New Honda K-Series Engines Rumored
One new Honda K-series engine is currently rumored and the other is ready for production. The first being rumored is the K25 engine made for the 2012 CR-V making 201 HP @ 6,000RPM and 177 lbs-ft. 4 cylinder 16V DOHC of course as usual. No other details are confirmed.
The more exciting engine that will actually be made is the K22 made for European spec Honda Civic Type R MUGEN. There will be only 20 models of the car made and four are still available. The car and engine is also fully handbuilt.
“The cylinder bore and stroke have been increased to create an overall capacity of 2,156cc, so the car has been christened the Honda Civic Type R MUGEN 2.2.
The result of the change is a boost in engine output from 240 to 260PS, and additional torque is available throughout the rev range. Peak torque is now 240Nm at 6,000rpm. Compared to a standard Honda Civic Type R, both power and torque are up 30 per cent.
When coupled to the host of motorsport-derived components created exclusively by MUGEN – including sports suspension, uprated brakes and a stunning performance bodykit – the MUGEN 2.2 represents the ultimate expression of the Honda Civic Type R philosophy.” - mugeneuro.com/news/36/62/Ultimate-Civic-Mugen/
