how about the b20 bottom end?

is it a good option ? better then b18c from itr ??

which would be a faster car??

all i know is that the b18 would be revier but b20 would be torquer ??

i think the b20 would be a better option as i prefer the torque... :P

what would have 2 be upgraded with the b20 bottom end conversion ??

g/b ?
diff ??

thanx in advance :)

btw thanx for the help above :) rarely see a straight awnser on ozhonda :P

for b20/b16 hybrid
search for crvtec, b20vtec or ls/vtec
there are a few threads hovering around regarding this conversion..
it's not an easy operation..

as you said, depends what sort've output you're after..

[SHIFTY]

So what do u guyz reckon is better for a daily car but would be a weekend warrier aswell ??

b20/b16 hybrid or b18c (itr engine)

in a em1???

and where i could get it done in sydney and apox. prices ??

thanx guyz :)

Will the EM1 Chassis be able to take the power from a b20/b16 hybrid...

will it **** up the handling and will the chassis be able 2 hold it 2gether still ??


if i do suspension and struts and sway bars it should be fine.. or what else is there i can do 2 strengthen the chassis?

[thebob]

Yeah it will handle the power no problems. If you want strength then put a roll cage in there. But in doing this there goes your daily driver. Got to give to get.
