I'm going K whenever I build my Caterham. That's all I care about.

That being said, this whole argument depends on what you want from the engine, what you're going to use it for, and whether cost effectiveness factors into the equation. It's pointless to argue B, H, or K, because they're all different and they all have different strengths and weaknesses that make them suited for different purposes.
Like you said, technology wise, the K-series engines are leaps and bounds "better" than the H and B series. The timing system and huge advancement.

That could be A.O.K.


If I was building a Honda today, I would use a H-series engine because of it's cost. The H-series are overlooked by many tuners because they don't have the same following by the owners. Big name machine shops have done amazing things with the H-series heads. I've seen over 270whp with H-22 that had a stock bottom end. We all know that power is made in the head, though.

Edit: I wish Jeff's site hadn't been taken down when they moved to "Blue Print Manufacturing". He had tons of great information about the research he's done with all the Honda engines.

H or B ... B , for the H though QSD has an adapter plate now to use K series intake manifold's and there's a TON more clearance now with H swaps between the Mani and firewall , and Mani to hood clearance so thats cool and the K RBC Mani is making more power then the popular skunk Mani that most H guys run

^ Benefit of a transmission that is known to be prone to breaking? Sounds awesome.
