most people are stating that they preferred to go with the b20 vtec than the k20, is this a financial issue or is there some kind of proof that that b20 can outdo a k series? i heard b's are holding up pretty good, to kill my doubt I'm counting my HT buddies.

 

k20 is alot better but not many people can afford it

 

i heard thy run for 6k and a b20vtec for 2500

 

Kinda reminds me of the VTEC and non VTEC debate. For less money, you can build a B18A/B to put out more horsepower and torque than a stock B16A, maybe a B18C, but the B18C has a better platform to make much more power if you have the coin.

For the money of buying and installing a K20, you can sleeve and add a stroker kit to the B18/B20 VTEC to make some serious power, more than a stock K20.

Flame away on my comparisons, I was just trying to add some fuel to the debate.

 

no no, this is good .

 

what is a stroker kit what does it do??

It is a longer rod and shorter piston. Therefore, leangthening the travel of the piston "stroke" and making more displacement.

B18 to a B20 using the same block. Make sense?

1800 cc's to 2000 cc's

Longer rod and shorter piston doesn't change displacement. It's the stroke of the crankshaft and bore size of the cylinder that determines the displacement.

 

with the money you spend on a k20a swap, you can have a fully built b-series. yet a fully built b-series is equivalent to a k20a with bolt ons. which platform is better? you get what you pay for simple as that.

 

its more of a financial issue. not many people can afford 10k to buy a k20 and have it installed properly. b20 is a budget frankenstein engine. blocks are cheap and many parts are interchangeable

 

if money weren't an issue. i'd go with a K in a heartbeat.

 

well that k20 the money at once, and in the other hand the b series will cost the same but timely, and i have something fast in the proses. hmm what would be best.

 

I had a built b20 now im saving up for a K swap thats all I have to say.

 

Lets put it this way ,the guys in the NSX forum are figuering out a way to swap out their V6's for a K20...aint that something!!

 

U cant catch K with any of the B series engine,
Its expensive coz its new,
we all know that with just bol on's K is unbeatable by any others.,

 

It also really depends if you only live your life a quarter mile at a time.
