Let's not mince words, K swaps rule the Honda world. It's been the cool swap to have in your old school Honda for the last decade plus and for good reason. Honda put a K in almost every single vehicle they manufactured. Think about it, they put it in Accords, Civics, Crosstours, non-USDM Odysseys, Spiriors, Integras, Streams, Edixs, CRVs and Elements as Hondas and in RSXs, TSXs, TLXs, CSXs, ILXs and RDXs. Hell, there was even a K24 put into a Proton Perdana, a Malaysian sedan based off of the Accord. (Be a hero and show up to your next local meet with a Proton Perdana. #mindsblown) So, there is no shortage of healthy power plants to swap. Each of these K series made at least 150 horsepower and 130 foot pounds of torque. The average K series in the USA will usually make around 160 horsepower and 160 foot pounds of torque, a healthy bump in usable power over B and D series offerings.
However, there was a time when the B series reigned supreme over the Honda performance universe. B series powered cars were breaking records in drag racing, taking money in street racing and winning championships in road racing. Yes, H and F series won their fair share of races, but they were never as widespread or as successful as the almighty B. Yes, we know the ZC was the OG Honda swap, but like the H and F swaps it wasn't as accessible or successful overall.
That brings us to our Projectcarpalooza match up of Brian's K24A4 powered EG Civic hatchback and Aaron's B18C powered EG Civic hatchback. It's Project Budget K versus Project 1992 Civic. We took them to Musselman Honda Circuit in Tucson, AZ to find out how the two power plants in semi-identical Civics stack up.

Nothing but Hondas. That’s exactly what you’ll find at VTEC Academy. Not because some of the other automakers’ cars that inherently drain the life out of the driving experience bore us, but because Soichiro Honda’s passion for motorsports and his company’s ability to express that in the machines they produce make a whole lot of sense.
VTEC Academy is a place for Honda fans who feel the same way and who seek the most accurate technical information and commentary to continue that very legacy and make whatever Honda it is that they drive just a little bit better. And faster.
The editors and contributors of VTEC Academy are some of the industry’s most experienced and trusted, which means the informative, unique perspectives you need are all right here. And, like you, we’re also obsessed with Hondas.
