Replied to your pm Jugbugz This car sounds like a beast...would love to see some pics or vids man.
To be honest a K20 swop has never been an option for me really, mainly because of the hassle/cash thats involved. It seems to makes more sense to go down the turbo route imo. And even more so now after what ek9turbo said i.e. "to use the decent mounts you have to change from the EK9 subframe to a EG or DC2 subframe which are faar less rigid or substantial".
I keep changing my mind like the weather, but hopefully I should be stroking my b16b or doing a 98spec b18c this year, untill I can fund a full turbo build.
I could get the turbo build done on the cheap, but i'd rather do it properly and not skimp out on parts etc, and have a motor built to last.
So I b18c will have to do fro the time being, but from what the b18c dudes have told me, I should be more than happy with the swop.
I remember reading a thread about b20's v b18c's before. What is it that makes the b20 builds unreliable and not being able to rev as high as the b18c?
i think its to do with the cylinder walls been thiner and i assume that it doesnt rev as high is because it the b20 comes from a jeep its more about lower end torque
