if you want to turbo a b20, you'd have to sleeve it first.

i know someone who has a b20vtec in a del sol...and it rips.

ok thanks for the help :thumbup:

what does the b20 in a hatch resemble in power.. a b18b with a little more pull?

do you mean sleeve valves? :confused:

sleeve the cylinders to make it stronger

dam... all this talk about B20s...... and I've been looking into getting on but now I don't think I'll do that anymore :(
but that still won't stop me from getting something else :D
for now I'm just going to stick with what I've got and see what the D can do....:wink:
I bet my D is better then ryuujin's B :D

It sounds like a good platform to build with...spend some time and money with, like I plann on doing with any motor I get, before swaping it...but for a direct replacement as is, yah so far it doesnt sound to great...

go with a b20B with a LS tranny and have a nice day ..... torque is the important numbers and the B20B has it ... if you do your own build up on it get a b17 crankshaft if you can then you'll get some sweet power.....

b16's are quick when they are on vtec on the highway though....

if you go B20/B18.... do yourself a favour and run it with a GSR tranny

why not a LS tranny ??? doesn't the LS have taller gears ?? which is what you want since the b20 doesn't rev as high

ls has shorter gears.... gsr is longer

thats what happens when I get drunk :p ohhh well thanks for the info Cosmic

hahaha for acceleration one would want like a type r tranny though right?? dont they have the shortest gears in the b series??

yes but the short gears would limit your top speed and would have a higher highway cruising speed.... but for solo 2 :thumbup:

or even at the drag strip it would be beneficial no??

wouldnt a turbo perform better with longer gears under any situation?

:nods:

moron?
 

Guys, am I a moron? I could have gotten a b20b from a friend who wrecked his 00 CRV for $800. If I used my B18B intake and LS tranny, would I be set and be making some faster runs? What would I do 1/4 mile, for instance, maybe 0.5 sec better with a stock setup? I was only afriad it would disapoint me since its got low hp.

I can't see your comment - why it would suck in a coupe but rock in a hatch. Especially since coupes are heavier. I understood that torgue "takes care" of the heavy weight and is all the pull, while Hp gives it the high revving tendancy (all the push) to make speed.

I mean, I love my B18B and its pulling soooo well. Its fun to smoke other (lightly modded) civics (on the track) while I effortlessly shift at low rpms in 4th and 5th gears, meanwhile they are revving, banging 2nd and 3rd, and wondering if something is wrong with their car cause my rustbucket is steadily pulling away from them. ha ha ha.

My favourite spankings occur when all show no go (and only non-vtec) integras try to pass me and I discreetly floor it and pass them! The shocked look on their face when they see my rustbucket with 1.5 inch muffler pass them is hilarious.

I will never drive anything but sleepers.

yes but not ryuujin's 2 cylinder lol :D
