Nothing wrong with them at all. Cheap, reliable, respectable performance, parts should be easy to get, lots of cars with them.
But there's something beastial about a supercharged 2 litre Civic Type R K series engine. My guess, around the 300hp mark at the fly, I don't think it says anywhere on the website, but I admit I've only looked at the pictures and watched the videos.
I looked into B series before I bought my 4E-FTE, and they were over priced, even for a B16, not even talking about the B18!
Not many Jap import places stocked Honda engines, I found a K series 2.2litre,
I don't see that getting on the road, legally. But dam it would go hard!
The reasons for 4E-FTE for me simply was the ability to get help with the build from people who've already done it, here on Ausmini and by a few people in Adelaide. And because a good friends is going to make my subframe sometime in the future. My skills are not up to taking on a un-tried project. In the futre though, who knows?
