well i wish i had that money, im goin to local junkyards tomorow. could i put a b16 crank in a b20>
depends.... whats the displacement on the b20?importlegions said:well i wish i had that money, im goin to local junkyards tomorow. could i put a b16 crank in a b20>
I definatly want to start with the b20 platform. What do you think would be the cheapest and most reliable, b20vtec or b20 turbo, also I figured since the CRV block has such a bad rod stroke ratio, but crazy torque, would it be worth it to keep a b20vtec at the stock LS rev limit or perhaps 7500rpm, and stil run hard.iamgod said:here is a dyno chart of an LSVTEC using a B16a head plotted against a LSVTEC w/ a B18C(1) head
"Subject: LS/VTEC with GSR head VS B16A head similar mods.
This is a VERY good comparison to look at...
Question: What is the best head to put on my LS/VTEC, GS-R or B16A?
Answer: In the opinion of Atomic and myself, I have to go with a GS-R head.
Look at the graph...here is the 2 motors..
On 1 side we have the LS/VTEC B16A head...coming in at 180 HP...
The bottom end is EXACTLY the same as the GS-R LS/VTEC...exactly...
so it makes for a good comparison.
B16A has:
port flow port/polish (mild)
Civic Type-R intake cam
ITR exhaust cam
Comp valve springs/retainers
Type-R intake manifold
GS-R head has:
Stock head
Stock valvetrain
Stock intake manifold
ITR cams, intake and exhaust.
and it made a little more power, as you can see by chart.
With the GS-R head, you also will definitely get more torque.
For the money though, B16A head is a good choice.
Remember, this is not a perfect test, it just shows a pattern....
