Go J series? That's a horrible idea, don't get me wrong they're good motors and he's wrong about practicality. A J series swap makes perfect sense if you want a quick daily driver that can cruise, get good gas mileage depending on the weight of the car, and really pull so that you can merge onto the highway. But racing wise there's not as much support, you'd be competing in a V6 class, and your not as light as you would be in a K swapped car which is what Hondas are good at. Engineering wise the SOHC VTEC in the J series is only on the intake side which means it SUCKS compared to the K series DOHC i-VTEC. As far as maintenance wise a J series that's been shoe horned into a Civic or Integra is going to be about as much fun and easy to work on as a Twin Turbo 300ZX and don't forget you'll probably have to butcher your baby and cut a massive hole in the hood to get it to fit. Not mentioning the real bottle neck of all swaps, parts availability, a manual transmission for a J series swap is about as easy to find as a Virgin in college and a manual transmission with an LSD, which is the one you're going to want with all the torque a J series makes, is even harder to find. The list goes on, the point is there are more cons than pros for a J series swap when compared to a K series that this guy didn't point out simply because he hasn't researched the swap in its entirety. If you want a practical and quick daily that could pull on 80% of what's out there then yeah go J series with an auto swap, it'll be cheap and effective but if you want to build a competitive street/track car then go K. There's a reason all of the Top FWD Time Attack Cars are K powered and not J.
+Jacob Flores Believe it or not J series is used in the lower end time attack classes because in stock or close to stock form it has way better torque/hp because of the displacement. Drag racing is a completely different story so i cannot talk about that. K series i will agree is better in the higher hp range and J is better for the stock-ish swap in an EG/DC. J series is definitely not practical and depending on j choice the intake mani will stick out the hood making it not the most daily friendly. If you want a quick daily just boost it 👌
That's cool I didn't know that. I should mention I was referring to the Top FWD Unlimited Time Attack Cars. You won't necessarily have cut the hood if you have the adjustable Hasport mounts but the you have to choose between ground clearance or hood clearance. Still have to disagree with you when it comes to practicality though, a Auto J swaped Civic or Integra would be very stout on the highway, great on gas, and as long as the swap was done well and with as most OEM parts as possible it should be reliable. I don't know how that's not practical, will it be a little loud? Depending on the exhaust system but other then that an Auto J series should be very tame. The K series is an overall better engineered motor. Who wants to run a boosted D series when you could use that money to pay for a motor swap, and then boost it.
Jacob Flores you'd be surprised how many people constantly comment about how D series is still good/relevant and how you shouldnt doubt it. Nowadays anything is possible. Its all about money to power ratio ( unless you are rich)
Miton Films No I wouldn't because I've seen them, the D series basically has a cult following which has got a few merits, but the cost to power ratio of that motor is too high unless you're rich, blind to the benefits of the other motors available, or just really love the D lol
Jacob Flores the cost of dseries is stupid cheap and you can rebuild a d series and turbo it for under 2000 properly the rebuild kits are cheap and ebay turbo and hit a reliable 300whp for way cheap. ofcourse id still go with the h2b which is my current setup
Actually the H series can be one of hondas most powerful engines, at least in stock form. Ive got a H22A Type S they make 217hp which is pretty great for a stock engine. Yes its heavy and it doesnt make power with bolt ons like a K series would, but man is it a sleeper motor. So quiet in daily driving but once you get over 4000 rpm it screams
i beat the shit out of a 2000 SH, with the H22a4/5spd for 2 and a half years of daily driving had 200k miles on it, windshield and quarters were rotten so i sold it, have another car on the go, just picked up a black 04 TL its auto but 150k miles just a few bubbles, i really would like to build a BB6 though, probably the next project
@@trenton6621 the only D series I find as a good option for performance it's the D16A1 a.k.a the DOHC D series or the B16A non-vtec it's good because it's a DOHC engine while a SOHC D series it's pointless and gutless just like a SOHC F series F20B bluetop and the F20C are great too
@@giancarlolugo9586 I have d15 with d16y8 head p29 pistons, oversized valves and bisimoto x cam valve job port and polish, ported intake manifold, 68mm throttle body, uel header making 180hp, also can run small amount of nitrous and I got a 4.90 final drive
Stock for stock, the j32a2 and the cl-s 6 speed will eat any other swap. Bolt ons and suspension and you have a very manageable 300hp beast. I did my j swap in a ek Civic and it runs mid 12s. Really only took me about 3k, doing all the work myself. It's heavy, and has more torque then necessary for daily uses. But coilovers, traction bar and bushings and you can corner with the rest of them. The hasport mounts are adjustable so you don't have to cut the hood. Makes for the ultimate sleeper. Just my opinion. Been driving my j swap daily for about 3 years. No issues.
