Ok,heres my problem. I plan on swaping for a motor but im not sure on what i should do. I wanted a k20 but i realize its alot of money for it,and a b18c is about right. if i go with a k20 its going to be worth more than the car, while a b18c is about the same. WHAT WOULD U DO ? k20 or b18 tell me the pros and cons plz.

IMO I would go with the b18c. As you said before its more friendly on the wallet. I don't know why but i've always been a fan of the b18c its such a B.A motor. Nothing like a solid b-series type r.

 

With the K20 your looking to be into that project anywhere from 7-9 grand... Yeah, your going to have a sick hatch but in the end is the lack of traction and a 10000 dollar hatch worth it? Basically the B is a solid engine with solid reliability and solid power for a much less fully done swap price from 4-5 grand... Good luck with your swap bud.

 

i went from a d series to a b18c in my ek...after about 2 years of drivin the b18c, i got bored and now im going K...yes its burning a hole in my pockets but once im done, watch out v8

 

if i had the money... K20 all the way... but ONLY if i had the money

 

If you have the money then go for the k20. it also depends what you wanna do after...but if i had a choice i would go for k20. its soooo much better!!

 

is the b18c a GSR or a Type R?? and is the k20 from a jdm integra (dc5)or a civic (ep3) or an RSX?? which one do you wanna get?? it all depends but B- series motor swaps are easier, less headaches, and cheaper!! so its pretty much how much money you got, n what you like.... i would rather do a b series swap cuz the K series are more expensive for not that much more power than a B18 Type R....

 

if you're ballin, get a K. but the look of a b-series under the hood just excites me!

 

Best bang for the buck - B16 turbo or Ls turbo

 

B18C1 or C5

 

Well i went K24 with a type s head supercharged and to the guy that responded u IT IS WORTH IT its in a 92 hatchy nice little sleeper

 

Build a turbo'd sohc, save yourself money, headache, and weight. with a good build/setup/tune, youll put down more power.

 

Just get a JDM GSR from hmotors. If your looking for a k killer do some research on an H2B setup

 

Search button works wonders.

 

oh how i hate these type of posts....weirdos...just give me your car...do what you like man...

 

u might as well get a b18c or b18c5...they're pretty much almost close to the horsepower that the k-series make. im sure they're way cheaper too..

you're stupid, go play in traffic.

op: if you got money to throw away, go with the k20, other than that, b18 is so much more cost efficient.

 

Get the K20.


I know you're a baller.

 

I'm pretty sure you can figure out the pros and cons of each by yourself. You just stated a couple. Do what you want. Quit wasting people's time with these worthless threads that you can find by moving your mouse 2cm up to the search button where you can click and find all the info you want on either of these motors. Bam, problem solved.

 

i would also like to get a k20 maybe k24

 

b18c is a good motor that will go fast for less $$. i'd do b18c with boost with the money

 

what about H-series??

just throwing it out there.
