Frequently Asked Questions

Does this R18A engine fit all 2006–2012 Honda Civic models?

Yes, it fits the standard 1.8L Honda Civic models from 2006 to 2012. It will not fit the Civic Si or Hybrid models. Please verify your trim before buying.

Is this engine-only — what do I need to reuse from my old engine?

Yes, this is an engine-only long block. You will need to reuse your old external accessories like the alternator, power steering pump, intake manifold, and wiring harness.

What mileage does this imported Civic engine have?

This motor has a verified mileage between 45,000 and 55,000 miles. It is extremely fresh compared to domestic salvage yard pulls.

Is the engine compression tested before shipping?

Yes, we compression test every single cylinder. We ensure it holds optimal factory pressure so you do not buy a dud.

Is this a direct-fit replacement for the Honda Civic?

Yes, the core block and head drop right in as a direct-fit replacement. Your mechanic will just bolt your original accessories onto it.

Why is a JDM R18A better than a rebuilt engine?

JDM motors are untouched from the factory and gently used. Rebuilt engines are torn apart and put back together, which leaves room for human error.

What warranty and shipping are included?

We back this engine with a 90-Day Limited Warranty. We also provide secure, fast shipping to commercial addresses or freight terminals. Read our Return & Refund Policy to learn more.