I swapped J35Z2 5A/T in my Sentra almost 2 years ago and I love my car now more than ever. The only sad thing is that we don't have that many choices of J series here in Thailand.
Euro r h2b tuned on hondata s300. Sleeper style surprising a lot of people. They don't expect to lose to a 30 year old Honda which is why I love it. The gearing on the b series is what keeps it in the powerband. 4.7 lsd itr trans with plateless kit.
honestly j series puts you in a different class when it comes to racing your a v6 so you go up against a entire different crowd that's why no one goes j series now k series and h2b keep you in the 4 cylinder class.
+Jason Jackson Actually this is very true but....In Global Time Attack you are allowed to do those kind of swaps and stay in street class...but i hear what you are saying
Miton Films maybe on the east coast but on the west v6 class is v6 class bro so when you go j get ready to go.against supras and Grand Nationals and other cars that make way way way more power than that j series. only class I know of on the west is the outlaw class which is a anything goes class but unless your ready to go up against some of the top companies you may wanna stay away from outlaw class
also a v6 fwd class is basically non existent with 4 fwd you have so many options thats why there are so many people in it also if you were to build a car for competitive world time attack not many people would plan to start with a fwd if they had a choice
@@austinvilla6401 more powerful? No. But they make good torque down low, unlike the k series. Also, under a moderate amount of boost they do well, easy to squeeze 350hp out of, on a serious budget. Personally love the Gen 5 prelude I have, and the engine has a strong low noise, rather than the rattle tin can sound of most Honda engines.
my opinion as a J30 accord owner... Go K series if you have the money to do it. J series has almost no aftermarket support compared to K. But im sure sooner or later it will get better.
J30a5 Accord J series are slowly getting a lot of aftermarket support. Just give it a few more years. Current j32a3 accord owner here saying Ks are way overrated
The J Series is simply a novelty engine swap, nothing more than something different (cool to see, and props mostly about swap achievement but that's it). Performance wise - Sure, you'll have a bump in power over most stock engine swaps, but that's pretty much where you'll stay unless you get Custom parts made - And even then you'll still be getting pulled on by those with built K, H, and B series.
I almost bought a K for my 99 honda accord thank you for making a clear step by step video on the different motors definitely going to look into the J series for my car now
I really like my 2001 honda accord F23A1, wish they had more aftermarket parts for them. Thinking about H22 swapping it since it's practically a bolt-in with a little wiring. Considering I manual swapped mine due to a terrible baxa automatic transmission it had in it.
yup I’ve got an f23 bro u should look into the g 23. Frankenstein build Essentially we would put an h series head on our f 23 and would gain everything that we need from an h series like compression etc for a fraction of the price
If you're going racing do a K, the variable cam timing is superior and there is a ton of support for it. But for less money than a K, H, or J swap you can turbo that b18b and beat all those swaps.
in stock form, but the J and K can't be swapped and stay in stock form, they have to be modded, mod for mod regardless of number output, the K series outdoes the other two. The J is a great engine though, it needs more aftermarket support and it's dated. The bigger current J series engines aren't so simple to swap.
What about G series 5 cyl engines by Honda? I don't hear a lot about those engines, probably because of their lack of aftermarket and tune-ability, but I'd really appreciate hearing your opinion about it.
TFAY not worth the time or the money, there’s not enough support as of right now, i love the j35, i have a 07 acura tl type s and it’s honestly the best stock car i’ve ever driven, stock for stock nothing compares... but mods come into play and we sadly start getting bottlenecked
my mecanic start to swap j-series on ek civic since 2 years retty amazing want more info about the swap go on facebook and search for chez honda physique
If I wanted to do a J swap with an automatic transmission, would that be smart for a good daily? That’s really all I’m trying to build is a nice, fast daily
it is nice when you do these discussions keep it up. I am doing a kswap on my channel an I have no mechanical nor any ASE credentials, all u need is to research and hours of it. the kseries is overated yes but it has a better HP per liter than the jseries and the jseries isn't that easy, you still have to remove the spot welds from passenger side mounts, cut out or get a ktuned shifter box and wiring harness. Hondas best engine is the f20c and f22c fron factory and people still swap them for the k20 because of how advance it is. if you are looking for easy and quick power just go boosted B,D or H series.
