The B20VTEC discussion thread

If your spinning to 8500 change that water pump..

[fatboyz39]

Yeap change the pump to 22T one. Autospares should carry them ~$80-$100?

engine is already built waiting to go into the car, il have 2 call the engine builder and ask if he can change it, he will also have 2 change the timing belt aswell

[hisoka]

what you do with your old engine pinoy or you rebuilt old one ?


never see you around, what you break up with your girlfriend

[pinoy-boi]

probably not the right thread to post this questions but im going to give it a go LOL
would a b18c7 crank fit into b16a block, without any modifications and changes in compression?

No.

If the crank is used, a change in rod length or compression height of piston or both must be addressed.
Our B16A 1800cc stroker kit does this exactly, retaining the B18C stroke & rod ratio.
All other B16 1800cc+ stroker kits on the market deliver an inferior rod ratio to the original B18C.
You'll get the knockers telling you it's a waste of time, but the kit is very successful in IPRA

remember that the the B16A block is ~7mm shorter than the B18C and B20B blocks

planning on doing a b20vtec,
currently looking at a forged bottom end, as it will take time
do you guys who have built b20's in the past reccommend something like this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Wisec...Q5fAccessories

thanks

What's your goal with the engine?

Most people jump to the forged bottom end boat, which is not always the need. You'll find the average setup out there performs on cast style pistons suited for high comp b20s (RSmachines, etc). One of the main benefits of running a cast piston is the tighter piston-to-bore clearance you can run, in otherwords, it lasts longer. Forged motors need bigger clearances and as a result, don't last as long.

I would save some money and use cast pistons + prepped eagle rods and you will be fine.

Chris, you're talking about cheap US crap...
Our forged pistons run 0.0009" to 0.0011" piston to bore clearence... (same as stock)
We also offer a real 2 year warranty on engine builds with our pistons...
How you going with yours?

[newpaddy3]

No need for pissing competitions lol

But the Toda blocks do look good.

I'd prefer to pay a little extra for the peace of mind it's been built right.
