A small 1.8L 4 cylinder engine produced by Honda Motor. Launched in 2006 for the 8th generation Honda Civic, it quickly gained popularity among people who don't want to spend that much on the Civic Si, but want to join the rice game as well. R18A1 Civics are usually cosmetically and acoustically moded only. Mostly modded to look like the FD2R counterpart which is also a Civic, but it's JDM 8th generation Civic Type R and is actually fast.
That R18A1 Civic with the aftermarket exhaust Sounds fast
The N14 or EP6 engine aka the prince engine family, co-developed by BMW group and PSA group for a multitude of BMW, Peugeot & Citroen cars and the mini R56. Engine is so unreliable that an entire workshop can be solely supported by the existence of this Engine. And the owners of these engines will be prince engine master tech in no time.
There are other variations of this engines like the N13 N18 EP6DT etc⦠but that doesnât matter theyâre equally unreliable.
This is the third timing chain Iâve put on my N14 EP6 equipped Peugeot 308
