I love your shelf organization too

Hey Mike, I think this is the brake bias valve you need
Honda Civic SI EK9 40/40 Disc Brake Proportioning Valve:eBay Motors (item 250554734146 end time Jan-03-10 21:39:29 PST)
there seems to be a few for sale in the states, could email and ask will they post it over... way easier job fitting this than trying to route brake pipes for integra bias valve

Another K20 build

Love it, is the jump from B18 to K20 that drastic of a change?

Well a basic set up will get you 200BHP from B18CR and with the K20a with Kpro and bolt ons your looking at at least 235bhp. And with the 6 speed box i would say makes a great bit of difference

 

[rushy_23]

Im guessing the costs of the B18 conversion though are much less than a K20 conversion?

Either way Im sure either would put great smiles on the owners face?

Aswell as the torque increase from around 130/140 to 160/170

I will go with DC2 prop. valve,I know that i will have to run few new lines but it gets me moving.I picked up one today

Ah cool cool

Despite most peoples beliefs, a B18C + box is about 10-15kg lighter than a K20 + box, although as said the extra power and torque more than makes up for it, haha

After driving my dads FD2, to have that power but in a car weighing a good 200kg less, it will fly
