Is A FrankinStien (b18cr n b20) good setup ??

[MrSlpa]

i heard from different people/mechanics that said doing a Frankenstien isnt good is tat troo or tey r bluffin me ??

[tRipitaka]

cood be troo, tey cood r bluffin u


depends on who builds it, how they build it, and who tunes it.

but overall, in my opinion, i'd say that a honda built engine from factory is generally more reliable than one that's been opened and tinkered with.

[MrSlpa]

hrmm so how can i tell if its good ?? like if its done professionally??

usually when they talk like that, wont be good.

x2 with what tripitaka said

I don't doubt the workmanship of most engine builders

but at the end of the day for the av. end user a b18cr is more than enough for the avid enthusiast :D

i heard the b20+b16 head would be a better combo...

[MikeyG]

have you ever thought about a b20+jdmh22a??? if not search and you will smile :)

[Benson]

should be moved to the noob section

[Bludger]

have you ever thought about a b20+jdmh22a??? if not search and you will smile :)I wanna do this, have a b20 & jdmh22a all at once, how mad would that be.

own k series, or even add a k series, best ever.

Yeah thats sounds like an awesome combo, 2.2L H22a block + B20b VTEC head + 6sp K series gearbox

[Alexx]

lolol awesome thread.

I think someone needs to do some more research.

And mikeyG, do you know what a h2b setup actually is?

[hisoka]

so this thread isnt going to waste, is a b16a head a good idea for my b18c vtir motor. do i need a new computer if iam doing this

No it is a waste of time and money, there is nothing wrong with the standard B18c head IMO it is actually better than the B16a head....

[MikeyG]

you think im stupid?? if i didnt know i wouldnt of said b20+h22a

[Alexx]

No, not at all. Im jsut curious, as the only B series part in a h2b setup is the gearbox, and you wouldnt use a b20 box...

Doesnt matter, to keep on topic, a b20vtec is a good setup when built right. Just look at zeforce/benson/fatboys setups.

Plenty of information regarding b20vtec setups on us sites :thumbsup:

ok thanks man~ i read that b18cR is different to the vti R motor because the head is a modified ported b16a head.

so i will just use my money on bolt ons i/h/e and a computer ? and lsd gearbox and aftermarket flywheel ?. sounds good or something else ?

Funny you heard that.. because Indy from IS motor racing told me that on Sunday. Apparently, they select all the good heads for the B18C type R engines and then the duds go to the B16's.

Heard this before a few times too, so I guess it's true.

[tRipitaka]

you think im stupid?? if i didnt know i wouldnt of said b20+h22a

what do you exactly use from the b20 and the h22a may i ask ?

[MikeyG]

i was reading it on a forum from the states like 4-5 months ago let me get the link

[MikeyG]

also why dont you get b18c7 head and bore and stroke it out to a 2 or 2.2L with b20

[dudeling7]

lol dunno if being serious or not...

[Bludger]

Look guys, stop picking on him.

hes a cool guy..........lol

he was always right when he said the op should use the b20 together with the h22a.

cos everyone knows having 2 engines is better than one right
?

[MikeyG]

hmm bit of a smart ass bau hahahha lololo dont affect me dude... what i meant is b20 block h22a head fukin wanker :):)
