another thing is... the R18 motor's not a race engine, neither is the k20z2... what point are you trying to prove?
What defines race engine? a dry sump setup with custom profile cams, with forged pistons, rods crank, ecu etc etc.....???? That to me is a race engine, not a b-series or K-series motor
Serious thread is serious!
The Eg will be faster, and better around corners in the dry because its so light.
In the wet you would have more weight to the ground in the Fd so you wont wheel spin so much at take off and less likely to fall off the road around corners.
my bad, wrong term - you are right, nothing's a race engine in stock form.
I meant say that it's not a performance engine. This comparison is like comparing a D series to B series.
spot on.... cannot compare the two... unless u work the R18, it will never be as capable as the b18, despite being newer... how ever the K20z, although it was never designed as a sports motor, it can be modded to be like the sports variant K20, but than again any motor can lol
^it actually is, the D died out in the 7th gen civic and R came in the 8th gen civic. the R engine is nice to drive with for a daily though, has good torque: something i miss.
