170fwhp from b20 with b16a head

[locote]

at the auto salon dyno this civic made 170 fwhp with a b20 with b16 head, thats awsome, could you get similar results b18b with vtec head???

[ALLMTR]

yes, I could

[BLKCRX]

Yes very easy ;-) with the correct combo and parts and tuning.

[locote]

so a b16a head on b18b blok wont cause any problems???

[BLKCRX]

Not if installed correctly, and professionally
Regards James

haha :wave: I know the car very well !
I was the civic to go on the rollers just before this red EK4.
I got 151.6HP. Congrats to Brien ~ a fellow Perthian.

This red CYPHER built civic also got 185HP @ wheels (185HP@wheels) 3 days prior to the AUTOSALON dyno too :thumbsup:

If you slap a ITR head on a B18B bottom end will it be the same as an ITR engine? So i'm pretty much asking is there any difference between the bottom end of an B18CR, B18C VTiR and B18B if they all using ITR piston, rods etc...???

Same unit as the B16A head, apart from slight porting of runners on the R unit.

Interesting ...
Who told you it was a B18 head Simon ?

I sat down and had a chat with the guy who built it on the weekend and he told me its a Civic VTiR B16A2 head.

[shmivic]

[ALLMTR]

Is that the article where they did not want to give out the secrets of their B20vtec???

[furiou5]

There was a spec sheet at the stand of the red civic on the days it was at the show, but from talking to the guy that was looking after the display, that civic had a fair amount of money spent on it.

[locote]
