The King Motorsports / Mugen Civic Si made its debut at the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) convention in Las Vegas. The car showed off its K20 DC5R engine which has a limited slip differential and a 6-speed transmission. The engine had been modified to produce 240hp. The K20 represents Honda's next generation engine. It does not run on a timing rubber belt. It runs by a timing chain. The engine heads are reversed so that intake and exhaust swap position. Three additional versions of the K20 (K20A, K20B, K20C) engine are available; each sporting subtle variations in their power train assembly.
