[ner0x]

that's an ls motor... lol

 

[bklynEG]

uh do you know what a b20b looks like? well thats one .

 

[ner0x]

i've only seen one b20 and it had an sir head... looks like an ls motor, lol... so what is the code for the b20 with vtec?

 

[ner0x]

lol i feel dumb... the ls manifold is totaly different.

im planing on doing it, doesnt seem like it would be to hard/enexspensive really, the most expensive thng would be the gsr tranny

 

[bklynEG]

b20b only came non vtec , until you put the dohc vtec head on it. i just got a b16 head for mine and will be putting it on soon

 

[ner0x]

anywayyyy. bklynEG how does it run? is it in a hatch..? have you ever taken it to the track?

 

[importlegions]

whcih cost WAAAY to much for the hp and reliability problems, besides u have to have the block repeged for the head bolts and tapped oil pan for the vtec head, 140 hp and 137 lbs of trq is fine for me

 

[bklynEG]

yeah its in a 93 cx hatch. run pretty quick , high 14's when i put the vtec head on it should be alot quicker. my buddies runs 13's all day with that setup.

 

[ner0x]

not worried about that... i can get anything for a b series motor i just wanna know how it runs.

was the wiring hard to do?

 

[bklynEG]

well if you can get the right parts and do it right. it can be very reliable.

 

[importlegions]

could u use ur stock cx ecu? or was the crv one required? ga i cant wait till i can order mine

 

[importlegions]

did it make ur stock springs sink to low tho? i had a friend who complained that it would cause a problem?

 

[ner0x]

mrhmm... 13's i wonder how it would preform with a built motor.

 

[importlegions]

im hpn like for 11s fully built

 

[ner0x]

yeah i was gunna ask also was the vtec wiring hard for your friend?
