i saw nagaski motors selling base k20a models for $1800 which i think is pretty damn cheap...whats the difference betweent that and the k20 type r?? thanks

 

about 40-50 hp

 

so basically 40-50 hp and thats the difference between a 1800 swap and a 5500 swap?

 

and the potential to make 210+ whp with just bolt ons....forgot to toss that in...the difference between a b18b and a b18c is about 30 hp (even less) but the potential is what youre making an investment in...

 

the RSX base model motor is whack. dont even think about it.

care to elaborate of why its whack??

i know the difference between a b18b1 vs a b18c1 even though one has vtec and the other doesnt...but both these models have i-vtec and i just want one to maybe play around??? because basically i can sell my LS motor for $1000 and put $800 more and get a k20a base....

if you intend to swap a motor and run 12's youre heading in the wrong direction...your switching platforms to open new doors...and let me tell you...youre not opening any doors by going from b18b to k20 base...in fact you shut some of them

i understand...but all you said was 40-50 hp and the potential to make 210 whp with just bolt-ons.....why can't the k20a base make 210 whp with just bolt ons?...whats so different between the k20 type r and k20a base...thats what im asking....

 

the head...(sound familiar?? b18b head as a choke point)

 

essentially everything.

 

oh yes it does...i already said i know the difference between the b18b1 and the b18c1...i was asking for the k20a base vs k20 type r.....<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by lVlemphizStylez &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">the head...(sound familiar?? b18b head as a choke point)</TD></TR></TABLE>

 

The base model is an economy engine, it doesn't have the "real" vtec, it has ivtec, but it's only there for fuel economy, not power. You'd be better off getting an accord/crv/element k24 because atleast you'd have torque with the same horsepower. I'll have to see if the old SCC article is around that compares the SI to Type R when hasport did the type r swap into a brand new SI.

Edit: Here's an article that explains it http://www.sportcompactcarweb....pe_r/

 

There is a lot more to it then just buyng the motor for 1800 and bolting it up to your teg. Its a pretty extensive swap. You'd be way better off buying a b18c.

 

Don't bother with him, he's an idiot. Let him get whatever the expletive he wants to get. He comes on this site and asks for advice and then he spits in our face when we try to give him our .02. expletive him, go tell him to drive a Yaris

you need to shut the expletive up....calling that man an idiot for no reason...He's asking questions to better his knowledge..take notes and stfu

 

if i'm not mistaken, another big difference would be the stock internals. kind of like the difference between b18c1 and b18c5.

thanks for the backup man...i appreciate it and all the other questions....and when did i spit in your guy's face? geezus some people

 

None of u guys were able to explain it right, the diff. bet base model and type r is a lot, the compression on the pistons, better flowin head, way more aggressive cams, higher reving, lsd, six speed, it's better than the base model in all aspects.
More Power and Potential.

 

don't even bother with the base model rsx motor

its like pickin' up the k20a3
