well i was talking to this guy(mechanic) at this new shop and i told him that i wanted to do k20r in my da and his response was its a cool swap but not worth it.then he was saying i should stay b series and get a type r and he will make it a b18c5 stroker motor. so my question is what do you guy think about it and how is it different from the type r wit cams and some other goodies.i was told he did this to a crx and it was pushing 420hp all motor.what do you think?

Dyno sheet on the 420 whp stroker 18C5 or it never happened haha

 

hey i jus go by what i was told.

 

And you believe everything your mechanic tells you? What stroker kit was he planning on using? And how much did he say he would charge?

 

hey i didnt say i believed him im just repeating what he told me .he didnt tell me what kit it would be.and he said if i get a bare block and head he would do some mechine work on it and add thstroker kit on it for a couple thousand

 

Now way in hell you'll reach 420 hp with just a stroker kit and stock block with some machine work. You'll be lucky to kit 220 hp

 

he's right those k motors aren't making any power

 

he was sayin alot of ****

 

.......Sorry, fell out of my chair from the spilling out of my monitor. Wow. No way an all motor B18C5 will hit that HP number unless he's spinning it to 20,000 rpm or it's punched out to 4 liters. Swap what you will (i like the Type R idea), but your "mechanic" friend doesn't know **** from Shinola.

 

It would be my guess that he was talking about stroking a B18c5 motor which everyone on here knows is more or less turning it into a 2.0L by sleeving it etc. All of us also know that you can do this for a lot less money with a different choice of block (B20, LS, etc). The 420hp "all day" is an absolute joke though all motor.

 

420 hp all motor? Sounds like hes smoking too much 420! LOL
220 however is totally possible.
