The B20VTEC discussion thread

[DC2-PWR]

Don't know if this video link will work,

Stroked B22B built by Hi-Power Racing (Ivan and gang) making an insane 200HP.

[tinkerbell]

He's using a b16 sump which i'm presuming he isnt sure if its the same as b20 or not.

well, then i guess both of you need to have a bit of a think through the conceptual framework of how a dipstick works?

[Lerlo]

why don't you use the B20B dipstick?

won't that be correct?

My b20 block did not come with a dipstick, so I cant compare the difference in length.
As for the difference between a b20 and b16 sump, Im pretty sure its the same volume but you can never be too sure.

There is a difference in length between the B18 and B16, so I'm assume that the b20 block would be the length of the B18.

Just food for thought.

the sump volume could be 50 litres and the dipstick would still work the same way...

and since you don't have a b20 one, try your b16 one in a mates b20 or b18 and see what happens?

B22b only making 200hp ? , brb gtg Jdm k20 swap lol

This.

I admire all the work, but for the $$ it took to build that motor one can dream of the K-swap that could have been done... I think it did a high 12 on the 1/4? Moiz can you confirm?

[GSi_PSi]

There was an eg that made 160kw and ran a 11.9 on a stock 84mm bore b20 in comparison, I'll try get my mate who knows the guy to get slips and dyno sheets

[89lude]

one could have done 2 k swaps for what he paid. with oem reliability.

Oh damn, sorry, clearing it now.

[Lerlo]

A little late, but got my engine tuned about a month ago, this is the dyno sheet.



Would like to hear your opinions on the curves.

Also, would like to thank this thread for helping me through my build, especially CHris and Tinkerbell.

Two questions:

- Is it a must to retorque the headstuds after running in? My head gasket is leaking at the exhaust side, but no signs of oil in coolant yet.

- Can I run the oil catch can to the intake pipe like the stock routing for the rocker cover or should i use a pcv?