J32 is underrated, just an amazing engine that responds well to mods, plus who doesn't love the sound of a V6? especially with V-tec? I just wish there more parts for them :(
my 2 cents the cheaper way to do a J swap if finding a T bone TL-S at the junkyard buy it as a donor car for 450 to 700 get ur long block 3.2 and tranny. and continue from there. peace
overall great discussion its all based on life style .My friend has a I have a D series and feel great have fun in traffic great daily fun I'm glad you did this based on facts and then made your opinion I like balance for what I'm doing reliability type of driving etc suspension set up life style I enjoy the technical aspects to tuning so I build the car around my lifestyle at that moment great job now viewers can make a choice based upon there lifestyle
People dont really consider H series too much any more. They are big and heavy compared to a B series but you get a lot of bang for your buck there when comparing the two. The top of the B series B18C5 is gonna cost you at least a few thousand dollars, but still doesnt produce the same amount of torque that the H does. You can find a H series on ebay with free shipping right now for $500-$800
10k to go k? lol that's alittle steep. k is more expensive , but worth it. patients is key don't fall into the hype and try to buy everything at once. everything takes time.
man i really have been thinking about this for along time, my friend had an acura suv, i didn't really know anything about honda's or acura's at the time, but that thing was stupid fast, for a full size suv, since driving that, i've wanted to j swap something this video just confirmed it, so my question is, what should i look to j swap? i'm already building a ls dc2 integra with a b18c1 gsr motor/trans swap, so should i find a honda shell orrr go crazy and j swap my mazda mx3? helpp?
Stock for stock, b series V-tec is the best in my opinion. Doesn't have many random misfire issues, high rev all day, gets the most abuse ever(besides the single cam), and will keep going strong even over 200k+ miles. I've seen K series take a dump before 100k miles w/out the excessive abuse.
Then you don't know ks. Timing chain and tensioner replacement at 150k miles and I've never seen them bend valves when they skip a tooth when you let it go too many miles. Aftermarket cams are risky especially since junk2 (aka skunk2) started making cams for ks. Just stay away from aftermarket kseries cams and your good to go... unless your cruising for a bruising at the school of hard knocks. About 1-2% of the kseries cams do last but just be warned.
Darkblast 2612 transmission is exactly the same just turned around 180degrees. It's the donor car that abused it due to the crappy CMC that comes factory on 2001+ manual tranny honda/acuras (excluding the corrected cmc out of the em2 civic).
I love h series but the only down fall when building it is the frm sleeves. I can honestly tell this guy haven't ever touched an h. If you know what your doing with them the h is far better than the k. The f23a1 with a h22a head is pretty sweet also I believe it's called a g23 if I'm not mistaken
When it comes to the j series it I honestly the best for everything other than racing. For those interested in the J series for racing, it's good if you are a good engineer. Other than that I would wait until the aftermarket get's bigger. When I say wait I mean buy a j series with a manual now before they get expensive, and hold it until the aftermarket gets better.
Any advice on putting these in a rear wheel drive layout? I'm looking at putting one in a Morris Minor, Morris Oxford, MG Midget, Ford Anglia, Hillman Minx, or similar.
I drive a 06 sixspeed v6 sedan accord. And believe me, the J30a5 is such a beautiful engine. It's quick in stock form. I just wish there was more aftermarket support for them. Basically all we can do is intake exhaust. Then slap a tl ecu in it and run Hondata. It sucks that there's no love for them because in stock form they can hold a great amount of Powers reliably too.
u take a h22 and add 15psi of boost and it touches around 500 -600 rite there youre rapping the k and thats on a stock block at that go to boostedbois channel check his red hatch
Luis Viera boostedbois are on sleeved and built block. K series have been known to make over 700 hp on stock motor. There are no Honda motors that compare to a k series
Luis Viera and idk i never heard or saw a stock internal k running 700hp or even 600 seen some in the 300"s all day but i couldn't afford the 10k for the typeR swap n tune so i got a H2B redtop itr 98spec trans n goodies n tune
Trying to make up my mind what I want to swap in my 90 EF SI Hatchback. I've been thinking about a K-Series, but not if the price tag is 8 or more grand. If that's the case, I'll probably just go with an LS/VTEC swap and call it a day.
