2001 EP3 Honda Civic Type R
The main features of the 2001 EP3 Honda Civic Type R:
The K20A 2.0 liter DOHC i-VTEC engine employs VTEC which adjusts intake/exhaust valve timing and lift at high engine speed and VTC (variable timing control) which continuously varies the intake valve timing phase in accordance with engine load. Exhaust gas back-pressure has been reduced through the use of a dual exhaust manifold, large-diameter piping, and high-volume mufflers. And the engine has been equipped with a short intake manifold with equal-length ducts, high-rev-compatible contenting rods, and a super-rigid crankshaft.
The close-ratio 6 speed manual transmission uses synchro-mesh cones in all gears (triple cones in 1st/2nd, double cones in 3rd to 6th.). And a torque-responsive Helical LSD was adopted.
The body has 20% higher bending and 80% higher torsional static rigidity than the EK9 Honda Civic Type R. Chassis design includes front toe control link strut suspension and rear reactive link double wishbone suspension. This combines with the VGR (variable gear ratio) and EPS (electric power steering).
The EP3 Honda Civic Type R features aerodynamic bumpers, Recaro front bucket seats, a MOMO leather wrapped steering wheel, and a dash mounted aluminum shift knob, and Type R emblems. An SRS dual front airbag system is standard equipment.
