i jsut got my DA yay!!! and in the xmas spirit i will start to build my engine soon. i have a spare b20z with a blown ringland (turbo owned me) and now i am thinking of rebuilding it for all motor. i just wanted to see how u guys liked it. i mean for me this will be the hardest platform for me to endure. i have never had a car go slower than a 15.0 and that was only because of a leaky headgasket. and i kno i am running a much heavier car than my 2200 civic. but as far as the setup will go it will be stock phk pistons(balanced w/rod bolts), cut gsr head, s1 b16 cable trans, CTR cams w/itr valvetrain, skunk2 IM, and a RPM 64mm TB runnin either neptune or hondata. nothing flashy just bare basics.
as far as i am goin for someone who has had a setup similar to this i just wanted to kno in ur opinion, where u (a)-satisfied with the power it made on the street/track. and (b)-did it hold up well the the abuse?
also what did u guys with b20z stock no vtec run at the track
my db8 ran 15.2 at 88mph in the summer heat-july at the import atlanta tunerfest shootout, but that was with bfg ta drags and 2.1 60 ft. times
and obviously not a b20z but the lowly p3f pistoned b20 (had my pr4 ls head on it and skunk2 im)
sounds like a good setup and it will run hard …just make sure you have it built right …and tuned correctly …hondata would be a good investment …
i finally got my b20vtec in, oh my god… it feels so nice to hear that vtec kick in… :rockon: eventhough i did not do it, i did alot of research and got the balls to send it to josh… i need to get a skunk2 manifold, and im currently running w/o intake the thing is really loud… it has great gas effeciency 250 to the tank, and the power when i need it
i recommend this swap to anybody…
definetly do that swap, you need the vtec head though, i Have an ls block w/gsr head, and a 93 gsr tranny i ran a 14.8. the only difference between ls and b20 is the bore, b20 is 84mm compared to ls 81mm. both the motors have the same stroke.
