K series NA or B series Turbo???

[jayeg]

Hi,
Im getting onto my full licence soon so i have a motor budget of about 10-15g just on motor & breaks and everything else inc suspension and interior separate,
So i ant decide between K series NA and B series Turbo i want to hear everyones opinions if you have own one or both! Which is better, the base motor for B series would be B18c, i know NA K series is reliable but can Turbo be reliable too???
Which would quicker on street/drag??
For $15800 i was quoted for B18c everything inc ecu, motor and exhaust i would make safely 280kws and for K swap around 15g.
I know that both are fast but i just am after opinions and ideas

kw@wheels is not the only things to be considered down the 1/4 mile.

If u want to go faster down the straight i would recommend buying a skyline and doing that up with the remaining money.

i'm a vtec man only honda's for me and i dont think on my budget i could build a skyline faster then a eg with k20 or b series turbo and i wanna beat people in a car they dont think is going to be fast every body thinks skylines are fast

N/A K-series.

If you wanna boost later on down the line, boost the K.

That would be FTW.

You wouldnt need to boost it anyway.

lol if he boosted a k series the eg would just be shredding his tyres

personally i think b18c7 turbo....

u will probably have traction problems but thats my opinion... coz u can always upgrade the turbo or high flow it etc... lots more mods to a turbo enine than to a N/A

good luck.. watever u do put ur car in the build section

thanks for the help its hard to choose, both fun and both quick

Obviously a K20 is a dam good platform full stop N/A, however with a Forced Induction application you will be able to increase your power output with much less money then a Naturally aspirated application and you car wont remain a pig to drive (lumpy cams etc).

I vote

Boosted B18Cr > K20 N/a

Of course there are pros and cons with both paths.

Tried B18CR + boost couple years ago on our EG hatch
t28 turbo + 7 psi boost
150kw@wheels.

I still prefer Allmotor K20 or K24A swap on EG hatch

Boost will net you more power and less expensive but i have to agree with N/A K20/24 becuase of traction and driveability
