I agree with you marty that a K frank would def. dominate tho it would be hella expensive. 2nd tothe K frankwould you say H22A or LS/VTEC? is the H22A the best platform if you are looking for torque??

straight 6 diesel! Duh? I read on a couple of forums around thatcutting edge 'tractor pull' engines can run upwards of 200lbs of boost through series layout multi-turbo (4 or more) induction systems. Not sureif those are straight 6s or what tho...

Seriously tho, the K24 is the block out of an element right? And the K20a is what I have in my '02 Si right? srry for the double yes/no hijack but Ima n00b! TIA!

your 02 SI has the K20a3, and the K24 is out of a Acura TSX.

GSR, hands down. Good stroke and great balancing. Only 7 second Civic competeing to this day still rocks a GSR.

K24 is from the CR-V also. LS block is a non-vtec block (1.8 litre). B18A/B from the tegra LS.

Id love to know how long an LS/VTEC or a B20/VTEC lasts under say 8psi, cause I always hear that they dont last long. I thiink it may be a myth
