The B20VTEC discussion thread

Cheers Ads,

Yeah, I was kicking myself that there was no cam pulleys to adjust, I wanted to play around a little. With ignition timing, I found that was the case, it made a little more power before it dropped off with less timing! It didn't like much timing in the low map area either, needs to breathe more!

wasnt there one same build that hit 145kw ?
also what about the projected 1/4 mile time be for it, its dc2 integra type-R box

[Chr1s]

145 was on another dyno, different bottom end, 3" catback, different intake, later model type r cams and who knows what other variables.

The only other RSmachine bottom end that pushes big power is dave's one he built for BYP

[GSi_PSi]

my car was only 50% throttle and almost got that power because the cable was stretched. nice power but think it might be abit of a high reading... dunno everyone to there own opinion.

what was urs b20 build? or u talking about ur b16a? :S .. what do u mean by 50% throttle? so u werent pushing peddle down to the floor when u dynoed it ?

yeah...unfortunately sarcasm CANNOT be properly taken on the internet. Sometimes people are serious sometimes they are not.
Ways to tell if some one is being sarcastic tho....are if they post in italics.

for example

Hondas , are the fastest cars in the world

But they are ben your eg was quick

[tinkerbell]

I love how on topic this thread is ATM

[ZeForce]

IMO I think people are getting a little hung up over dyno figures

[Chr1s]

True, but it's a shame it's the only thing that we can really "compare" .

1/4 times is another problem in itself, oh well. Make do with what we have available to us!

Guys I am looking to build a B20 Shortblock and 'slap' my itr head on it.

Is there an advantage in re-using my ITR Crank vs B20 Crank?

Does anyone know of any 'fresh' built short blocks?

What is the highest recommended compression to run for street / race engine? (i.e. Running 98 Octane at minimum) - 12.5:1??

Sorry I've got a LOT of reading to do... lol (Cause these questions have been asked a hundred times, and answered differently too!)
