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.

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.

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.

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.

1.6-litre engines, the top speed from manufacturer is usually below 200km/h. Usually indicated as 195km/h thereabouts but in real life may squeeze another 5+/- km/h.

As for Civic 2.0, horsepower is 155PS.

Actual Dyno figures for the R20a (Civic 2.0)

user posted image

Actual power really more like 130ish whp.

Stock car dyno run or with minor mods ?
*
Most of them have some minor mods like changing to K&N air filter or using open pod. The stock car is represented by the green line.

Morale of the story: This dyno proved to us that all the so called downpipe modification (removing the cat-con), using open pod/cold air intake virtually yielded zero to little improvement over a stock car. In fact, some cars even produced lower numbers than the stock car. Car modification is a technical science!

All I/H/E modification will need re-tune of the air fuel and even ignition, valve timing maps to yield results.
Otherwise the engine will follow the factory maps, so you won't be able to realise the gain.

So engine management is the first and most important mod IMO.

Which don't really exist for the R series engine. So, performance wise, this car is pretty much a dead end, unless you don't mind with piggybacks and going through the forced induction route.

R20A really impressive, more wheel horse power than the stock K20Z, torque is around the same as the K20Z smile.gif
*
That should not be the case. I've seen some K20Z stock dynos. Although the horsepower is similar, the torque output is easily about 10nm more than R20a. .
