Project 81 Civic Part 6 – No Mugen Power?

By Brian Gillespie

DOHC D16 is Meh

The internet thinks our power plant choice is lame, so the engine argument continues. Which way do we go? Do we build a fast street car with a DOHC D16A1 or all out track monster with a J or K? And don’t forget we also have a turbo VTEC L15B7 from the new Civic.

Brian finds an ultra rare Mugen ZC engine to spice things up, but in a surprise move “no man” Carter says yes. Project 81 Civic takes a turn in a definitely twisted direction.

Nothing but Hondas.

That’s exactly what you’ll find at VTEC Academy. Not because some of the other automakers’ cars that inherently drain the life out of the driving experience bore us, but because Soichiro Honda’s passion for motorsports and his company’s ability to express that in the machines they produce make a whole lot of sense.

VTEC Academy is a place for Honda fans who feel the same way and who seek the most accurate technical information and commentary to continue that very legacy and make whatever Honda it is that they drive just a little bit better. And faster.

The editors and contributors of VTEC Academy are some of the industry’s most experienced and trusted, which means the informative, unique perspectives you need are all right here. And, like you, we’re also obsessed with Hondas.
