I just got finished watching a car show, and they interviewed a guy that works for a honda company. he was talking about this new crate motorthat is made for hondas. he said the block last longer than anyother honda block, comes with 270 HP. Costs over $10,000. my question is, what Honda are these motors made for?

 

are you talking about "the beast", made by mr gasket?

 

You just finished watching Car and Driver on Spike TV didnt you? I just saw the same thing. The producers were at Hot Import Nights and they looked at the GX20, they didnt say who made it or when it was going to be on the market. I think that episode was about 3 or 4 months old.....

9k and it STILL makes next to no torque.

 

but it carries a 12month or 12,000 mile warranty!

 

Damn, you can get a K20a swap for just about that much..... I would rather have a K series swap over that (any K series) anyday. Just my .02.

 

for that much could u like turbo a b18c and get more hp n tq?

 

but u dont get a warranty... thats what this motor has goin for it!

 

damn i always 4get bout the k20

I doubt too many people have that either. Plus youd be up 70 hp on a US spec K20a and wouldn't have all the headaches of a K series swap....

I see where your coming from. Thanks to you I now have two options! What a helper outter! lol j/k

 

this has been discussed to death lol, it comes down to this, for 9g's u get the same you could...if not more...out your own project, but u just get the 12mth warranty,

 

is it just the block n head or does it come as a complete swap?

 

Pretty sure it's a complete engine. I just realized you need a transmission too though. There goes another 1000 on it.

Just read you can run a 13.4 in a 2600 lb car. I'd be willing to bet you can run much lower times than that with it. Hell, an ITR in a 2600 lb car can run mid 13s with a decent driver.

 

well i knoe my friend put 10k into a n/a b18c1 including the swap n install and he was running 13.5, so i guess its worth it if u got the $ except gas is gonna be a bitch

 

what's the displacement of this engine?

 

1.974 liters

 

so it's a 2.0

 

i think its pretty badass. 270hp at 7800 rpms and 185ft-lbs at 6000 rpms, you can't beat that even with a n/a K20. matter of fact, i did just finish watching it on Spike. Gotta love the car shows
