the k20/k24 is 10x the motor the b16 ever was.
its also 10x more money then a rebuilt b16 -
It's also 10 years newer. People need to realize that.
Your run of the mill B16 was produced between 1990-2000. That's 10 years worth of motors sitting out there.The K series motors have only been out for 2-3 years now which is why cost is high. You don't just run into them at junk yards.

If i remember correctly, don't hte K series motors use pretty high compression?
Joel why are you even thinking about this, you've got youself in to the probe already, a dirt bike, the vigor, the last thing you need is another unfinished project!
Get one of em done!
The K Series motors as stated above are hella expensive, and not something that you can just drop in. Also, the last thing you'd want is to throw a big shot of N2O on a high compression motor... honda motor or not, they are only so strong

The only thing for the K series that would make the overall cost worth it would be going with an all motor setup. The cylinder heads are amazing on these motors. Supposedly stock they flow almost as well as a heavily ported b series head.

If I had the money to do a K swap, I'd be all over it. THe only thing that's keeping me away from the K right now is that I have too many spare B-series parts to even give up on the Bseries lineup. Everyone thinks that the K20 swaps are expensive because they're thinking of the JDM type R transplants. You can find the k20a2 type S transplants locally for around the same price as the current b18c1 right now. YOu don't get the little bit of bump in compression and more aggresive cams, but that can all come later. With 200hp stock on the k20a2 it's not bad. I'm guessing that'll be around 170 something that actually goes to the ground. In the 170 range, you're gonna be pretty quick in the 1320, probably the same as a hatch with an h22, but with more potential

im sure with normal e/h/i you could put down less than 13 no problem.
