Opinions - B18CR Bottom End with Alaniz head

[fatboyz39]

I'm not going to bother.

Why because we have an engine that makes good power turns to over 9000rpm and has none of the internet BULLSHIT put into it.The lesson with B20Vtec engines is build them right, tune them right,and dont listen to e-mechanics with no idea only very smart with words and posting crap they read somewhere or dreamed up.

Sounds like the same way people have built strong engines for the last .. little while anyway.

I still think that if you are willing to dig deep enough there are enough tech articles to make your own mind up for most things i.e SAE papers etc .. But engines remains one of the areas that seems to have so much misinformation. Still, without the bullshit you wouldn't have the full picture. I think its as important to know why not to do something (or how someone's setup didn't work) as it is to find out someone's ultimate setup.


I'd be interested in the build in anycase, to get another result / post that might be useful to someone else.. If anyone wants a great head for a b20 let me know and i'll shoot you some details .. Its early but its late, good night.

For what its worth there really is only 2-3 people that have the experience and knowledge to build a REAL 150+KW B series engine there are many on this forum that just read to much build one engine and they think they are a legend engine builder.Just dont let these people lead you the wrong way with there advice, stories and dreams it will waste alot of your money.

yea you can only use google for so many things until the shit talking runs out.

You know 1 of them very well,one does not want to be known and the other is a mate of the one that does not want to be known who talks to the one you know very well .

Oh, so Adrian, Dyno Dave and Phil in your eyes im assuming?

Im just clearing it up for everyone else involved as the b20 is becoming more popular and is a regular topic on here?

[fatboyz39]

2/3 correct.

[Slaz]

So im assuming he doesnt frequent the forums as Phil and Adrian do so thats who you suggest people turn to for reliable information regarding b20 builds?

Seeing your motor is making 150+ and Dave builds your engines but not on any Oz forums and retired from the scene as you have said, i thought he was the other you spoke of, my apoligies.

You make a very good point there about clearing it up but the problem is the info will only make the e-mechanics worse with the correct knowledge on how to build a good B20.Now reading your list I was not really thinking about Phil as he really just likes and mainly builds K engines and the old bastard has a good mate that does alot of engines for IPRA cars and he has built some very good Honda engines.

I know who you speak as the missing other.

But being a public forum, there is always going to be e mechanics and there isnt much anyone can do about that, im just trying to make it aware that people do their research and see what works and what doesnt before they go forking out cash on parts that may not suit their goal or application.
