Honda Civic Type R Turbo 500 bhp

FORGED & BOOSTED 500 BHP INSANITY – HONDA CIVIC TYPE R EP3 🇯🇵🔥

Take one of the greatest analogue hot hatches ever made, then turbocharge and fully forge the legendary K20A2 engine for around 500 bhp – and you’ve got something genuinely unhinged. This is not your average EP3 Civic Type R.

This particular EP3 has been transformed into a properly engineered, standalone-managed 500 bhp monster. At its heart sits a fully forged K20A2 bottom end with a PSR turbocharger, AEM Water/Methanol injection, and Bosch 1000cc injectors fed by a full fuel return system – all managed by a Haltech Elite 1000 standalone ECU with in-car keypad map switching, displayed on a Haltech iC-7 colour dash. The exhaust system was custom-built by TopGear Performance in Doncaster, with genuine Akrapovič tips and full ceramic coating by ThermoMet.

The result is one of the most seriously specced EP3s in the country – a forged K20-powered hot hatch with the soundtrack, the spec sheet, and the genuine straight-line shock value of cars costing many times the money.
