B20b vs K20a

[EG5]

oh...you can't find one...ic...
DC2 and EG is a total diff car though...diff chasis...

Yea, Dyno show nothing...the real show is when u run the car...totally agree with you...

tons of EG ran 10s with b20

so just stay with the mighty B i suppose?

[EG5]

But one thing is that, Tuning of the car is very important...

just for example...Mines GTR...comparing to other company like esprit etc, Mines still leads yet they got the lowest hp...so, i guess sometime HP doesn't mean so much unless you have really fine tuning....

[pgclee]

Fine tuning plays a big part i say....Haha...
You got the hi HP figure...sooo...

[EG5]

everyone and his mum knows about tuning is important

[pgclee]

ohhh....ic...u know that as well...
then don't say a small 10-12k doesn't produce 140kw....

[EG5]

yeah in your happy dyno .

man talk is cheap show some timeslip to back it up (seems like you have something up your sleeve)

[pgclee]

no la....your car is the fastest EG ard...may b i'll see you on the strip someday...

[pgclee]

by the way...i have nothing to show u...

[pgclee]

and how much u modify again? 30k?

[blackdc2]

ohhh....ic...u know that as well...
then don't say a small 10-12k doesn't produce 140kw....

you might see 135kw with 10-12k

money doest go far

header - 1400
high flow cat + cat back - 1000
good intake (mugen) - 1000
computer - 2000 + tuning
cams - 1200
valve springs - 600
head gasket - 300
retainers - 300
cam gears - 500
head gasket - 300
gasket kit - 200
head service - 300

already over $9000 going by my rough prices and we havent paid for labour yet. havent got the car tuned and havent touched the bottom end.

nor has their been any head porting done

From the numbers i have seen with similar setups, you should be looking at around 135kw.

OK , if we are going to play list the parts prices, here goes:

all USED prices:

b20b8 bottom end - 500
b16a head - 400
4-1 headers & 2.5 cat - 800
ITR valve train - 750
cam gears - 300
ITR intake + bored TB - 700
VAFC - 300
flywheel - 350
FPR - 150
4250

NEW parts prices:

HG - 130
VTEC conversion kit - 120
ARP fasterners - 300
OEM freshparts for engine - 500
tuning cam gears - 350
tuning VAFC - 350
1800

labour = DIY

so for your $6000 - there is an easy 125kW lightly tuned at Mt Druitt there...

and with used parts, saves crazy amounts of cash,

up the ECU to full stand alone, combined with long and hard tuning session, and you will see close to 140kW...

and with 140kW you will be doing low 13 sec passes in a 1000kg chassis...

obviously using non-OEM cams, intake and headers might improve your chances at getting your 140kW+,

but i have never tried this, so cant state this with certainty...

K series is better, you are talking about 10 years difference in technology..
