You've obviously never removed the rivets before to hold that belief. They are incredibly soft and take 10seconds each to remove with a set of pliers. Drilling out the dowel holes on the other hand is more involved, something which IIRC you avoid with the VTEC gasket?

oops sorry thats right LOL didnt read properly LOL

doesn't matter.

if you install a 'blockguard' or a 'girdle' on a B20 bottom-end without proper machining, you are going to be heading towards problems...

hey tinkerbell

what injector size would i need for a built b20 with 130-140kw?

You think 290cc injector would be enough?

**tinkerbell** · 22-05-2010 06:57 PM

i will be running 725cc ID's on my new one...

you need 440 or so for a high output B20 i'd say... depends on the ECU as well...

i was running Prelude 345cc on my old B20... (120kWish)
