Civic Type-r engine vs 2018 accord 2.0T

[CSIG1001]

Looks like the new accord has a pretty weak intake manifold

I am wondering if this is the only difference compared to the 2.0T CTR engine

The turbo of the Accord looks smaller.

the turbo is definitely different

the intake pipe is definitely different. Can't see the intake manifold from the pictures you posted so not sure if it's different. Turbo seems to be different.

i'm sure turbo is smaller, its designed more for low to mid range. Probably for day to day driving it'll feel stronger with even less lag.

The engine actually is really nice, but definitely oriented for a friendlier gas consumption. Grandmother's car like in comparison to the CTR.

Honda has a history of doing this to tone down engines. The EP3 Civic Si (and RSX Type-S) came with a cast intake manifold, while the base RSX came with a plastic one. This was on more or less the same motor with different internals and a different head.

I bet they don't call it a K20C1, but a K20C4 maybe?

The 2017 Civic Type R uses a Mitsubishi TD04 turbocharger.

The 2018 Accord 2.0T uses an Isuzu RHF5 turbocharger.

I also believe the K20C4 in the Accord has a smaller intercooler and a secondary balancer.

Have they come out and called it a K20C4? That was just my guess! Haha

It'll be one hell of a race, CTR vs. Accord 2.0T

6 spd. Manual vs. 10 spd. Auto

hopefully aftermarket support will give us a new turbo and intake, exhaust and a flash ecu , could make the accord a bargin for performance.

According to TOV, it is indeed the K20C4.

"The Accord’s 2-liter turbo is identical to that in the forthcoming Civic Type R, save some trimmings and tuning."

Well look at that, a good guess (also I knew that C1 through C3 were taken).

It's a little nostalgic since the K20A4 was also an Accord engine.

Hahah I thought you knew! That was a great guess!
