im just really all about bseries, dont get me wrong, kseries is awesome but a lil too expensive for my taste

DaveSi677

I wouldn't want to swap a B series in an EP3... lower torque #, complications with installing. K20A is far superior then a B18C...

You should read the article on that car... the installation was a piece of work on its own!

Mr. Spade

this, but for an inferior engine

K is not expensive if you already have an EP3 or DC5. it would cost far more to put a B18c in there. with the money put into a B18c swap you could have bought a lot of stuff to upgrade your K.

Now this is word of wisdom and common sense all at the same time!!!

this has got to be one of the dumbest ideas I've seen in a long time...

Would be way too expensive and pointless to put a B-Series into an EP3. The end does not justify the means whatsoever.

However ....

When it comes to which motor I prefer, I'd still stick with the B-Series. After 5 B-Series motors, and 3 K-Series (including the most recent K20A), I'm not a huge fan. The K Series have more power output, but also keep in mind they're pushing heavier cars. The K-Series power-plant signaled the end of Honda's double wishbone setups, and low curb weights. The B18C5/C-Spec R was IMO the greatest rendition of an inline four cylinder Honda engine. Combine that high-revving spaz of a motor with the ultra-slick, ultra precise hydraulic LSD transmission in the lightweight DC2-R (JH4DC231 body) and it was magic. We'll never have another Honda like that, ever again. And that is a damn shame.

haha nothin wrong with B series even though YES it has lower torque, but you can get a K and all the goodies for like 5500

great thread bump

If you already have an EP3 dont do it. Not worth the time. Yes you'd have the originality factor here in the US but you'd also lose respect from a lot of us. The EP2 came stock B or D series, can't remember. So if you have an EP2, go ahead, straight drop.

It's appalling that after experiencing a K you would state you'd prefer a B? You must not have really experienced a K. I've experienced both and I loved that traditional VTEC kick but nothing in the world Rips like a K. The K Series did not signal anything but more power. You must not have noticed that there are K Swapped Teggy's? Best of Both worlds yes? This makes your point moot

speedooo

So you don't like k series motors because the cars they came in were heavier and had a different suspension setup.

I guess that makes sense if you don't think about it.

drunkenmath

eh who the hell cares what you do to your car if its what you want and i dont know who any of you are so why the hell would i care what ive gained or lost from you. i want a great track car and im into experimenting. its my car not yours bro haha you do what you want to your car idc

speedooo

If you like wasting time to obtain abismal results, by all means, ignore us.

y u mad though?

The only situation in which this idea would make sense is if you had an EP2, with a D series... But you specifically asked for EP3/DC5, so you might as well stick with your K-series.

Mike Lowwryyy

What makes his point moot is that he's comparing motors, but referencing double wishbone suspensions and curb weight...

This thread should have been left for dead guess some people like bumping threads that are over a yr old!!!
