Yes. 4 bolts. It's been rumored that you can swap with the K24's, if not, there's an adapter that allows for pretty much any TB. Also porting, polishing, and coolant bypass to reduce IAT. One of the things I haven't don't yet as it could involve some fabrication and I'd like to keep mine in a position to be able to swap back to stock if I end up trading it in. If I found solid evidence of someone swapping it out, straight bolt on, I wouldn't hesitate.
I am going to be trying this soon going to a junk yard to test a k24, and j32 throttle bodies with drive by wire. Might also have to take out my throttle body spacer because of the limited space that we have there. Also a little hesitant don’t know if it will run ok with the ktuner and not running a customer tune after the install.

Let me know the whole part(s) list and all the labor rates and money spent to get 200 at the wheels, if that’s even achievable lmfao. Definitely not hating either, just think it’s funny, people with the 2.0 try to justify that it’s just as good as the 1.5t as far as numbers and all that. It’s just not. Even with all the bolt ons and custom tuning. Just doesn’t have the potential I’m sorry. You can take a 1.5t and just add a base map and it will destroy the 2.0 tuned with all those bolt ons.

You're completely missing the point of what everyone is saying here. No one is saying this engine is comparable to the 1.5T in terms of modding potential, its already a given that a FI engine can make more power than an NA...doesn't take a genius to figure that out.

We are saying that because initially the general consensus was that there are no mods for the 2.0 that can really give it a decent bump in power, but now it is proven that it is hitting 205 to the crank up from 158, which is impressive for an NA engine. And 205 to the crank sits higher than a STOCK 1.5T engine currently except the SI. Get real man no one is saying its "just as good" lol.

Also, with that logic why should someone spend thousands on a big turbo kit for a SI and other mods just to achieve what the Type R already has? If you used that logic all the time then modding cars wouldn't be a thing lmao.

So now because some Honda’s have turbos you could go and disrespect and downgrade someone with a 2.0L N/A that wants to go fast?? Obviously a turbo is faster. But your talking just numbers. I bet if somoe with a type r disrespected your 1.5t logic you would try to justify it but won’t be as fast as a 2.0t. And if we to boost our car or supercharge them they will be way faster than that 1.5t with lower numbers. We might have different engines but we all have the same goal is to make our Hondas go fast we’re all in the same team. So don’t be a turbo douce like all the Subaru wrx and sti guys before Honda went F/I. Thanks!!

Not going to waste my time with you two goons. Clearly YOU TWO are missing the points here. You guys sound angry and now you are typing all that anger out on the forums. :doh::coffee: Read before spewing nonsense! And please don’t try talking about logic when you don’t even know what you are talking about. You can’t compare a Si to the Type R, YOU are the one claiming you got stock Si power so that’s why I was comparing the two you doinks. Also I never disrespected Honda for going F/I, it was very smart of them clearly that’s why the majority choose the new turbo motors. All I was addressing is that for a performance gain stand point this motor sucks, you will only wake it up with F/I. So people expecting big gains will be disappointed when they find out they have to literally buy every bolt on imaginable, then on top of that port and polish everything possible with a custom tune to reach maybe 200 if that. People don’t want to look at crank up. They are looking to see what they make at the wheels. So by the time you do all that, you have spent thousands literally for minuscule results. Just saying those rules don’t apply to Honda’s turbo motors because the nature of them. No need to be saltyyyy.

Ok cool you understand stick to your half of the forum then and leave your .02 cents out of the 2.0L side if you have nothing to contribute . I could really careless what you have to say and I bet you feel the same so stick to your side bud.

Idk if your reading comprehension skills didn't progress past the age of 10 or what, but if you actually read my post I didn't claim anything, I was referring to someone else who posted their dyno results of 178 WHP, which if you use your head translates to 204.6 crank HP and correct me if im wrong is reasonably close to the SI's 205 HP. And I even said that you can't compare the turbo motor to NA because FI will ALWAYS produce more power than NA, so no ones "salty" my guy, just trying to have an objective discussion which you are clearly incapable of. People who got the 2.0 are aware of what they have and are just trying to have fun with what they got, no one really gives a crap about "impressing" you or not. Take it easy and accept this fact this forum is a community where we all share things and talk about the thing we love which is cars, doesn't matter if one of em happens to have a different engine from the norm.

Facts, Us 2.0 Owners are finally coming together and getting power from these neglected motors! We dont need input from people with the 1.5T engine. If you dont have anything good to say dont say it!

Well said Jred!
I wonder if someone else is trying to boost their N/A civic . If turbo R18 civics are walking *most* (not all) cars in my city.. I'm pretty sure the k20c2 got some potential! The world has the technology and minds to create it.. Does anyone know any companys that are looking into turbo kits for our cars? Because I'm looking to have my crew boost it, or just buy a kit

My hope for the LX is that a company will introduce a mount kit to swap the 2013-17 Accord and current crv K24w motor. Have been emailing hasport on the regular. Since we represent such a small percentage the aftermarket doesnt see 2.0 development as being profitable?

There are a lot of people with a 2.0 engine, problem is a pretty small percentage of them are "enthusiasts" who want to do something with their cars because most of them bought the turbo anyway. Or if you're like me, you kind of just assumed that since well...its a civic that any engine would have decent aftermarket support and the 2.0 was cheaper, and satisfied all my needs. Development of this platform just wouldn't be viable in the long run for them. Which is why we barely have an exhaust kit that sounds ok and intake systems that don't really do anything. FI kits for this platform will probably NEVER happen to say the least, only option for a 2.0t engine is Type R/Accord.

I actually knew when i bought this car the 2.0 wouldnt get much support and everyones attention would be geared towards the turbo platforms. My hope was based off my previous civic starting in my 92 eg then a 97 ek (had built gsr b18c motor with b16 trans) that swap kits would start becoming available. Part of the issue in California is that a swap must have an engine from same year or newer as what its going into 2018 car has to have 2018 motor(so i cant use 2017 k24w because my car is 2018) and the motor has to be same classification. For example I cannot swap a crv motor because it is classified as SUV into civic because it is a passenger car, confusing and dumb law. As the saying goes i guess you can swap anything onto anything with enough$

Texas has similar regulations, but a lot less restricted with pretty open interpretations. You can't turbo a car that doesn't have a turbo option, so I could turbo my car without issue. I can also swap any motor. Also, pretty strict restrictions on exhaust modifications, but deals mostly with emissions restrictions. And cars of a certain age drop any requirements.
