[RememberingNever]

hmmm...? :confused:

[Whatthatslame]

whats the question?
which one is better?
which is cheaper?

[Honda4Life82]

i'd say K20

[BlkCD5]

K20 if you have the money

[i4_garage]

K20 if u have $$$$$$>......B18c if u also have $$$$$....lol.....D16y8 if u are like me

[eViLMunkey]

K20...

[Humphrizzle]

this isnt really a question and dc5 isnt an engine.

explain yourself FOO

[IntegraXTR]

forget K series, B Series still own!!!!!

[Humphrizzle]

i'd swap a k series in my accord if it didnt cost 10 grand.

[CHADbee]

b18c1 with a strong build and about 12lbs of boost will cost about the same as the k20 stock swap but will own that k yo!

[i4_garage]

i am trying to piece a cheap K swap....lol....under 5k....

buy a whole car my buddy did a k20 type s swap in his crx for 2300..he bought a rsx type s from a junkyard for 3500 wrecked in the rear and sold all the interior out of it making 1200 off the car and getting the swap for 2300 basically

[speedminded]

hmmm...? :confused:

What's the budget? Why are you asking? What's the purpose of the car?

[Humphrizzle]

if you are having someone else install this then you dont deserve either engines.. b18c5 is usually meant for better gearing on auto-x and track courses. the k series engine is just hard as hell to modify the engine bay and mounts so look at spending 10 grand if someone installs it or 7 grand if you do it yourself and set aside about 5 weekends for this project.

[nofive-0]

I know the guy who did his for 2300.

#1 your an idiot to pay someone $10,000 to do this swap. Or any swap for that matter.

#2 You can be frugal and do it for less than 7

#1 you havent priced out a JDM K20 TYPE R swap, cause you are wrong

#2 reread #1

[Vteckidd]

K20 DC5R swaps are going for $5500-6500. Add $1000 for Kpro, $500 for mounts $500 for misc stuff like hoses, belts, etc. then factor in labor, which would be around $1000.

thats right at $10k

>>same method....but adding more aftermarket parts...hihi ...or instead of a wrecked Type S ....be patient and look for a wrecked TSX...

[Vteckidd]

you can find TSX longblocks for $1500, thats really the way to go , 2.4L vtec

[Jdm94Coupe]

if u got 10k b series all the way.....

[F22B2slow]

theres probably more parts for a b18c5 since its been around longer. plus any b series part should be compatible. then again k series are pretty cool. if money ain't no thang then flip a coin.

[JDMracer16]

it doesnt really matter their both bad ass motors, its all about preferance

[eViLMunkey]

If you have the money go k20 or k24

[heystop]

b-series is still cheaper and aftermarket parts are everywhere.that 6 speed tranny sounds tempting though.

[EP3sAreFun]

and LSD if you go JDM

[i4_garage]

K24 from the TSX is the best.....

[eViLMunkey]

Just notice honda is starting to put more k series motors im there cars so the more out there the price will start to drop like it has with the b series

[EP3sAreFun]

K24 from the TSX is the best.....

dont the K24 heads have problems with oil starving at high hp applications?

thought i heard that somewhere, something like because of this they can pull mroe power out of a K20A... i think

[Humphrizzle]

i would swap a k20a depending on the car.. if it was a civic eg or ek i'd do k20.

if it was an integra DA or DC2 i would do b18c5 swap

[eViLMunkey]

I would just use the k in the tegs also

[EP3sAreFun]

I would just use the k in the tegs also

agreed
