ive been debating this for a month or so now...should i keep my turbo set-up or go NA K20 ? my set-up consists of...

1998 B18C5 longblock
-REV valves , springs , retainers
-JG sheetmetal intake manifold
-BBK 75mm mustang TB
-98 ITR cams
-port and polished head
-Golden Eagle sleeves
-Ross pistons (10:1)
-Crower rods
-balanced and blueprinted bottom end
-Turbonectics T68 turbo
-Turbonectics Godzilla BOV
-Kiwi manifold
-HKS GT watsegate
-Silvia intercooler
-F.A.S.T. system

all this stuff is sittin waitin until my integra chassis is done (engine bay isnt painted yet ) All motor K20 is looking real interesting to me . something new to try , etc....im also thinking of just saying **** it and sell everything cuz im tired of spending money on cars . What would you guys do ? keep ? K20 ? sell ? im confused , im tired of this project and i havent even finished it yet .

thanks for your time

I'm stuck in the same position, well almost. It's either b18c turbo or high compression ls/vtec with nitrous. Also been thinking about selling everything I have, including the car.

If you do decide to sell it, I got dibs on the turbo.

You're actually thinking of trading a 600+ WHP capable, built to the hilt turbo setup for a 200 WHP stock block naturally aspirated setup? Keep the turbo setup, you'll thank me later. My first honda was a built naturally aspirated sleeved H22A. I thought it was the ****, smacked around all the other hondas in town, and thought it was great. Then I ran against a turbocharged LS hatch with pistons, rods, stock sleeves, and got destroyed. Then I said to myself "Why the hell did I spend all this money to make 225 horsepower? This is stupid." went turbo and never looked back. I had so many people tell me that a 225 WHP naturally aspirated honda is going to be so much more fun on the street than a 400 WHP turbo setup because you can get traction and the N/A car will beat the turbo car because of lag and all this crap, but that ain't true. Having owned both setups I can say I would much rather be able to turn the power down a bit to get traction, and still have the sickening top end pull to walk away from Z06's rather than be stuck at X amount of horsepower, but boy is it great to be able to go WOT in first gear and not lose traction!

With having a K20A in my vehicle, I would tell you to keep your "built to the hilt" B18. It is N/A, and it is very fun, but does it still get worked over by a turbocharged LS, or an LS1 for that matter, yes. I've had rides in many turbocharged B series, swapped or not, vehicles, from bolt on kit to fully built. I can say that I'm not disappointment, but I would like more from it! 223 whp is great, but just doesn't cut it anymore. That's why I built a K20A2 that I had laying around. Good luck to you with whatever you choose.

not a bad option

SOHC_MShue

Turbo . I have so many friends talking about doing an all motor K series setup, but i just don't see it as being cost effective at all.

your current setup

i would chose built b series turbo over na k20 any day. k20 is nice and expensive but that motor you have built is a full out race motor and is much faster and can handle more than that k20

don't go with a k20 over a built b series. A b series is just so much simpler and parts are all over the place if you brake something, i mean what happens when a coil pack goes bad on a k series you cant call up a friend a say hey do u have a k series coil pack laying around i can buy, but you can with a b series.my advice is stay with the b series the k is just another band wagon that became big for right know, later it all will be the same.

finishing the project is your fault cuz if you really wanted it to be done you'd do it yourseld n get it done. thres being busy n all that but if you dedicate time to it. itll get done. you just finihshing putting together 1 setup. but want to sell everything for a new setup. man ive done this with my last 2 project cars and its now a pain in the *** to rebuild everything from the bottom again. START to finish is what takes time. and starting . finishing and having to start again is what takes the most time out of me. if that made any sense .
