figure stated in the comments- So I'm pleased to see these passes at these numbers. I am wondering if you have any advice on where to look for a turbo/ecm flash/wastegate/downpipe/exhaust for this awesome little Honda? I've been busy raising my kids since my CRX, and this one may end up being my oldest daughter's car someday. Thanks to all in advance: I may begin making my own civic videos due to the fun factor of this car!
Having a k20c2 I can tell you that this engine is nothing like the type R. In fact the ecu on this car can’t be tuned to read boost on the k20c2. Don’t get me wrong I love this car and it’s engine but if boost is something you’re looking for then atm your SOL. Not only would the internals have to be forged but there’s the issue with the ecu not being able to be tuned for boost atm, injectors being too small and a few other things. This car is better kept stock or with a few bolt ons and a tune like they did here. Not saying you can’t turbo the engine for low boost like maybe 5-7 psi, but you just won’t be able to properly tune it. You’d have to go standalone, and at that point the rabbit hole is too deep and you’re better off buying an engine better fitted for boost or a whole other car entirely. Either way good luck and please do make videos of this project. I’m sure the k20c2 guys would love them including myself.
@@Chiefgamerzero couldn’t agree more. Mine’s going to stay looking stock, with a few subtle touches. The c2 will never be the c1. I kinda like that too. Maybe someday I’ll go with boost... but I’m happy with handling, braking, twisty corners, and the fun I have with actually hearing my exhaust open up on engagement of VTEC. It is a quick car I don’t want to be fast.
@@infinitibossauto yeah. The dyno tunes for this car are minimal gains. I have a 2021 6MT 1.5T and it ran 180 stock and was so much quicker than the NA 180 whp
Kuncen RIG yes. I have a 10th gen 2 liter n/a with a 6 speed. It only makes about 150ish hp, so not a fast car by any means But its really fun with a stick. Great commuter car
@@19Si92 this is the same car, I have one as well. My friend made over 200whp with one. It lasted 220k miles on a stock engine, racing, autocross, burnouts, constant abuse at 200whp
I also have a civic lx (2018) Hmmm this is strange because I did a full exhaust on mine, plus 2.5 inch mid pipe and a high flow catted down pipe. The cat back exhaust is 2 .25 . Here is what's strange though after leaving the tuner I was making 150 lb torque but only 163.8 whp. Basically same torque as u but u are making a lot more whp. Very strange where are you guys located. I live in Toronto Ontario Canada.
Zhao's Garage oh hell yeah dude! I have a k20c2 6mt with the castles Down pipe and I cant find anyone to tune it to make those number. They say it's not worth it
@@Locallybuiltauto 10th gen 1.5T has NO VTEC… What you described is true for the 2.0T K20C1 Type R engine. Also the 11th gen 1.5T I believe has VTEC too. But not the 10th gen motor…

Has this ever been done before? If so, please link me to video/article as it would be the most epic Honda mod ever!
the k20c2 is PGM-FI, not DI.
I think a K24a2 Block with the factory head will work better
You would probably make 200 whp if you upgrade the front pipe, since it tapers down to 50mm after the flex section.
what is the front pipe? the downpipe?
Aldo McGrath there is a downpipe that connects to the front pipe that has a flex piece on it and then it connects to your cat back exhaust.
Who’s doing the tune don’t know anyone whos tuning the 2.0 anywhere
chris martinez national speed in Wilmington NC.. its a custom tune. Honestly you just need to find someone that's really good at tuning and you'll get your numbers
People stuck with the sport
Damn this is nice. Not a fan of how the exhaust sounds, but thats a personal preference.
Congratulations, you now make the same power as the 2006 Si.
Yet the 2006 Si almost costs as much but haggard
that's what 10 years of improvement does. A base model making the same power as an older higher trim
I beat someone with an ep3 si and 10th gen accord sport in my n/a civic
@@exotik4123 what mods did you do to win against an accord sport?
Both k series too lol
Is this considered a K series ? Cause the older K is legendary stock .
K20C2, newest generation of the eco Ks. Think of it like the K20A3
How many hours did this take. Curious...
Damn, thats like 210 to the crank, I plan on getting mine tuned soon. Hows it holding up?
My stock 9th gen si was rated at 205hp to the crank before sinking money into mods it was making 184whp. 176whp would be much closer to 200hp at the crank which is still very impressive considering these stock are 150
Can’t wait to get my tune for my civic k20 it’s gonna be lit
Any info for a 2021 civic sport sedan?
I’ve got a 2018 Honda Civic ex resonator delete and muffler delete
Got a magna flow exhaust def a lot more fun to drive after the install. Considering adding a turbo in the future but I can’t find anyone one modding many 2.0L engines. Would def want some feedback on any mods you consider getting because parts are hard to come by for the 2018 can’t find turbos or cool air intakes.
We got something big for this k20 soon!!!
Zhao's Garage I’ll def be checking for an update !
You think the 2.0 will get any more mods in the near future?
Don't add turbo on 2.0
I got a 2.0 Lx and I’m barely getting into car what’s the best thing to do?
The tuner really tuned that thing lean at wot. It was close to 14:1 afr almost the whole time. That’s way too lean for power.
No it stayed at 13:1 which is fine for a stock NA car.
In fact, he leaned it out from 12ish to gain that power. Rich fuel mixtures lose power.
A know a nonturbo 2.0L NA engine goes to 158 - 175HP max and that's not even modded yet. Imagine modding that thing with a new intake manifold, crank and pistons and actually putting a turbo with a perfect ratio compression...

Or you can just buy the Type R then if you’re spending all that money on the motor
@@highonoctane5789 i’d rather build the motor and put a turbo on it, and have a sleeper then buy a type r
Where???
@@highonoctane5789 hey some people want n/a instead of turbo,, instant power
@@highonoctane5789 modding a k20c2 isn't as good as a real type r, for sure. but a real type r is way over priced has been for years
Nice ... good numbers

What software was used to tune? K-tuner?
Jennifer Rounds yes.
James Rath where did you get red cover for engine, also, where did you get your tuner, I’ve got my invidia installed and a AEM cold air intake, gonna do downpipe and tuner
And another question for you, @James Rath does it seem like to you the engine has a slight whistle to it?
Yo I have noticed that whistle on my lx-p not sure what it is, mine is cvt but pulls pretty good all stock
How much dose it cost to tune it ?
Is you’re car auto or manual
auto
i got the same exact car, white 2016 civic lx. any suggestions on what i should do first?
I recommend a ktuner first. You can download the base tune and get a noticeable difference. Best bang for the buck. That’s what I did with mine
Jar Head he was referring to the 2.0 not the 1.5. The 2.0 doesn’t have a turbo so there is no boost
@@miguelvela31 i got a 07 civic si coupe now lol. got an intake and exhaust so far now all i need is a hondata flashpro 🙏

Yep, and a k&n drop in filter and took the resonator air box out for more intake noise.

need more vids of the civic
Where is this car now?
He traded for a new 2020 F-150 and moved to Florida but he's gonna get a older civic now. I talked about it in one of my newer videos.
What mods had you done
Lol what crossover
Where's the shop located?
what are the mods?
Cool I just dont see how anyone gets excited about 177hp lol
Ant M stock is 147whp, 30whp gains for NA seems pretty good.
ice cold you sound like your just hating! Let the person be...
You should've saved your money and just gone with an ECU flash. An ECU flash brings 22 WHP so it would run 170 after an ecu flash.
What do u mean? So ecu flash then tune??
