Default K20A Itb or ORIGINAL B18c Itb/supercharge

I have a late model 97spec Honda ITR (JAPANESE) you've prob seen it under the ITR forums



Should I


A. Keep the Original B18c with ITB's and NEAR future Supercharge

or

B. Throw my K20A/Itb thats still sitting strapped to the pallet.


I ask this question directly towards the ITR owners because you guys know the value of your Itrs. I do wanna keep it ORIGINAL (engine/trans) but then again the K20A has only got 16,XXX miles MINT.

I NEED help, your OPINIONS would be greatly valued and appreciatted!!!

Thanks

-Jc

wtf is wrong with a 2 liter K series? fast as ballz just dont have the lowend and midrange torque.
Personally, I would keep the oem B series setup unless you're building a show stunna or track beast and you're an amazing driver...
Whats your mods as of now?

Dropping in an ITB setup K20 swap in a DC, will run close to 14K total. K isnt cheap.

Here's my two cents about the whole B vs. K in a DC2.

B18:
Already installed
people have made good power with them
Overall less money, i believe, to build rather than swap and build.


K20:
Got to pay for the motor when you already got one in the car
Change mounts, everything that goes with a swap.
Higher output

If it was me just build the B18,

Use the K series in an EG or something
