new powerplant option

Wonder if it'll bolt up to my S2000 trans;)

 

Available for the first time in*the United States through the Honda Performance Development (HPD) Racing Line program, the premium-fueled turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four can be yours for $6519.87 before tax and shipping. Where previous Type R engines—like the Civics they lived in—were offered only in Europe and Asia, now that the car is available here, so is the crate motor. Honda used the 2017 SEMA show to reveal the addition to its HPD Racing Line. In our testing of the Type R, we’ve noted that the engine is smooth, punchy, and—despite the turbo pumping up to 23.2 psi—not very laggy. Extracting all 306 horsepower and 295 pound-feet is an easy, seamless job, thanks to a flat torque curve that peaks at 2500 rpm.

Even if it will, it may not matter. There's more to be found in the unattributed article (that can be found on multiple sites) that you copied and pasted from to create your post.

 

Consider the following:

 

But unlike Dodge, which now offers a 707-hp Hellcrate engine to all comers, Honda is going to be seriously nitpicky about where this K20C1 engine goes. If you aren’t racing a Honda or Acura in a sanctioned series, you’re not eligible and will have to find your Type R motivator in a salvage yard. Honda makes buyers of the engine sign a lengthy contract that requires proof several times over that you’re not attempting to bolt it inside a Subaru BRZ or other non–Honda/Acura product and, essentially, that your creation is intended for on-track competition. Also unlike Dodge, Honda offers no warranty, assuming that parts sold by HPD are only to be used in racing, not on the street.

If you wait a few months crashed Type Rs with salvageable engines are going to start showing up, prices will probably be high given supply and demand.

 

Where do people usually put the intercooler for turbocharged 7s?

A variation of the Type R turbo 4 is going into the all new '18 Accord. It makes 252 hp and 273 lbs torque. Should be a lot more of those wrecked over time than will be wrecked in the 2 cars per dealer allotment of Type R's. And maybe easier to buy in crate form?

One way to go would be to follow the lead of the intercooler mounting and ducting as used by the factory on the 620R.

Well for little over $4K I can get a 400hp supercharger from Kraftwerks. It would just be for showing off as I can barely handle what I have now;)

Would need traction control
