My DC2R - Special K

[quenjose]

Looks sweet dude.
But just a question, if you notice the engine seems to be mounted REALLY far forward and in front of the struts, does that effect the weight balance significantly?

If anything, shouldnt it be the opposite?
Looks to me the k20 is mounted much closer to the firewall than a stock b18c would've been.

edit: very nice car though!
how does it drive? obviously faster.... but any quirks?

[tinkerbell]

No source. I'm just surprised it's that much lighter considering extra capacity. I don't know much about the B18C. Is it a cast block? That would explain such a huge weight difference.

B series = all alloy, any honda aficionado would know this.

i would be surprised if a 2001 engine WASNT lighter than a 1988 one...

and extra capacity? what has that got to do with weight? lol!

Wider and thicker block perhaps?

I don't read much about this stuff either so excuse the ignorance. I only know what I need to. One of those need to know basis jobs.

20kg lighter from b18c -k20? Any source to back up these claims? Just hard to believe.

That's what I thought too. 20kg is a huge amount for a 4 cylinder engine.
