thechink Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 (edited) all that money spent on the b20 frankenstein conversion is pointless. dont get me wrong i would love one but your better off sticking with the 1.8 b18c6/4 or r whatever it is. they got the thickest sleeves i have heard snooping round the honda forums. the b20's suffer from det or summit. although i could be completely wrong. just an insight.although they sound awsome!!!! maybe i might build one for the ek.

I'd agree there isn't much point in going B20 if you are already running a B18, but for the Civic boys it's very good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arnt the conversion kits for k20 engines like £3000? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
