blew my pistons rings when i turbod my R , now im left with a shell what do u guys think , im goin back to na

jdm b18cR or the K20a2 type s motor(having a hard time finding a type s motor)


I got cash in hand for both just dont no what to do , give me some advice!!!!

 

K20A-R. Screw the S motor, get the R motor.

 

^i concur...JDM K20A all the way LSD, extra rpms, extra 20 hp and the red valve cover for starters

 

yo dawg get dat K-series cuz it be mo powerful wit mo potential. Know what i'm say

On serious note: we've all heard good things about the K20a so i would look towards the future of the K-series' motors

 

yeah. if you only can get type S motor.. i'd turbo that ****.
if i can get the dc5R motor.. i'll leave it stock. i mean n/a

Rebuild original B18C5? I would imagine that would be cheaper than buying an entire longblock, if not better/stronger?

 

I think it really depends on your budget..
Keep in mind you have to dish out extra cash for moutns, axles, harness and ecu too. But if you got the extra bling, K20A for sure.

 

correct me if im wrong but couldnt you just use a Type S ECU (if, by chance, the K20a DIDNT come with an ECU, most swaps do) and just use hondata KPro to remap it?

 

im staying n.a and want to keep stock internals , i sold my original swap so im sittin on money , im also having a hard time finding a type s swap , if i decided to part from n.a the most i would do is a supercharger for the cleaner more of a daily driver set up

rebuild your motor or buy another b18c5 whatever you do stick with the b series!!!! but a six speed would be nice

 

why should i stay b series , and correction i will be doin the k20a type r motor nnot the type s

 

yep, rebuild, this way you only do work to the block, reuse the head, transmission and performance parts, get all new seals, pumps and pay 2-3x less than for less powerfull type s swap.. unless you want more reliability but less power, go with k series.. or you could rebuild to stock if you can't afford to boost anylonger.

for anyone considering running boost, plan ahead of time on what you're going to do, because you can blow your stock engine within couple weeks/month, so just think ahead of time or maybe don't boost in first place cause its a money pit.

Displacement rules my friend...and the k-series is far superior to the b-series in every way shape and form, except maybe cost.

 

Depends on how large your budget is, and how much power you want to have.

K-series weakness is in the rods, while the B-series weakness is in the oiling system, there are the ups and downs to each setup. There have been problems with the rods letting go after frequent trips past 8500rpms, so if you want to make serious power N/A you'll need to dig into the K block a little.

If your head is still good, I would rebuild a B18C block. For under $3k you can get a block sleeved, bored and assembled. From there you can choose FI or N/A, and make good, solid, reliable power in either form.

 

if you wanna retain the value of your car just get the c5 re-built..
