K series NA or B series Turbo???

[fatboyz39]

Most of the fastest track cars in Australia are B-series. Go figure. Just look at the proconcepts civic. One is a stroked b16a and the other k20a. Both similar setups, b-series car is always quicker.

k26 FTW! LOL

hows that going btw lol

[eg5civic]

see this is what will send me nuts when it comes time to get off my p's and do my motor build... which is in 1 1/2 years but i'm already saving
b16b is base so options are

The temptation of turbo is huge... 1.8L gt35/40
stock k20 is pure porn/baller
high comp + built head b20 is also a very likely option

circuit car that will be street driven (ie cage would go in it)

this is all my future plans... some might say dreams XD

But in saying that 90% of the cars that are tracked are b series. K is a new thing over here and most of them are un opened. I think over the new few years the shift will move to K as its a better base to start from, now days it takes a built B to beat a standard K. But all this aside current standings are B is better, you only need to look at your success and Hi Power Racings CRX. Hopefully 12PIN will shake things up abit.

That is true. K-series are a great motor. Can produce some stupid numbers and have a great gearbox. We might fly the k series sooner or later, jsut a matter of time.

So in regards to the OP would you say to the kid move forward with everyone else or stay at a era that will soon be phased out?

It all depends on the budget your willing to set for the project.

I can relate to the dilemma as I knew the K series engine would have been more potent in my track EG but that would of added almost 2 - 3 grand more to the build; which was money needed to balance out the rest of the car in terms of suspension, roll cage, brakes etc.

So the OP really needs to sit down and do the sums, talk to their builder/parts supplier and figure out roughly how much they want to spend; or can afford to spend and cover all the parts you need to modify your car to get it doing what you want it to do weather it be circuit racing or drag racing.
