i have been considering going K series

ive been reading up alot on quite a few articles


but then i have also been considering going B series

and having a crazy combo


CAR: 1996 civic ej6 LX four door sedan


B series:


B20B block
B16A head
type R tranny
turbo


K series:


K24 out of element
possible tyre r or s head
type r or s tranny
turbo

basically they are the same combo but just different families

i would want to go B series because of it's proven power, lower budget, and more natural in the chassis

though i would want to go K series due to new technology with massive amounts of power, though it is not as comfortable in my bay, higher budget, and a bitch to get in

what im looking for is if anyone has ever turbo'd a K24

i know they have a low *** compression ration so i image it would preform fairly well stock

and how much of a pain it was to route the piping for the intercooler

 

i also know that there is no external fuel return line on the K series engines and that would make forced induction even more of a pain

 

this is pointless...

come on people

 

if i had no budget.. i would go K .. just spending 5,000+ grand on a swap would be hard for me to do .. so id go B ..

just set you a goal and go after it..

 

if it was me I would with a JDM k20 type r

 

An H22 would be a great swap for your chubby car. and it fits comfortably in your chassis.

but go with a K series if you want Honda-Tech to love you.

 

but im looking for around 15-20 psi boost


and quite a bit of torque

Good luck.

H22 FTW.

Lower cost than B-series, more power out of the box, more potential later. Displacement &gt;*

 

but it's a sleevless block


so it wouldn't be too safe to run that much boost without investing quite a bit of money

i need to go spend some time on the H22 forums again


boy ill tell ya, in the past 4 months ive gone from seriously going b20vtec, H22, LS, Ls/vtec, ZC, K24, and now im thinking of going H22 again


the choices the choices


gotta love 'em

buit gotta hate 'em

You can't figure a block's reliability by psi, it's by whp. It should handle 300whp reliably though I have seen 430whp put down w/ stock sleeves tuned on an sc-61. Or you could do an f22 block w/ h22 head and get iron sleeves and the coveted VTEC head.

 

ive been reading alot and i think ima just gunna go b20 turbo with a possible vtec head...

it's got enough torque, gunna be daily driven, and seems more practical for me

lol

 

HOW LARGE IS YOUR BUDGET?
LARGE BUDGET = K24/K20-R HEAD
LOW BUDGET = B MOTOR

 

yeahim pretty low budget, i can go hihg, but that's if im willing to wait


so i think im just gunna go B20

then off to turbo

sould be a decent set-up
