As you may well know the Accord 2 liter engine and Civic Type R engine share many similarities. For those of few of you that have not seen it, Jalopnik has a great comparison: https://jalopnik.com/heres-exactly-w...ivi-1820164645
So how do power, torque and drivability compare between the engines?
Above 2750 rpm the CTR has more power (up to 36 hp) and more torque (up to 32 lb -ft)
At 2000 rpm though the CTR has 120 lb-ft less torque. So, the turbo and response has clearly been specified for the kind of driving the Civic Type R was built for. The K20c Accord turbo can build 15-16 psi at 1500 rpm, which is great for the 10 AT but the compromise is the top end power.
