I was thinking about putting a little more money into my car, instead of dropping a b18c5 into the car, and be a little more original and get the DC5 motor. But i dont know a lot about them other than the fact that they pull out some serious power.

 

and does the k20a come with LSD?

 

this is all i found...Engine Specs

HP 220 @ 8000RPM
Torque 152 lb/ft @ 7000 RPM
Redline 8400 RPM
Bore 86mm
Stroke 86mm
Comp Ratio 11.5:1
Displacement 1998cc
Specific output 110HP/L


Trans Specs

1st 3.27:1
2nd 2.13:1
3rd 1.57:1
4th 1.21:1
5th .97:1
6th .78:1
Final Drive 4.76:1

 

much appreciated.

but im looking into more technicals. IE lift of VTEC cams, more on VTC in the gears, and etc.....i just want to know if the k20a is worth my time.

 

it would kill a b18 no questions asked. It makes something the b18 didnmt have down low. torque!
plus its 20 lighter then the b series =-)...

 

What are you looking to install it into? Obviously you know that they rotate clockwise versus the B series counter clockwise rotation. I think it will take some cash to drop it into an older style chassis. If you have the cash, I say go for it, the K series will surpass the B series soon enough. The B series has had a great run, and will still continue to see support from the market, but the K is the new blood of Honda, so much untapped potential.

2000 EK. not much of an older chassis. but still kick *** motor. thanks for your opinion. i love the k20a

 

and if you have a k20a DC5 ( judging by your SN ) ddoes your car have LSD?

 

the k20a does have an lsd which is not a bad one for a stock. dont get me wrong, it does the job but like anything else out there, there is always better. i wish my dc5 had an lsd.

 

the DC5R LSD i believe is a 1 way LSD...
