the k series engines are somehow more expensive i think as they are newer than the b series engines..try the b series if u have the chance and if u have the extra cash..try on the k24!!
i'd say if you already have an b18c7 ; stick to the b18c7 internal worked..
cheers dude
if money aint an issue go with k24/k20 ;D all depends on ya budget
Someone needs to do more reading,
Try going through the Noob forum a bit more - been covered many times!
the only way to tell is to ask someone on the forums if they can take you for a spin in there k20/24 converted civic. So then you can feel the difference
yeh someone take me for a ride
tell us your budget first.
k20/24 are newer engines will cost approx. 10g? give or take.
There are new technologies used here hence giving you the options of mods that you cant do with the b series.
as Q ball said...read up!!
my opinion k20 if you got the money yo!
well i this is the thing i got the b18c7 in my car right now imma go dyno tune it with dyno and after go eastern creek and denz compare it with the k20a/24a
sounds goodQuote:

What exactly you mean by b18c7 all internals? Is it an actual b18c7 motor or a normal B series with type r internals?Quote:

Coz to me I dont see any reason why wud any1 bother opt for a relatively still expensive B18CR motor then crank it open particularly the bottom end n replace with aftermarket parts (i wud only touch the head if its my b18cr). You might as well start with d cheaper options of going B20 or even a stroked B16. Or simply boost your R motor (best bang for buck for HP).
Put it this way, a well built internals B Series motor w/ I/H/E/ECU is comparable to Stock Internal K20A2 with I/H/E+KPRO HP wise (between 140kw atw maybe less) so guessing a well built K24/20 frank wud b somewer 160kw+ atw (knowing that a stock internal K24A3 with shyt headers pumps 140kw atw). I dont have personal experience driving a well built B series nor K20A2 I/H/E/KPRO. But i have both driven a stock DC2R and DC5R and I tell yah, TORQUE of K series pwns B series. Im a strong bliver of TORQUE wins RACES.
B series do not get as much gains to bolt ons compare to K series.
like what wud everydbody say, all comes down as to what your budget is.
You need to budget at least 12G+ for K swap. Sell your B18C7 for around 5G's+ and all you need is another 6-7G's and u can do K swaps. Or Put that 6-7G's to the B18C7 (id boost it for that money 6-9psi)
