Everyone has built a b-series motor, so modding is cheap and easy in any form na or turbo. The k-series line is very tempermental. The torque they produce is great, but they are very expensive, there are less parts, not as many poeple have built them, they are harder to work on, and the list of negatives goes on. I build NA Honda motors. I have friends with both k-series and b-series. The b-series in the real world are producing better numbers and faster times. Oh wait, what is used in racing, let's see, that's right, 99% b-series motors. You won't see any k-series motors in dragging na or turbo. The b-series still dominates the track. Someday I don't doubt the k-series will surpass the b-series since it alters both intake and exhaust timing, but as of now, the b-series is still better. Do your research before you bag on someone who does this for a living.
from someone who does what for a living ?? makes up B/S on internet sites to try and look smart ?? you sir are an idiot ... anyone who builds honda motors would know that the k series can completely dominate the b series .... you cant compare price tags on a motor that was put into production over 10 years ago to one that was just released , compare the power output mod for mod ... and take into consideration the k series was just released a few years ago, so yea there is alot more parts available for the b series right now ,and alot more peeps with built up b series motors.... but there are PLENTY of built k series motors hitting ridiculous # ' s with far less work done than a b series would need to hit those same #'s ... I/H/E with hondata can put you into the 13's with a k20a2 , ive seen it done , B series cannot touch that ... k series have a MUCH more useable powerband at almost any RPM , how is that not better ?? just compare the DC5 type R to the DC2 type R , hmmmmm i wonder why the DC5 is throwin down better #'s consistantly ?? from some of the comments youve made earlier you sound like you know very little about cars at all ...