Emanuel Sacriste I think its because they're getting old...? Or because these engines being compared are high displacement vs B series you could barely get a 1.8L without massive mods... I've heard of people building on B20s, but that must be a huge pain considering they didn't have VTEC (and the tuners made them VTEC)... Must've been some B20 with B16B shit in it
I have a 2001 Acura CL (non S) it has the j series engine and a AEM Air intake rest is stock and it sounds amazing with out the vtec engaging but when it does it’s amazing. Wish there was more after market options want to put a manual in it.
After reading the comments I learned go buy any car and any engine you want, because it's your money spend how you like. Every one is subject to their own opinion. At the end of the day if you like it then fuck it drive off into the sunset lol
Great video, i miss the horsepower info. Im looking for a motor to swap into my golf 1 :) and it need to be 2.0l vtec and as much power without a turbo :)
Hey Thanks for The Info about these engines I have a 1993 Automatic Ford Tempo GL. It haves a 2.3L 4 cylinder Engine in it. And it's a front wheel drive. I wanted to know which one of these engines on this video can fit in that body I have?
Do Boy's Garage J32A2 VETEC in an 1988 CRX SI with a small sensable shot of Nitrous to lightly fog just to help hold the rpms up and remain in the power band with an automatic sequential shift transmission for faster, smoother shifts while maintaining more efficient traction with a nice soft set of soft wide sport tires, maybe drag D.O.T.S. to help stick the less than 2,300 LB Super Hot Hatch to the pavement and Hustle and embarrass a big part of all the Momma and Daddy sponsored little spoiled ones out there in there factory, dealership built racecars that half of them can't tell you anything about them other than what there Daddy's had showed them in the brochure. Then you smile while you collect your money from them as there girlfriends stare in confusion and disbelief and ask how did that little, old car beat this one, and why are we paying so much a month on this one?
H series is underrated, better be that way so that us admirers can have it in low price! Also if someone seeking for true Honda Symphony then H can deliver to them through those performance exhaust!
Had to dislike the video, this fool just said The K series is hype. I mean with the reputation it has, it lives up to it. It's overall the better engine. Jk, I thumbs up 😎
Zosh When we both have the funds to run these types of test i will show you that J series will pack a punch! its v6 lets be real here.....250hp and 230-240wtq?! Thats a built k right there😎

Video was very helpful just looking for some advice on which swap I should do
"This video is going to be more factual and opinionated than the last one" 🤔😕 Huh?...
J-Series FTW💪
This was realy helpful, i have a j35 and an planning on putting forced induction on it
TFAY not worth the time or the money, there’s not enough support as of right now, i love the j35, i have a 07 acura tl type s and it’s honestly the best stock car i’ve ever driven, stock for stock nothing compares... but mods come into play and we sadly start getting bottlenecked
great video thanks for the upload dude
my mecanic start to swap j-series on ek civic since 2 years retty amazing
want more info about the swap go on facebook and search for chez honda physique
I stuck with the k24a2. Can be very reliable on boost
Planning a K swap here, but still liked the video. Thanks much!
If I wanted to do a J swap with an automatic transmission, would that be smart for a good daily? That’s really all I’m trying to build is a nice, fast daily
it is nice when you do these discussions keep it up. I am doing a kswap on my channel an I have no mechanical nor any ASE credentials, all u need is to research and hours of it. the kseries is overated yes but it has a better HP per liter than the jseries and the jseries isn't that easy, you still have to remove the spot welds from passenger side mounts, cut out or get a ktuned shifter box and wiring harness. Hondas best engine is the f20c and f22c fron factory and people still swap them for the k20 because of how advance it is. if you are looking for easy and quick power just go boosted B,D or H series.
J32 is underrated, just an amazing engine that responds well to mods, plus who doesn't love the sound of a V6? especially with V-tec?
I just wish there more parts for them :(
Great video, man.
I have a 00 ex accord coupe with a j30a1, I’ve seen a lot of people swap with a j35 intake and add 50 hp just under 400
show some love to D series too man!
