I don't see why not, unless you fcuked up the build somehow.


you plan to use the block as is or rebuild with bore/hone and new rings?

also a more highly strung engine won't last as long as a more conservative engine.

just a basic setup new rings maybe a bit of a refresh on the block and pretty much standard teg vtir head maybe a light pnp job and itr spec cams, springs and retainers or like a stage 2 skunk2 setup. hoping for around 130kw sound achievable ?

tell me why you think it won't last like an ordinary motor out of the factory?

reading some things make me think everybody uses their cars as weekend cars eg "17000 kms on mine still going strong" i do that in 6 months :( lol dont want 100 kms a day decide it wants to wear out cylinder walls or anything and start burning oil or something?

iv'e had my b20v for 5 years now. it's my daily driver, weekend warrior and track car (hopefully will be @ honda national's this year). iv'e never had any problems with it. co's i had all the right parts machined and fitted. their fantastic. why settle for 1.6 or 1.8? and also 2 years back i found a great deal through my engine builder. a vti-R with a b20v with a JRSC fitted. so i bought that for my missus. and on boost their great too. i think too many people quote what they read on the internet whilst not having any experience with them at all.

Hey guys,

Im currently saving for the b20vtec build, ive been researching and asking questions of a few members and was wondering with your experiences, how much for a basic b20vtec build to get it up and running, using mostly OEM parts.

Thanks again,

i put around 30,000kms on my B20VTEC, current owner last i checked was sitting on an extra 20,000kms

ran it on the dyno recently pulled 126kw atw

still running strong as ever.....

think i might go ahead and do this aspaaa :P but final question how hard will engineers be? and how much will it cost?
