Cannot hit 215km/hr la.

It can hit about 206 - 210km/hr.

This is for both Civic FB1.8 and FB2.0.

This is the R series SOHC engine we're talking about. Got turbo also will be a soft boost setup for this car. I've seen the boost range between 0.4 to 0.52 bars but nothing higher.

Even a 3 series only tops out at 220-230. This Civic so good sia.

8th gen Civic 1.8 is the FD, 2.0L is FD2

Exaggerated claim only. Some just love to dream with Honta, their motto Power of Dream. Now even Earth Dream engine. All kept dreaming in imaginative world. In real world top speed for stock original:

Civic 1.8 - 197km/h

Civic 2.0 - 201km/h

Lancer 2.0GT '2009 stock 220km/h (max)

When loaded with cargo, acceleration and ability to go uphill also deteriorated badly compared to Altis, Forte, Focus. Lost in terms of engine strength & gear strength. Modified Civic especially with big exhaust tends to lose top speed further.

Long gearing does not mean it can reach those speeds! The engine does not have enough power to push the car's weight and fight aero drag to reach top rpm at top gear. Based on top speed calculator, my ordinary sedan which only has 200+hp theoretically can reach 330kph in 6th @ redline! If that so, then my car can match those Ferraris/Lambos already. Impossible right? but in reality my car is only proven to have reached 240+ meaning the engine cannot go anywhere near the redline rpm in 6th (btw the top speed of my car can only be reached using 5th, not 6th as the 6th gear cannot sustain it). Therefore I seriously doubt the FD2 can even reach higher than 220 in real flat surface. After modification is a different story though coz it depends on how much additional power you get. Btw I'm talking about true speed, not overstated speedo readings. (for example if my car speedo is showing 180kph, actual speed is still only about 170).

Higher a bit la, where got so low.

1.8s also can hit about 207km/hr.

There's a few other examples posted by other owners in their FB group page.

Steady hands that guy got there. If the 1.8 can achieve 207km/h, I suppose the 2.0 would be able to hit up to 212-215km/h.

It cuts around 208km/hr - 210km/hr and it takes a long time to reach that kind of speed. So you need to be on LEKAS, LATAR or some other long stretch straight highway.

Looks like they changed the FB1 gear ratio or something, because FD1 I had seen 213 km/h top speed before it got cuts off. At first I thought same engine and gearbox, the newer model should have at least same top speed.

Your ordinary sedan? You meant your Mark X?

The DOHC K series engine is by far a much better engine compared to the SOHC R series engine.

Seriously, this generation Civic is quite a disappointment.

Most 2.0 can go above 200km/h but the plateau is around 210km/h or so. Usually the horsepower figures will determine the top speed. With 155PS, nothing much to shout about.

Fair enough that even 220km/h may be a far-fetched claim for the Civic 2.0.

155PS is paper.

whp is about 115 - 130 (1.8 - 2.0), there are dyno figures available for the 9th gen R18a and R20a Civic.

U sure ?

Huh...no vios or myvi fan boys come and boast their god car can tapao this civic meh....hmmm...

Absolutely

The K20Z 2L roughly has 125-130whp and 15kg of torque
If it is not for the 5 AT, expect even more torque, probably 17kg

the civic 1.8 reached 207km/h with econ mode on...

K series is "true" iVTEC. You have infinitely variable valve timing and stepped VTEC cam phasing. R series are "intelligently" activating VTEC.

Like I said before, speedo readings are mostly overstated by as much as 7-10kph! So don't simply trust your speedo, in reality that might still be below 200kph or just around low 200kph.

Yes.
