I am thinking about just swapping in a ITR B18C in my eg and try to find a 88 HF for the K-series build I am going to do.

Naa I had H-series in a couple of cars like 6 years ago. I am not a fan of them. Only thing I would consider is a EURO R with H2B ITR tranny.

- Wed Apr 09, 2008 8:26 pm #49808 My friend who has building Hondas since the early days (way way before Fast and Furious) says the B is still the best motor for max power. He has a H22 turbo in his 9 sec race EG but that's just cuz it was in there when he bought it and he doesn't want to start over from scratch. The tranny has a spool and some hardcore axles so...

You know you can buy a complete aftermarket B series engine, right? Not just the block, but the head too. You can get them up to 2.2 liters. Endyn can build you an aftermarket B that is superior to the B18C5.

You could go with the F like Bisi.

But if it's a daily driver then it's the D all day long.

Had a built Endyne motor... No matter what you can't compare the numbers from a K-series to a B-series. I am a fan of the B-series but I know that they have way less potential than the K-series. Shit the valves stock are 3mm and 2mm larger. Thats stock. If you want to make more than 250WHP on a b-series you have to get oversized valves. Thats only one thing to compare. The list goes on.

In the END the K-series is on top. But to be honest that doesnt do anything for me. I am building both cause I believe B-series is the true heart transplant for Hondas. But I also want a REALLY FAST STOCK CAR, this is why I am building a Kswap for that project.

This disscussion will never have a good ending. Some many peope hate on K-series but I honest dont believe you can until you have one and actually take the time to understand the comparison between the two. If you have built numerous B-series and than swap in a stock K-series you will notice the smooth powerband from stock also you will notice power at 3000 RPM which the B-series lacks. The list goes on.

My true opinion is, PICK ONE AND STICK WITH IT OR BUILD BOTH AND HAVE PATIENCE AND MONEY.
