Both a great motors, both can make good power. K swaps tend to be pretty expensive for the power they make. Look into a H2B.

Asking for HT's opinon on this is a bad thing.

can you handle the initial price shock of a full k swap?

Not going to sit here and convince you to put one motor in vs another.
Thats for you to do your homework and decide.

Check your states smog laws before deciding on a K though... might not be legal but I wouldnt know about your state.

Not looking for people to convince me . Just asking for pros and cons on what would be the best for the money . A Type R would be my choice but I saw a video of a stock k20a2 can be tuned to around 235hp on stock internals . I have never seen a stock B series tuned to that much power . Ive really been leaning twords the Type R tho.

Read the faqs man. If u have the 5-7k yeah of course the k20 swap is a no brainer
ull make more power but its a lot more difficult and expensive. Bit if its just gonna be a dd a gsr or itr swap should be good enough for that. If u want more info then do some research.

K series engines can make amazing power while N/A. Stock for stock (or bolt on's) a K will win.

There is no tech here. Just an opinion poll.

go with an H series. better than a b and cheaper than a k. an h puts down a few less horsepower than the k and the h has more torque than the k. b series just rev high. plus an h will go to 8,000 alll day or if you want something with short gear ratios go H2b; all the raw power of the h and gearing of a b