J Series is definitely under estimated it's a sleeper engine when put in the right body/owner.
Yes i agree and im a barra man i not long burt my first j series motor powered car and loving it
I liked your evaluation . I'm considering a j series swap I'm in a f series now 2000 accord ..
great vid, good job man
Easy cheap 250whp N/A
F20b
+1mm bore
K20A2 pistons
H23A crank and rods
E85
Upgrade cam spring retainer
F23B motor
F20B___CB7 ____ f23 crank even better. 97mm vs 95 mm crank of the h23
easier, cheaper 250whp N/A
J32a2/a3, boom.
That's it.
Why are you still reading this?
my 2 cents the cheaper way to do a J swap if finding a T bone TL-S at the junkyard buy it as a donor car for 450 to 700 get ur long block 3.2 and tranny. and continue from there. peace
overall great discussion its all based on life style .My friend has a I have a D series and feel great have fun in traffic great daily fun I'm glad you did this based on facts and then made your opinion I like balance for what I'm doing reliability type of driving etc suspension set up life style I enjoy the technical aspects to tuning so I build the car around my lifestyle at that moment great job now viewers can make a choice based upon there lifestyle
Nicholas Johnson. Oh shit fam that's the cat from Big Trouble Little China for your pic. 💯👌👍
People dont really consider H series too much any more. They are big and heavy compared to a B series but you get a lot of bang for your buck there when comparing the two. The top of the B series B18C5 is gonna cost you at least a few thousand dollars, but still doesnt produce the same amount of torque that the H does. You can find a H series on ebay with free shipping right now for $500-$800
10k to go k? lol that's alittle steep. k is more expensive , but worth it. patients is key don't fall into the hype and try to buy everything at once. everything takes time.
... but you are broke if you cannot do it at once, at least according to this guy. :D
Lmao 😂
Lucky MN he’s including labor cost which is real world. Most people either can’t or don’t have time to do a swap.
i love when a little d series comes along and walks everyone lol
I've seen a d series do damage at the races! Lol
I had 02 d series out race other race just went u hit 4 and 5 gear it longer
man i really have been thinking about this for along time, my friend had an acura suv, i didn't really know anything about honda's or acura's at the time, but that thing was stupid fast, for a full size suv, since driving that, i've wanted to j swap something this video just confirmed it, so my question is, what should i look to j swap? i'm already building a ls dc2 integra with a b18c1 gsr motor/trans swap, so should i find a honda shell orrr go crazy and j swap my mazda mx3? helpp?
putting on for the F20B VTEC motor so underated
Stock for stock, b series V-tec is the best in my opinion. Doesn't have many random misfire issues, high rev all day, gets the most abuse ever(besides the single cam), and will keep going strong even over 200k+ miles. I've seen K series take a dump before 100k miles w/out the excessive abuse.
tommy facekicker D series is single stick. And yes, the K swamp is fad’ish. B’s and H’s take so much abuse an keep on rev’ing. Better trans as well.
tommy facekicker b series will blow up before my F20b will. Rev it to 9k several times a day for 6-7 years.
Then you don't know ks. Timing chain and tensioner replacement at 150k miles and I've never seen them bend valves when they skip a tooth when you let it go too many miles. Aftermarket cams are risky especially since junk2 (aka skunk2) started making cams for ks. Just stay away from aftermarket kseries cams and your good to go... unless your cruising for a bruising at the school of hard knocks. About 1-2% of the kseries cams do last but just be warned.
Darkblast 2612 transmission is exactly the same just turned around 180degrees. It's the donor car that abused it due to the crappy CMC that comes factory on 2001+ manual tranny honda/acuras (excluding the corrected cmc out of the em2 civic).
Bseries is outgunned in every way, except for boost. They hold just as well as any other for boost and are cheap
I love h series but the only down fall when building it is the frm sleeves. I can honestly tell this guy haven't ever touched an h. If you know what your doing with them the h is far better than the k. The f23a1 with a h22a head is pretty sweet also I believe it's called a g23 if I'm not mistaken
My old cd5 h22a swap would eat K series and J series all day.
