With slicks on. Most K swaps run mid 12s on streets. Look at your setup yonas, un opened K running 11's, compared to un opened H running high 12's. I have nothing against that kids time, its fast. Just the K's seem faster and thats what the OP is after.
So keen, buying head today or tomorrow. Then just got to sort out the bottom end. Should be 3 months away, just need money.
H2B in yonas shell will run high 11's. Yonas shell is very light and setup very well.
Kswaps run mid 12's? show me some example on real street tyre. Not like those micky thomspon street radial shit.
man what are you girls even arguing about. K > H2B, but H2B is a cheaper option for ALMOST the same performance of the K. It's as simple as that.
Just for perspective sake, wasn't there a stock B18CR EG around a while back running high 12's on slicks? Just goes to show, there is potential in which ever option you choose to take, just a matter of how much you wanna spend.
Agree K > H2B. Not doubting it at all. But it terms of performance there on the same level.
Bobby cant get teh fact that a h2B swap is just is or if not faster then a K20 swap.
imagine K box with a B or H series engine...
Just out of curiosity has anyone track raced a K series and a H2B and which one is a more balanced chassis ?
Bseries is more balanced.. i tracked my old Ek with the k24, not bad balanced but the B felt better
I personally wouldnt circuit race a h2b
We've seen numerous dc2rs with k20a running high 12s in street tyres, and they are much heavier than the EG. So the H2B is good but they are definitely 1 level below the K...
IF your on a tight budget, h2b is definately cheaper..
If your a baller and have moeny to spent, K series is a winner
what are those hi-comp boys running ? isnt their H22 EG runnin like 11's ? is that a h2b aswell ? if not then i cant imagine what kinda times they'd be doing with a b box
nah zico they still running the h22a gearbox with a lsd with customized final ratio
B18 Turbo man...I got my Ek4 n/a about 4 days ago, missing the turbo on my evo so dearly, there is something about the way a turbo sounds..when people hear you throttle up and suck some air down you see them look an think "S**t whats in there :S"
i would go for K20A+K24 block+ecu tuned up....cost you around 15-18k to done it but you will get plenty of torque and power to chop plenty cars......beside the power is ~280whp
I wish simply swapping the 20 head onto the 24 bottom end got 280whp. No need to build motors then.
i wish i could get that much !
im only 79hp farr off it..
time for some nos yO!
Yeah i must have lost 85hp in my k20 bottom end.
i`m going for a k20a..set me back around 17.5grand..thats just engine wise as brakes/suspension already done...end of the day a stock k20a has lots of potential..
17.5k? Your getting jipped!
hahaha might be more then other places but the guy who is doing it has his own ek k20a and he is building it to same specs as his..all top parts plus upgraded axles hosing etc etc
17.5k could get you a built K from the US and the swap. hell i will give you the k swap dvd so you can do it yourself.
shat 17.5k!
buy a jdm k20a for 9k, and spend 8.5k on quality new parts!
after everything i am just going to buy an ek with the k20 already done :P...
may drop some money in it after a while!
had a look at a b18 turb but doesnt have the same feeling of torque that the k20 produces :)
sorry to hi jack guys but is there a huge difference between the jdm k20a and the aus k20a? worth the extra money?
yes worth the money to pay extra for a JDM k20
all i can say is u gotta love all engine motors. and the look on the other guys face is priceless lol
Bump this shit back up, what's the news on k's over the past 2 years?
well Nikos owner of k20.org has sold the site to pursue his own business venture i think making K series www.superiorvalvemotion.com
What type of numbers are na k series and the turbo boys making? What sort of 1/4 mile times are people getting nowdays?
Damien hit 1:03 in a NA K24 at wakefield in a stripped EG
where does it say street racing on there read it thanks for ur 2 cents not to dead if someone poswted on it
It will be old when we start doing discussion about what's beter k series or j series swaps :p
yeah tell me when j swaps become common
Don't think j swaps will ever be in the same league as k series.
Especially in Australia.
engine sticks out bonnet
weight completely alters the handling characteristics
no manual gearboxes to be found in Australia
No manual ecu's in Australia
Wiring worse than needle in a hay stack
There not even that fast the ones done in America , the effort is simply not worth it .
K series are really well designed and advanced technology engines
^ well said.
thanks xb-16-ax because im sure that u have never raced any one and im sure you stick to the speed limits every time you drive and yes bra' i have seen j swaps not very good for the cops a motor sticking out of ur hood
Thanks bud. I would only race in a safe and closed environment. My car is not fast enough to race on the streets.
Jswaps are great if u have the cash and only have the intention of 1/4 drags or circuit racing (safe environment).
Edit: ive got a friend up in QLD currently EJswapping a STI motor to a EK civic hatch.
Wtf ?? Yeh i know right!! Cat wait to see this go.
