B20vtec is your answer

Like i said, you have most bolt-ons mods already... So adding a bigger bottom end will open it up.

Driveability will be heaps better down low and you would need to rev it so hard to make it go quick

Expected power output with your current mods around the 115kw mark with more torque than a b18c7

Wont the b20 site higher then the b16a. Does that mean id have to look at changing the headers?

and wouldnt it be safer to sleeve the block

[fatboyz39]

A well built LS block with b16a pistons will suit your needs.

[Benson]

Those headers are designed for a B18c so it will fit the the B20 no problems..

There is no need to sleeve. Just needs to be tuned right.

You only need to sleeve it if it gettin turbo or reving past 9200rpm

still not idea what to do.

b18c7 head on b16a bottom ?
b16a head on b18c bottom?

clueless.!

[bennjamin]

you clearly are.

but , take notice of a few things here. One is your engine will not make much more power or "feel" NA , on a budget. Answering your original question tho , IMO upgrading your cams to the ITR set isnt worth it.save up $5k and decide then.

[fatboyz39]

just turbo it.

[squish85]

have a bigger displacement bottom block.. e.g. B16 head + B20 block ..

[blabla]

Im just going to find a b18c bottom end then possible some head work.. Im not a turbo fan.

If i was going turbo it would be selling car and going F6 Typhoon or Ev8-9 FQ series

[TODA AU]

If either bottom end (B18C/B20B~Z) is going to remain stock, you'll get better results with a B20.
If you're going to build the bottom end, the balance can swing back in favour of the B18C

there is heaps of good tips here hopefully you make the right choice

I wouldn't bother with a b18c bottom end, not worth it with the cost involved.. like ben said your better off with a type r engine and sell off your b16a2.

if you are going to retain the b16a head do the 2.0l bottom