Need to build another one
k20/24 is a lot better trust me
Thinking about doing a j series swap on an 5/6th gen accord I need to know if this is worth while or what would be a good set up for this type of car
A project that I would love to do is a J swap on a 4th gen Prelude and if possible AWD, just imagine it
acura sh-awd in a prelude, or go with a fwd 6 speed trans from an acura TL, i have an 05 and its a LSD stock
F20b motor was only 699.
i know tons of internally stock Hs at 215-225wheel
preludeF20Bking I'm making 212 who on my pos stock block bolt ons
Also the type s red top prelude engine makes 220hp factory
What about the B series? What do yall think about this swap
Killer swap
nice video! what are the weights without gearbox/transmissions?
purpose built single cams are neglected but can make big power on turbo
Don't forget the OG Dseries :)
D series with bolt-on parts, upgraded ecu, stripped out interior lol that used to be really fun
J series can come in a 3.5L too I have one in my 2012 HFP accord
And 3.7L :)
that thing must be beautiful i just bought a 2012 k24 accord coupe im loving it but as the days go by i want a J series more and more each day!
Got stock b series k series and j series they are great in there own way. That b series makes me smile the most
When it comes to the j series it I honestly the best for everything other than racing. For those interested in the J series for racing, it's good if you are a good engineer. Other than that I would wait until the aftermarket get's bigger. When I say wait I mean buy a j series with a manual now before they get expensive, and hold it until the aftermarket gets better.
Everyone knows that D13B2 is the best engine for turbo.👌
It's an economy motor
@@ken3234 it was a joke .
Wish i could take a run with you in my b20v cheers thanks for sharing
loved your take on tge Honda platform. go j series!
My boy used to have H22 integral with built motor used to kill vettes stis etc shit was crazy fast
Love my J series Accord. Mods are a bit lacking though. The more people use the engine, the more that will change.
facts i have an 05 TL 6 speed LSD and i wish there were more aftermarket parts
Im enjoying my mdx its got j35a its nice daily
y'all trippen. my brother has a h22a1 in his 95 prelude with headers and a throttle body and he's out ran my dad's cammed k20 in his 04 rsk
Brent Eazy fg2 here shitting on h everyday,header and tb only he dont stand a chance,i run eg h22 no problem
Ah yes. The rare RSK
Vega-Expert i shit on any Si or type S by buses in my lude. It takes a k swap to give me a good run. I'm in socal and ready to run any day.
Vega-Expert you must be racing shit h22 swaps. I have buddies with h22 swaps and they shit on type s all day and I'm faster.
H22a4 in my 98 prelude. and plan on turboing it soon to make mad power lol
Any advice on putting these in a rear wheel drive layout? I'm looking at putting one in a Morris Minor, Morris Oxford, MG Midget, Ford Anglia, Hillman Minx, or similar.
I drive a 06 sixspeed v6 sedan accord. And believe me, the J30a5 is such a beautiful engine. It's quick in stock form. I just wish there was more aftermarket support for them. Basically all we can do is intake exhaust. Then slap a tl ecu in it and run Hondata. It sucks that there's no love for them because in stock form they can hold a great amount of Powers reliably too.
J35 3.5 V6 Accord ✅✅✅✅✅✅
u take a h22 and add 15psi of boost and it touches around 500 -600 rite there youre rapping the k and thats on a stock block at that go to boostedbois channel check his red hatch
Luis Viera stock h22 cant hold 500hp boost. stock rods cant hold it .
Luis Viera boostedbois are on sleeved and built block. K series have been known to make over 700 hp on stock motor. There are no Honda motors that compare to a k series
Luis Viera and idk i never heard or saw a stock internal k running 700hp or even 600 seen some in the 300"s all day but i couldn't afford the 10k for the typeR swap n tune so i got a H2B redtop itr 98spec trans n goodies n tune
Scott Fonte look up Derek's car made 700 on stock motor for 3 years. He's from innovative tunning.
Scott Fonte look up lil man EG. stock block 600whp k20. beat the shit out of it for 6 month then it blew.
Trying to make up my mind what I want to swap in my 90 EF SI Hatchback.
I've been thinking about a K-Series, but not if the price tag is 8 or more grand.
If that's the case, I'll probably just go with an LS/VTEC swap and call it a day.
thanks for the info on the k24 block k20 head for more rpms...
Why not B Series?
