depends on what kind of build the c1 is through. What car do you have now?? theres a huge difference your gonna probably spend another 2500 on just getting the k20 in your car. depending on what it is, but on the build. Be more specific.

b18c1 will probably be easier on your wallet. But you'll be EXTREMELY satisfied with the k20... Those are some nasty bitches

If your gonna go with a k-series go with the k24/type-s head, it's gonna be a mission to put in any k-series and it'll cost you a good chunk of cash. the B18 however, should only take a few hours and will be dirt cheap in comparison.
good luck either way. Keep us posted.

i dont think that the accords come with k20's.I think they are k24.and even if it was a k20 why would you want a built gsr when you can get an easy trade with a usdm or jdm type r.dont do it.
