questions about Honda B series, K series, etc.

GE sleeved 2L B good for 70psi boost 1200 hp what now

:eek4: That’s damn impressive.

@vw16vcabby

b series is proven. trannys have their gremlins, but what fwd 4 banger tranny dont?
k series is where it is at imo. cost more now, and more work. but a nice all motor setup that will run 11’s w/ bolt ons and ecu w/ oem reliability–whats not to like?
figuring the cost of a k24block/type s head w/ the civic si 5 spd/axles/ecu to be around 3300 all said and done. still working out some small parts which will nickle and dime. but for 4k i can be into the bulk of the swap.

Wray and I were taking. K series interests me, but it seems like there’s more knowledge and parts around about B series. This is the first time I’ve ever tried anything like this. I’ve built a 2.3 Ford HSC motor, but never a high boost/high compression app.

@rusty240det

you find me any H series tranny that can handle power and shit like a B series, then maybe i’ll say it’s a decent motor.
i think sailor pretty much summed it up as far as i feel, except i want to boost a K-series in a hatch/integra.

eg + Kboost = mucho dinero in turbo + tuning on top of Sailor’s estimate, but it would be really sweet. Big cube + high volume of boost…

@wrayzor

time and money are the questions you need to ask yourself before making a decision

Which is why I’m posting questions like this and talking to people who blow these up like it’s their job

@ZEXaccord

“If you were going to build a Honda motor, which series would you use and what parts would you use in that series?”

…not what I want to do: I’d like to hear all the angles so I get a good enough picture for what I will eventually do and understand the ins-and-outs of the various things that could be done.
