Planted // K20A Type R Honda Jazz
Built to be small and economical, the Honda Jazz has managed to pinpointedly satisfy the world’s demands for an affordable city car. Most recent 2010 figure: Honda has sold 3.5 million of these cars, a number equivalent to the whole population of the country Kuwait. The Jazz’s attractive pricing in Indonesia has also attracted many enthusiasts’ interests to further modify the platform. For performance enthusiasts, though, there’s a big drawback: the small engine. Even when supported by plentiful performance mods, the Jazz’s 1.5L simply can’t push out enough HP to be quick. The solution? This Jazz we are featuring today has been transplanted with a K20A Type R engine. Yes, Type R, from a DC5.
Ever since the Jazz’s first debut in 2001, a lot of rumors had been spread regarding the platform’s suitability for a K20, or even K24 swap. Disappointed by the lack of engine options and non-existent Type R, enthusiasts seek out ways to fit a larger engine into the tiny engine compartment. Some involved cutting and bending of the chasis in order to fit the oversized engine. However, as time passes, some have managed to fit the K20 engine while keeping the chasis intact. This Jazz is one of them. In line with the owner’s intention in having the car daily driven, he forbade any deconstructive mods that will only make the Jazz look good on papers. Look at the mods list yourself, a whole sum of supporting mods have been installed to make sure this K20A is feeling at home inside the Jazz’s engine bay.
