Just want to hear different opinions on what to do. I had plenty of fun with B series like ls/vtecs, turbo B16, B18. Now I want to do a car that I will truely keep. Should I do K20A Type S or a Built Type R B18C? Through something out there! Thanks

 

K series are better motors hands down. Way more potential. If you have the money and dont care about spending it do that. if not build a B.

 

ive never seen a b vs k thread until this one...definately go k

 

if money aint the problem... K-series are a better base to start with and also has more potential. But B-series has the old Vtec mechanism which hits harder LOL

i agree if you have the money k-series is way better.

 

def k. you plan on goin all motor or boost?

 

got $8,000 to $10,000+ to spend on a motor swap?

 

go with the b series, k series is such a pain in the *** man. a lot of people think its so great but its really not worth it when a b series carrys the same ranks. its just a pain in the *** to work on to swap to customize, and its a pain in the wallet. Im not tryin to scare you away from it but i think people just do it for show and to be the only one in their crew that has it. do your thing tho man. Good luck.

pain in the *** - yes

worth it - yes

eg w/h22 w/type s tranny vs k20a ek

at least it is easier to work on once it is in there... I mean.. seriously, why did everything have to be so hard to reach and tucked away on the other engines....

wow that thing sounded like a F1 car at the end

 

Kseries, without a doubt. It's an absolute pain in the ***, but the rewards are incredible.

 

H22, more power than a type-r

and cost about as much as a GSR swap

Video speed editing owned it lol... I liked it too, if they could only perform as well..... Now that would be truly remarkable.

 

From what I saw of the K swap I sat in on. The only difference is drilling in a new mounting bracket, cutting the old one off, and denting in the frame in a few places to fit it in. Plus you have to drop the car over the engine, not vice-versa.....I don't see what is so hard about that?

This was in an EG hatch, btw.

EDIT: I'm sorry, this was an H series I saw.....not a K. My bad :-( An H22A to be exact. What a badass swap that is

 

i haven't met a K series i couldn't beat yet, so i would go with a B. but i seen some 92 si with it, i think it looks kool, but thats about all. thats just what i think. do what you like.

 

If you have the money to burn. Get K. If you don't, get a B. Can't go wrong any other way anyway..

 

S . O . H . C . boost...

 

are there any k swap write-ups yet on installing in an ek or ej8 or anything? i searched and didn't see anything...may have searched wrong though...

 

go k

 

k if your a baller, b if your a budget baller. lol.

 

k Series all the way
