This dude has built a few B20's.

need a proper tuneable ecu

[TODA AU]

/\ As above +

- Modify cooling system for water oil heat exchanger use on B20 block.
(steal the fittings & cross-pipe from your existing B16A)
- Close & hone the rods + floating small end bush (depending on piston used)
- B18CR upper engine gasket kit + lower engine gasket kit
(Use B18CR kit as it comes with the nice chrome rocker cover seals)
- Good breather system, not some rubbish from your local parts store

anything left out?

[GSi_PSi]

why put typeR valve springs?, are you puttin TypeR cams,? if not then might aswell get aftermarket

[MikeyG]

exactly.. if you going to use b16a camshaft and camgears no point just having the valve springs... if you have the money then upgrade to type r cams and camgears....

note* you can use other camgears eg, skunk2, toda, spoon etc.......

[kraiye]

type r springs? forget them unless you're doing the cams as well. no point going through the hassle of pulling the head apart just to do springs.

oh ok, it's been said 2x already. my bad :)

what's "closing" the rods? is that shot peening?

[Chr1s]

"closing" the rods is a term we use which is when we torque the rod bolts to spec and check the "roundness" of the big end, if its out, we machine it to our specification.

shot peening is a cold forming process where small metallic/ceramic balls are propelled at the item, leaving slight dimples for each ball that hits, resulting in a uniform dimples. Ultimately, this induces compression forces in the surface layer which alters fatigue properties of the material in a positive way and reduces the chance of cracks forming which lead to failure.
