Fk3

Thats not very original

 

[CiViC_dIeSeL]

Seriously?

I really thought that a new chassis would be called something else?

Just like EG/EJ ---> EK ,EP/EU ---> FN/FK etc

It is. Its an FK

I think what is being queried is that the code hasn't changed from FK3 for the 9th gen., my 2008 2.2 being FK3.

It is called an FK3 because it is, technically, a facelifted 8th gen Civic.

Honda would normally have given it a new code and gone for a new type approval, but certain technical issues with the type approval process meant that they had to keep it as the old model.

Need an update to the Wiki then to include 9th gen?

What does FN2, FK2 etc mean? - Civinfo Wiki

Ah, I didn't know that. Does that mean some of the fancy fluid joints from the 9G could fit an 8G?

 

[martin_1.8]

what about 1.8

Petrol 1.8 then would be FK2, right ?
What about engine Code 8-th gen 1.8 was R18A2.
What is engine code on 2012 9-th gen 1.8?

I think it's the R18Z2

 

[martin_1.8]

No mine is R18Z4 and chassis is FK2

I knew is was R18Z.. Something lol

 

[Grayfox]

I can't see honda making a new engine for it.

As their is no info on the R18Z4 on wiki.

Most likely a R18A2 but they changed it the code because the 9th gen has the eco button and a updated ECU.

 

[NH Dan]

the 1.8 lump is essentially the same but revamped for a little bit more power and a little bit less fuel usage. may well be diffenet enough to warrant a changed code rather than a new one.

Yep, cost savings basically.

After the financial crises Honda dug in and decided to go for, cheaper, heavy facelifts rather than ground up clean sheets with both the CR-V and Civic. Time will tell if it was the right decision, but they seem to have done a pretty good job of at least making them 'look' like clean sheet designs.

So guys,

What would the chassis code be for my brand new civic sport?

FK2 if its a 1.8, and I'm not certain, but I think the 1.6d is known as a FK3 since the 2.2d was scrapped.
