Which is better b20 or k20

K20A is today and tomorrow and this would mean there would be more potential for tuning. Euro II or I? I do agree with most people here that the K is the wave of the future, however I would not have anyone in AU port the heads just yet. Mods, how about a WWF corner? NA power. If you are the owner of HKS, Yes, may be Then for those GTR's who spent like k Ive given you some pricing, why dont you reply with some information and leave the bullshit to one side for something new for a change??

Lets put it into context, if I am not mistaken, page1 was more focussed on power. James did those figures on ELF race fuel too, so why does that piece of info not get mentioned also? Looks like yet another argument in the works, which i was soo keen to avoid. I think it applies here to you this time. Ive never seen James' motor so i cant comment on his build, but lets say if you snoop enough, its amazing what you can find.

Credit to James, he's done exceptionally well, but even he will tell you there's more power to be had. Where should he be looking for extra power, try vavle angle configuration.

Black Nitride Coated valves dissipate heat better than Stainless. Try correct Micron depth of honing process for extra ring seal. Try lightening mass in valve train Correct piston preperation. How many engines have I seen that dont round the sharp edges? Is it only me who feels the import performance market here in AU is still underskilled and underdeveloped? It really doesnt matter, if you think it cant be done, we'll then I guess you'll never try do it I guess we'll just agree to disagree. Yes iv spent heaps more than 12k on my engine way way way more than that Fact i ran my June 2 back then i had kw September , 2 years ago autosalon, i had kw at the wheels July autosalon kw at the wheels at autosalon Fact i hav't been racing for over 2.

Fact i hav't been racing for a long time now due to the fact i hav'nt solved traction issues which hindered my performance 2. Fact there is plenty more left in my engine, our problem October last year resulted in us not making any effective power after 26psi of boost.

Fact my new head is almost finished, along with a new bottom end and completely new setup, try try try again until you get it perfect ; Regards James. But yeah if I was given 12k to build my own engine, I could do it engine only ie long block no manifolds etc easy. Although yes It took many engines and many setups and lots more money than that to know what I know now about my engine. Short version, yes its possible.

Regards James. Wake up And lets say you can get T88 kit for bucks into GTR You ever thought about standup commedy? ProECU and pgclee, grow up a little. Although there is good info here, this thread has already gone off topic so hows about we try and bring it back to the subject of b20 vs k Also, the discussion was about at car doing 11 sec passes JUST if you know what your doing!!

Torque figues of each engine? You would have to compare dyno figures aswell as gearing, etc etc.. I'd pick a K20A given i ran B20 will have more torque than K One engine was modified the other was stock.. Then compare chucks B20 with my K20, since mine has cams, I'm 1. Just my personal choice though. K20a is Honda's future and will be around well after the B's die. But take into account how new the K-series engines are IMO they have alot more potential.

Some of the all motor results these things are doing are amazing. Stock B20 in EG vs. However, most of them are closely related to the K20A2 or K21A3 engines.

However, the main differences lie in the valvetrains as well as VTEC implementation. The K20 2. The Honda K-series also includes the 2. Each engine has its own application and features. Honda introduced a replacement for its mass-produced K20A1 engine in It was the K20Z2 modification. The new 2. It is naturally aspirated and has a higher engine output.

Honda discontinued production of the original K20 engine in Production was put on hold for some time, but the K20C1 engine was introduced in This turbocharged version was only available on the European market and allowed Honda to produce a more powerful engine.

The K20C2 gasoline engine is a 2. The crankshaft and pistons are lightweight and have a There is also a new cylinder head that has optimized combustion chambers and i-VTEC.

Although it may seem strange to use K20 parts, they have superior camshafts and valve springs to the K A K20A2 will likely have around whp if you add the usual breathing upgrades such as a decent intake and a smooth exhaust. The K20 is much easier to achieve this than the B18, which required more modifications to reach whps.

Simply fit bolt-on mods such as an RRC intake manifold , an FD2 throttle body, cold air intake system, header and a 2. This setup is ideal for street use.

A knocking sound coming from the engine can indicate that the valves need to be adjusted. If this has been done for too long, it can cause wear to the exhaust camshaft. You may need to replace the camsh shaft. The mounts should be the first to be checked if you feel vibrations coming from the front of your car. After checking the mounts, it may be possible to find an extended timing chain in highly worn engines. The K20 engine is essentially an aluminum engine.

The block is made of aluminum and has steel cylinder sleeves. The cylinder head is also made from aluminum. This engine was specifically designed for the JDM Japanese Domestic Market , and was the first K-series to hit the market in for the model year. It was in production from to It features balancing shafts and high compression pistons Dual valve springs are included in the valvetrain. There are also cc fuel injectors. The cylinder head features head porting that was made at the factory.

This was again based on the K20C1 for the U. However, it has a 9. A supercharger can be used to add whp to your mods. You could be able to expect even more power from a Garrett GTR, stage 2 cams, valve springs, and retainers.

The K20 engine was strong for its size. It used the most recent technology and sound engineering design to create an engine that could last a long time. The Honda K20 was first produced in The original K20 engine family was in production until and then it was out of production for some time. The K20C1 was introduced in The K-series was a great choice to replace the beloved B-series, even though it was not popular at first with those who loved it.

After this, it is worth checking if maintenance or replacement is required. This only applies to K24A series engines. What makes a 1,hp Kpowered NSX catch your attention?
