Power expectations from Fully built b18c7

[Vvvtec]

Cost and also probably the downsides that J/C series swaps present, and the K series doesn't, such as the poor weight-distribution J and C swapped cars would have, thus killing handling ability. For a drag car, they'd be mad swaps. If the op REALLY wanted to be different there's always that option.

Here's a funny thought - maybe it's not ALL about power. If it was, we would all be running turbos and superchargers, right? You guys can argue all you like, but K series will never match the rawness, charisma and sound of the B series in my opinion.

On other forums, people are congratulated for being different with their engine choices. Sure, in the past, fully built b18s were not rare. But these days they certainly seem to be and this not surprising with all the pro K-series discussion doing the rounds. I acknowledge there are advantages to going a K series motor, but this guy did not even ask Ozhonda's opinion on this. Regardless you have gotten all your opinions across so leave him alone now. I say good on you mate and good luck

regardless if its gets owned by a k20 the k20 can get ownded by a f20c i know the b18 cant produce what the k20. but surely u can get more then 220kw turbo b18, didnt that bloke with the plates IEVAQU8 get 220kw?

Why did a F/I K24 beat a F/I f20c and a N/A k24 (damo)/N/A k20 (nick) beat the other n/a f20c's and even a supercharged f20c at honda nationals then? lol

First up, Thread jacker much? maybe start your own thread discussing your questions so it doesnt seem so confusing.
Benson was obviously talking about a naturally aspirated B series in his post to ekvtir-t... If you cannot read the section you are in
it says ALL MOTOR.
If your after B18C turbo suggest you post your own thread in the forced induction forum
BTW K Series has more potential for power than F20C, thats why this dude did a k24 swap onto his 2000

Has anyone factored in built motors aren't always great or reliable?
Just from my own personal experience and those around me. I've seen oem motor out live built motors but not only that. Oem motors see more track time because the built ones are not without their issues. So that fact alone relies heavily on who builds it.
I'd be uneasy if that was the case and had to spend 12-15k on a build.

But judging by some of the comments in this thread. A fool and his money are quickly departed. Some of you have so much money but not enough sense to make change.
Don't mind me, it's just the jelly talking.

exactly, and that's why there's those who trailer their car to the track and those who drive it there!
