The B20VTEC discussion thread

[tinkerbell]

planning on doing a b20vtec,
currently looking at a forged bottom end, as it will take time
do you guys who have built b20's in the past reccommend something like this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Wisec...Q5fAccessories

thanks

yeah - buying packages is sometimes a cheaper way to get parts, you just need to be sure they all are going to be what you need to meet your aims...

i was looking at the K567M845 ones for my engine, but got CP ones instead...

whats the go with eagle rods/? ppl always claim they rubbish but are they worse than stock?

[GSi_PSi]

well i dont see why everything else isnt being attacked? the BYP crew , Dr Honda crew , all build motors out of backyards and garages, so
its not fair singling out chris if your going to address him, should address everybody.
From my experience chris has always gone out of his way to help anyone who has built an engine with him, the countless times me and my cousin have called him about advice or such and he has been there. My engine has been pretty good to me so far, a year and counting, have even taken it to 9300rpm once accidentally.

Anyways this is going quite off topic, this is about B20 discussion not lets talk shit about other people discussion

im fasting also samm

toda i think you should apologize to chr1s... i understand what your saying but there was no need to get abusive.. so what if chr1s does not have any exp or a shop or a t-shirt that states " im a qualifed person " he understands motors and knows what is good and what is bad.

i think thats FAR more better then others who just say this and that but dont have any facts yet chr1s does, he builds motors, he tunes them, customers are happy.

but other then that lets move on one question though toda is there stroker kits for b20s?

[Chr1s]

As far as I know, TODA don't make any stroker kits for the B20s.

The real boys know how to build motors, and thats the yanks. Eagle, BC, Crower, SCAT, etc and your custom items can be made if you want strokers for a b20.

Lengths should be check as well as B/E & small end bores.
They're not always the same.

We usually destroke them...
By all means use a stroker if you want, but it's pretty much a waste of time.
& your engine life will be shorter.

i am running 1995cc with stock B20 crank and 84.5mm bore with eagle rods and CP pistons...

that's all you need for 150kW+

do b20 vtec push alot of torque if you do sleeves, pistons, rods, headwork etc?

Because i was planning to do a jdm k20 swap but with that money I was also thinking about rebuilding my b18cr to a b20 built bottom and top.

hrmmm. Very interesting read this thread.

If you've got the money to do it right, yes they can produce very high torque.
Flip side of that is the B18CR that you already have, when sleeved makes a better engine.
So if you can afford to sleeve a block, it seems silly to use the B20 block.
