Don't compare it to cast iron American metal blocks... B18c and k24 don't weigh that much different

How about increasing bore/stroke on k20?
mugen has done it already with their RR. 2.2 Litre Stroker kit on the JDM K20A
180kw

Is the kit available for purchase? It's probably a huge rip off anyway. I'm sure another company would make a kit for it too
2.4l bottom end??
I think some of the B16B internals might fit into a B18C, but B16A I doubt it.
D17 SOHC crank definitely fits into the D16 SOHC block so you can run a D17Y1/Y8 etc while it's registered as a 1.6. WOTAM though, and nobody would be able to realise how 'cool' your setup is <lol>
Just get a real stroker kit with new pistons etc...
You can put a 89mm B20,GSi Crank into the B16B making it a ~1.9L
back on topic.. 140kw would be pretty hard to get without good increases to compression to run agro cams..
best cams u can run without high comp pistons would be ~bspec (with matching valve train). Expect 120-130kw depending on dyno.
Question should be "Will a 140kw B series beat a 140kw K series? "
Shall we put a poll up? LOL.
