ONLY REPLY IF YOU ACUTALLY KNOW YOUR SHIT
I recently purchased a K20A motor from a place, I was under the impression that it was the ITR K20A, after further inspection it has turned out to be the CTR K20A...NOW; I have the option to return the motor for a verified ITR K20A...BUT it's a 8 hour round trip to do so...
So, I and some friends have been looking around online, mainly Honda of Japan and j-garage for information; and have found some interesting things
#1: It appears both motors have the same bore/stroke and compression ratio (which leads me to believe they use the same crank, rods, and pistons)
#2: It also appears both use the same Transmission; or at least the same gearing, Final Drive, and LSD; but will the shift linkages be different (ie: Will i not be able to use the CTR w/ the RSX shifter b/c of the different Civic Shifter mounting area)
#3: The K20A ITR motor makes 220ps (216.99 hp) while the K20A CTR motor makes 215ps (212.05 hp)..Could this be ECU related? They both share the same redline
#4: The head, are they the same? Are the cams the same?
#5: TB and IM: I'm about to measure the throttle body, but do the two motors share the same Intake Manifold?
So basically I ask you this:
Are the motors the same?
Will the CTR shifter cables mate to a RSX shifter assembly?
That's all for now..thanks...I'm also gonna put this in general to get more traffic as I need to find the answers in the next 24 hrs.
