B20/vtec Rod choice.
Hello, I'm about to start putting together my B20/vtec for my hatch. I don't plan on sleeving the block, I want it to be a mild all motor build. I want to use an after market rod but don't know who to go with, I've been looking at Eagle and Brain Crower. Also biso-moto seems to make a sick rod. I'm just looking for input from people who have used these products, or has any better recommendations. Thanks.

Believe it or not, some places charge extra to sleeve a b20.. not alot of people carry the correct machine to sleeve b20's.
A block guard will be sufically if you plan on staying under 260whp.. b20 sleeves are strong in themselves as long as the motor is properly tuned.
I run GE rods in my own b20vtec, however
scat,ge, crower all make great rods.

Re: B20/vtec Rod choice.
i went with eagle rods and no block guard but then again im sure im gonna be way under the 260 hp mark i should be right at the 200 whp mark and its a daily driver so not much harsh abuse will be done to it. and if it wasnt for me using forged pistons to get the desired compression i wanted i would of just used stock rods

Im not misinformed, I just don't like them for the reasons stated above. And you're lucky, if i EVER had one installed DonF is probably one of 2-3 people I would ever trust to install it.
