120 - 140KW b18cr

[iijjee]

My B18CR has made about 128fwkW on two diff dynos in two diff states.

US Prestige headers, short ram intake, no ps or AC, 2.5" mandrel bent, Microtech.

Look forward to driving a k-swap EG one day (have owned 6 converted EG's!) but even with this power and easy high 13 sec QMile the wheelspin is not ridiculous, even in the wet. First is not the gear to stomp at 5000rpm but the rest of the gears have great throttle response but never need a lot of peddling! I'm guessing, and have seen youtube vids that support this, the K-swap civics are a little less driveable in this respect.

Like any set up, though, the more power, the more driver skill and experience needed!!!

Is this true? My old H22 Civic felt like a big motor strapped to a stiff skatebaord. Is a K20 like this? Or does it feel close to stock, like a B series? Guessing it's more like the H22...?

Just another angle - depending on what you're going to use the car for! Driveability is the reason my car cleans up three quarters of the high powered street cars on hillclimbs and the B18CR has this in spades!!!

Well my experiences with jdm 160kw k20 eg2 , first gear on the street is pretty useless if you use WOT , but feathering the accellerator and planting when traction is gained works well, im running on street legal semis (azenis) seems to grip pretty well, every other gear has great traction. Overall its not as bad as i thought it was going to be, but tyres plays a big role as i swapped my integras wheels on the car to try it out, lol it was a burnout machine, 1st,2nd,3rd frying up.

you suck at driving a B series.

yeah to much power for me~

god damn street racers

Over the year playing around with different Honda engines, the K-series will have to be the funniest and easiest to drive for both daily and track. The B-series just lack the torque, H22a is a little heavy in the front end and has crap transmission.

Once you drive a K-series you'll never look back at the B-series. If you come down to the Honda Nats, ill let you drive my road car with a basic K24 swap

And who said K-series has no vtec roar? I'll let u_mad response to this

[iijjee]

Would love to drve a kswap... One day - when the kids grow up!!!!

I didn't think a 2.4 in an EG or EK (which only ever had a 1.6L max cap) would be legal, even with engineering??? Must be though!

Agreed with this one .
11.82 sec @ 113mph here ( EG hatch + Stock k24a3 with 50 degree vtc , 6 speed dc5r gearbox with bolt on mods , Kpro , Slicks )

what advantages does the dc5r GB have over the standard K24a3 6 speed manual, besides the lsd? still learning my k-series lol

shorter gears 2-6, more acceleration.
does audm dc5r gbox have lsd? i dont think they do.

4.7fd LSD shorter ratio gearbox. Yes it does have LSD, only the fn2r early model audm didn't come LSD and was 6-speed. Accord euro is 5-speed

[damienm]

accord euro is 6 speed

i believe the cl7 came in 5 speed, but cl9 are all 6 speed or 5 speed auto, correct if im wrong

We need a K-series vs B-series discussion thread

More people needs to be educated!
