k24 bottom with k20a the way to go.
k26 FTW! LOL
D-series TURBO is the shizzle these days
so a turbo b-series isn't good for track?
i'm contemplating over whether i should turbo my b18c7 or go k20.
i want to do some track but also drag, which one do you guys think is best for me?
Spend the money on more important part of the car to make it suitable for track. For more power ill go for a well built B20vtec
Think of it this way ...
The turbo is going to give you a real big hit in terms of power but if your going to track race it this power increase also generates a lot more under bonnet heat over time.
Controlling under bonnet temperatures on a track car is the key to getting longevity and performance out of the motor.
Personally I'd consider the B series turbo if you where going to drag race it at night at the occasional test and tune, but I'd never consider this route for circuit work unless you have a substantial budget to forge the motor and add all the necessary cooling hardware.
K20 for sure. Have been in boosted civics and it doesnt compare. The noise and the pull a K20 has you cannot match. plus when you kill something and they expect it to be turbo and you pop the bonnet and its all motor, their facial expression makes it all worth wild.
b-series has a better balance for track as the engine is on the passanger side and this makes for better balance
with a k-series the engine is mounted more towards the drivers side so when you have the driver and the engine all one the one side the balance isn't as good for track work it's more suited for drags
but when you turbo the b-series this changes the things as a turbo makes the b-series less suitable for tight track racing