+emasacriste Check my B series vs K series video
good question
Emanuel Sacriste I think its because they're getting old...? Or because these engines being compared are high displacement vs B series you could barely get a 1.8L without massive mods... I've heard of people building on B20s, but that must be a huge pain considering they didn't have VTEC (and the tuners made them VTEC)... Must've been some B20 with B16B shit in it
B20 VTEC
It comes from the crap base Integra b18 without vtec and an entire b16 or b18 vtec head on the motor and a b16 vtec transmission
my man didnt even say like n subscribe 😂😂 he said dislike it and hit us with a outro right after lmfaoo
Ryan O'Brien gotta keep it original somehow 👳🏿♂️👳🏿♂️
Any thoughts on the best turbo build, bang for the buck in a civic/integra?
I have a 2001 Acura CL (non S) it has the j series engine and a AEM Air intake rest is stock and it sounds amazing with out the vtec engaging but when it does it’s amazing. Wish there was more after market options want to put a manual in it.
I'm a K/B series guy but i respect F/H/D/R/L/G/J/C series they're good engines😊
L15A/B is pretty common and very popular in Thailand. We are a country with small engines and penises of course hahahahaha
After reading the comments I learned go buy any car and any engine you want, because it's your money spend how you like. Every one is subject to their own opinion. At the end of the day if you like it then fuck it drive off into the sunset lol
Great video, i miss the horsepower info. Im looking for a motor to swap into my golf 1 :) and it need to be 2.0l vtec and as much power without a turbo :)
Hey Thanks for The Info about these engines I have a 1993 Automatic Ford Tempo GL. It haves a 2.3L 4 cylinder Engine in it. And it's a front wheel drive. I wanted to know which one of these engines on this video can fit in that body I have?
K Series all day every day!
+Do Boy's Garage I knew you were a K series guy!
Do Boy's Garage yass
Allows for best power and overall balance. Plus Honda addresses all of the issues in the H and B series.
Do Boy's Garage J32A2 VETEC in an 1988 CRX SI with a small sensable shot of Nitrous to lightly fog just to help hold the rpms up and remain in the power band with an automatic sequential shift transmission for faster, smoother shifts while maintaining more efficient traction with a nice soft set of soft wide sport tires, maybe drag D.O.T.S. to help stick the less than 2,300 LB Super Hot Hatch to the pavement and Hustle and embarrass a big part of all the Momma and Daddy sponsored little spoiled ones out there in there factory, dealership built racecars that half of them can't tell you anything about them other than what there Daddy's had showed them in the brochure. Then you smile while you collect your money from them as there girlfriends stare in confusion and disbelief and ask how did that little, old car beat this one, and why are we paying so much a month on this one?
LMFAO GO say that bull shit to speedfactory and watch you get laughed at.
J-Series all day every day✊🏽
Damn. Been here since day one. 👍🏽
My 09 6-6 Accord with full bolt ons and tune moves. Like moves moves. That motor and trans in a eg/ek would be insane.
i had a stock h with super low miles stock vs stock i never once was beat by a k stock end of story
H series is underrated, better be that way so that us admirers can have it in low price! Also if someone seeking for true Honda Symphony then H can deliver to them through those performance exhaust!
Had to dislike the video, this fool just said The K series is hype. I mean with the reputation it has, it lives up to it. It's overall the better engine.
Jk, I thumbs up 😎
Zosh When we both have the funds to run these types of test i will show you that J series will pack a punch! its v6 lets be real here.....250hp and 230-240wtq?! Thats a built k right there😎
wait wait.. did you just say a built k is 250 hp.... delete your comment before you embarrass yourself to 5k people! lol, cmon MITON!!! HAHA
Zosh i never said 'fully built'......😐
I never said fully built either???
😐😐😐😐
Nice video! I modded my 08 accord sedan lovin the J series V6
OG B series for a Dc chassis. I do like my J32 in my TL tho!
K series. 🏁🏁
+Zosh Such a typical response 😎😂
B20 vtec
Zosh J series cus its my TL all day
K24 have v tec ?
@zosh says the person who has only owned b-series lol
what are the advantages of using the K series type R engine, thanks!
I want J on my Honda Fit . Got to do my research to see if I can fit it.
H SERIES FOR LIFE!
D series let's talk about it
Niiice vid Fam 🤙 I'm going H2b in my Cr-v then rebuild my high mileage b20 for vtec
I have to agree with j in stock platform. I miss the instant torque of my j32 del sol
