Engine Specification

HONDA K20A i-VTEC

Our 2009 & 2010 MME Race Car

Team Brothers In Racing chose the Honda Integra (DC5) Type-R due to its superior technology and rich racing history and heritage. The Honda Integra (DC5) Type-R is powered by a 2.0-litre DOHC I-VTEC engine code named K20A that is designed with excellent intake and exhaust efficiency that enables it to produce a maximum power output of 220 hp (164 kW). This new re-designed power plant is around 10kg lighter than the B18C Engine of the previous generation Integra (DC2) Type-R. This Honda Integra (DC5) Type-R is equipped with a specially developed close-ratio 6-speed manual transmission with a speed-sensitive solenoid-type selection lock, the so called ‘RVS’ selection control system which was also adopted by the NSX, Hondas’ flagship sports car. This reduces the load time of shift operation and provides the Integra with shift performance that is both invigorating and highly efficient for quick gear-changing at the optimum revs. The Integra exhaust system is constructed with variable pipes which alters the priority given to silencing by leading exhaust gas flow to variable paths. During low rpm, silence is first priority. Sound and air flow is reduced simultaneously. When engine speeds are in the higher rpm regimes, higher exhaust gas flow becomes the priority as less back pressure is required and in the Integra this design adds a few extra brake horsepower that will help propel the car to podium victory. Great efforts have been made to reduce weight in the Integra Type-R. The use of forged aluminum front lower suspension arm, aluminum material for the bumper beam and floor crossing beam, aluminized rear brake caliper and lightened components from the centre of gravity reduces the overall weight increasing the handling response and adding competitive advantage to the Integra Type-R.
