Fast forward to 2003 and Honda produced in Swindon, the EP3 based Type-R. Featuring the K20A2 2.0 VTEC engine producing 197HP the EP3 could hit 60mph in 6.5 seconds and reach a top speed of 146 mph. With the oldest examples now hitting 20 years of age, the inevitable rust is starting to kill off these cars. We want to save as many as we can!
Stock computer my roommates EP3 civic made 155hp and 125Tq. It has a short ram intake back by the header,RBC ,OBX Race header for the EP3,world sport exhaust. It made 160/130 on hondata 91octane base mape. should make more with tuning. internally stock EP3 civic motor not RSX. That base manifold is killing you.
I did some optional stuff (Type-S oil pump, RBC intake manifold) to make it better, but the stock swap would be pretty easy. You can use the ep3 harness, just change over a few sensors and extend a couple wires. I still have the 5 speed and I wish I had another gear for highway driving.

The Type R introduced things like the red Honda logo, red bucket seats and perhaps most importantly the 2.0-litre VTEC engine. More than 20 years later, the newest version of the Civic Type R is now on sale, the FL5, and while those distinguishing elements from the EP3 remain, pretty much everything else has changed.
That being said, for Honda to have returned to the Civic Type R with a car so far improved from the one before it is to be applauded. Let’s hope the progress continues over the next 15 years

I hate to ask such as basic question. I ordered a K20A swap and I was given the choice to have either a Civic Type R K20A (EP3) or a Integra Type R K20A (DC5). The shop told me they're identical, but in the FAQ's, it says the EP3 motor is rated at 212 hp while the DC5 motor is rated at 217 hp. Does anyone know what makes them different?
