- Today, we're talking about Hondas... more specifically Honda Engines! Some say that the K series motor is the greatest, most versatile Honda engine of all time. K-Swaps have become popular amongst tuners in various community? Have an idea for a crazy K-Swap? (Like a K24 Engine in a Ferrari F430?) Chances are... someone's already done it! Join us on a things like power, efficiency, aftermarket support, etc.
There are a lot of K and B series engines out there, found across different chassis platforms out there. Including the K20A, K20A2, K20A3, K20Z1, K24A1, K24A2, K24A3, K24A4, K24A8. B Series engines include the B16A, B16A2, B16B, B17A1, B18A, B18B1, B18C, B18C1, B18C5, B20A, B20B, B20Z, B20B4. So where do you lie on the comparison between the K-Series and the B-Series engines?

Everyone got on me for buildinging a B18b1/B16 head $20k boosted B series LsVtec motor for my 95 EJ1 coupe. I am 58 and period correct is very important to me and being able to ramp up my tune to 600 if i want i really dont have to worry about getting gapped to frequently.
You had it right, don't listen to the naysayers. If period correct is important, that's the way to go. 👏👏👏
Scott wants an OEM+, but period correct build. Something you can daily drive but get brownie points at an event or car show. For motorsports, K series is the way or even the new L15 motors.
wow love this podcast I personally owned a Da9 integra gs and it's lsv turbo at first I wanted to go k but same stuff those b series lsv turbos sounds great 👍
the MAIN REASON WHY THE B WASNT SWAPPED AS MUCH AS THE K IS BECAUSE THE ROTATED BACKWARDS TO NORMAL TRANSMISSION s
Love both engine's but I am much more nostalgic for B series. K is definitely more powerful but IMO B series sounds better and looks better in the engine bay!
it's the exposed belts on the B series that does it for me. 👀
There are a few b20vtec turbo and b18c turbo 89ish mr2 cars that are pretty quick also
I've got a b20vtec with a type r crank foraged rods type r head cams and I love it tuned on a haltec elite in a 93 da9 I will be doing a k24a2 in my 96 civic as I want both for different reasons I will be boosting both
i really love the way the b series sounds over the k series
Man I’m surprised the back and forth misinformed knowledge between the two. This needs a re-do
just a conversation. We DO NOT claim to be experts in Honda engines.
Thanks I won’t be watching this video as I paused this ad before starting
I had a b20v on a gsr trans with a tuner2 cams a bisi 4-1 header with a 8lb flywheel on a s300 made like 190 whp! I needed more power so went k20z3 head on a k24 block with a buncha goodies
U need pistons and cams for a b20v to get to 220-230hp.
@@vebzuia4336that’s my set up and on my crx running 6.9 all motor no k can keep up all motor
I ported my runners to be big like the K and oversized valves with angel throt breaths more than a stock K....I bought b18c and saved money and just port and polished and valves and valve job runs hard
sounds dope. Best of both worlds right there.
@@konigwheels yes indeed it is
I definitely think they are both great engines... i have a sleeved/built b18c5 turbocharged eg hatch... 518 to wheels...i bought the car new in 1993 😮...lol fun stuff that i built many years ago. As for the debate, I do feel nastalgia for the old school b series stuff... but my biggest preference for the b series stuff is due to that i feel that imo the 80s/90s era honda (and toyota) products were the most reliable and best built...of pretty much any cars ever manufactured til this day. I think it was a "sweet spot" for automobiles. I work on many different cars and bikes as im a mechanic and I dont think the newer honda products are at "that" level...imo no modern vehicles are at that level. Not that the newer honda stuff is necessarily bad...just as i said not at the level it was. Also wondering why in the still shot where yall show 2 engines and say b vs k during the the talking (one maroon and other red valve covers)... theyre both b series lol...haha found it kind of funny. Thanks for the content.
Period correct stick with B. budget daily driver that's fast go K. Went 12 .0 stock K24 Type s 6spd. My kid drove that integra everyday went to school with it. The weak link on K is the transmission. We spend money on the transmission and the stock K went 11.5
I think budget is the major factor .
But I think the b series has more of a nasty unique vibe and specific sound .
I think it’s almost like 1j vs 2j yea the 2 j is better but damn the 1j sound crazy .
I love my lsv turbo but k is killer
Lmao people only like the b for sound. Im probably getting old but I prefer the nice mellow tone from an exhaust and not the obnoxious fart cannons 😂
obnoxious fart cannon hahaha.
The fastest Honda is speedfactory awd B series their is a reason why they use the b series platform instead of the k series in there fastest car
their running everything billet, there is a 1700hp k series awd thats about to hit a 6 second pass, speedfactory is running 2100whp and did a 6.91
How about no war
K is good for NA
B is good for Boost
I love both motors but when it comes down to reliable and easier to maintenance for power wise B is more simple.
K is the easiest to go NA making 300whp swap to a different shell
It’s kinda like a pick ur poison because K turbo ur gonna either blow up or tranny take a shiet on u no joke FR. B for NA like PMR/LSV/B20V its great but it dont last cuz u will drop a valve or spun bearing. Just my opinion lol
can someone explain to me as to why more guys are using b series for boost, is there something good that the b series has for boost than a k series or is it only because of the cost?
Same im still torn between the two also but i hear that the b series loves boost tho
less compression is better for boost
Um in the process of collecting for a kswap
Nice! Let us know how the build goes!
K24a is jdm, k24a2 is tsx
The D series in the thumbnail 😅
H SERIES 💪🏽 the original big block ,& predecessor of the K24
i VTEC changed the game, cam phasing
god i truly wish i understood y’all, im learning :|
Learn with us! If you have ANY questions, feel free!
B series till I'm dead, I dd a 99 hatch ls-v, ac, ps, I'm loving life. I drive this car on Rd trips and beat on it at tail of the dragon.
Great hot take
B series all day
