Not sure if it's a "haters going to hate" kind of deal, but if you invested the money for a K swap into a B series you could have a pretty nice B series. In your case where your car came with a d16z6 at best, I can see that you would want to go K, whereas people with a 99-00 Si, 94-01 Integra, Del Sols, etc I don't see the justification.
The justification is it's a better platform to start with. Part for part, the k series will always put down more power than a b series. Prices are starting to come down on k series parts as well.
The b series is a dead end technology. Yes, they are putting down some insane #'s now, but it has come down to squeezing that last bit out that they can. How much more boost before she blows is what's happening actually.
It's amazing the power a stock k series longblock can put out. Sleeving isn't really even needed until you push more than 700hp!
The biggest problem with the k series is the tranny's though. You'll have just as much, if not more, into a built tranny as you do into the motor unfortunately. But when you are serious about making power, the trans should be built regardless.
One must experience a k swap!Statistics: Posted by CopyLifted — Thu Sep 10, 2015 10:32 pm
