I have a 00 em1 with 65k on it. How much would it cost to build a reliable V8 killer. It doesnt have to be with my b series, I am open to all ideas.

 

I say go k series... with cams and bolt-ons you could make a easy 240whp... depending on the tune and other bull.... also if your cars hevay... might want to think about losing some weight.... lighter seats... battery..etc.

 

well i have em1 and i am thinking turbo but I might just build and engine I am not sure which way to go will a k20 with upgraded internals beat most v8's I wouldnt think so

a k20 with bolt ons and cams in your civic probably would not beat most cars with lightly modified V8s at the track. by lightly modified i mean bolt ons and some tuning, with which most mustangs/camaros would be in the low 13s/ high 12s depending on the car/driver. your best bet (in my opinion) would probably be to build the b16 you have in there now with low compression parts, and boost it. with a good build, a decent sized turbo and a good amount of boost, with some slicks and an lsd trans, you could easily run 12s, possibly 11s.

 

i am doing turbo, I was told that I can do about 320hp on stock internals on a b16a2 with good tune? Any opinions

 

bump

yes, your on the right path. forget about the K, it will cost 2 to 3 times as much and will not be as fast as a boosted b. pm me if you need a turbo kit, i gots the hook up either way good luck.
