Honda Civic Type R crate engines now on sale to the public

Honda confirmed last week it was making available a number of its legendary K20C1 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engines, usually found under the bonnet of its performance hot hatch, the Honda Civic Type R. The 228kW engine has been available in Europe, Japan and the US as a crate motor for several years. However, sales have been limited exclusively to race teams and Honda Racing Line members.
