[eng Cc] The Greatness of Type R

What is the greatness of Type R? A mass produced car, with mass produced engine and mass produced chassis, receiving special refinements right from the beginning is when it begins its Type R reincarnation. You may know the famous port buffing advertised in the catalog, where the mechanic is performing the buffing/porting procedure. In fact he's doing even better job than advertised. The porting goes very deep into the port. "It's amazing how Honda is serious about what they do" is what's been known for some time now. People are genuinely very exited and enthusiastic about them making true high spec cars intently. The image of the car was more important than whether or not its sale would make profit. I personally was very happy about that fact. The older DC2 Integra version, actually it's still about to become the older version, and the old version EK9 Civic. If we just take a look at the engine as an example, the B series VTEC engine has been in production since EF '89 up to '01. The engine as a whole has seen many variations and has been more and more refined over the last 15 years. On the other hand, the new Inte R and Civic engine is a the new type, the K series. This engine is based on F series engine from S2000, which marked the Honda's fifty anniversary. In that sense, the new Integra R and Civic R, the new engine series incorporates all from the B series that has been made over the last fifteen years up to S2000 F series what's known for great change in terms of engine structure. The new K series mass produced engine is based on the predecessors. The greatest feature of the engine is sandwiching of the crank between the block and brace. Without subjecting the oil pan to any stress, achieved by sandwiching the crank shaft at the top and bottom of the block. Such racing engine has become a marketed engine. And this is the greatest highlight without a doubt. In order to achieve high rev high power engine with high longevity you have to necessarily deal with conflicting dual nature of these requests. The oil return, blow-by processing and antipollution solutions are becoming more difficult to deal with. F and K series engine block brace type, its structure as it can be seen allows for very high bonding strength between the crank and the block. This also quiets down the engine sound level. So with that the amount of blow by, oil return included, sound level as well as the friction losses are decreased. The B series engine is known to be more wild and slightly more uncultivated, whereas the new K and F series engine, while still having very high power output, also have lower friction losses and fuel consumption, sound level emissions. In a very broad sense they achieved even higher balance between high rev power output and longevity. The following is my personal opinion. The matter of whether or not the new Integra R is better than its predecessor, or faster with higher engine displacement is not important at all. The old Inte R and Civic R will remain as famous cars in history. Will we be able to say the same thing about the new one is the right question to ask. When driving the Inte R with over 50,000km (talks about track racing probably), the engine can be felt a bit tired and the owner usually wants to tune it up. It's not the tuning what I'd recommend, but overhauling the car to its new condition is the right way of thinking. To enjoy the good car as long as possible. The point of tuning is relatively easy. When driving the car daily, is the drive good and smooth, are the clutch, steering and brake systems operating smoothly? If you base your observations of the car on these two points I reckon It should be relatively easy to bring the car back to good working order.
