im really into the whole k series and working on starting the build soon but for some reason i keep second guessing it, any opinions?

 

If you can afford the K swap then id say your crazy not to do it

 

yeah thats what im thinkin, the money really isnt a issue people think its really expensive for the swap when its really not

 

If money isn't an issue than K swap!

 

yea if its not gonna break the bank and you don't have a super boner for a b18c, you could probably be commited for not putting a K in.

If going k20a2,k20z2-3,k24a2Nqith rsx type s tran or itr tran swap DO IT...k24a1-3-4 don't do it...Complete b18c-r would be better.

 

good luck with the decision. either one is a reputable swap, just dont cut any corners.

 

Sack up... Go J series

 

Definitely K swap.

 

theres no thinking about it, k swap if money isnt an issue, k swap= 200whp stock b18c-r=170 whp give or take some ponies.
besides the k series heads have awsome flow, not to mention all the aftermarket parts that already aout for it. dam i wish i had money like that, lol

 

^^ they callin you out bro! maybe hamotorsports will sponsor you if you go with a j swap

 

if moneys not an issue go k-swap!! im so jealous aha.

 

also maybe it depends what your planning to do with the car? DD? track? or both?

 

K-Series. but get the good one. not the EP Civic or the non Type-S. those are rubbish lol.

 

not trying to hijack the thread but what if money was an issue?

I agree that if money isn't an issue the k20 would be awesome. But isn't there a huge difference in price when getting a k20 because of all the extra parts you have to get while the b18c is almost a drag and drop kinda thing? or am i wrong?

enlighten me!!

Im also torn between the k20 and the b18c5, the prices for the engines aren't too different but I think the labor and extra parts are...right?

 

I think you should just build k swap. If money isnt a issue, like another user said befor e don't cut any corner tho lol

 

What are you going to do with the car? Looking at at least 1500 dollar difference between the two, and if your going to be boosted, both motors will make about the same power, although the K will have a better tq. curve and may make a bit more peak power, but again the b-series and K-series peak numbers are pretty much the same. K-series can take more abuse with stock sleeves. As far as the aftermarkett support, both engines are VERY well accounted for, so no issues there, Id say if you got the money go for it, But if it were me, I would stick with the GSR and spend that extra money you save on more important things (tuning, etc.) In my opinion the B-series is still hands down the most cost effective bang for your buck.

DD, im not boosting naturally aspirated k20a2, and im shooting for the uniqueness of the swap, ill be the only one in my area with it

 

hahah that would be sick im not gonna lie but thats money into that build lol

 

i would and thats what i was considering doing but...an eg in the area has one..no one has a k swap

 

DD

 

^^ go with the b18c5 swap then,its cheaper and you'll make for sure 210 n/a and it'll be a fun dd, but if you want to be that unique go k swap. all depends on you

 

K-series swaps are becoming more and more common. You wont be the only one with one for long.
