Re: b18c5 in an ek?
The K20 would have more power/tq. but may cost a little more to swap. The mounts, K Pro engine mgmt., axles, etc is where you spend more money than the B swap. If your looking for performance on a budget, I recommend building a motor to fit your needs. It is so much cheaper than buying a swap, and you can make more power with aftermarket parts.
My first swap several years ago was a JDM Type R in my hatch. It was fun, but not worth the money. I have built budget LSVTEC's that make more power than the Type R, for cosiderably less money.
On the flip side, I have bought several complete K24 motors for less than $400 and a Type S head for $400. So you can deffinetly find deals out there.
