For many years, the 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder engine has been the main product of the HPD racing product line, providing power for the company's Type R TC and Type R TCR racing cars and the successful F4 US Championship and FR Americas Championship series. In the past, HPD's K20C1 engine was exclusively used by Honda racing line members and racing teams.
Now, for the first time, anyone can purchase the HPD Crate Engine software package, “designed for easy, affordable and reliable exchange applications”. Each crate engine will be equipped with a long engine block, alternator, turbocharger and starter motor. The control package will include ECU developed by HPD, engine replacement wiring harness and accelerator pedal.
