they're all good quality kits imo. my buddy has a g/e kit and has had no problems. i just bought a b20vtec longblock that also has a g/e kit on it. i dont expect any problems from it.

Re: what vtec conversion kit should i use for my b20v
i created my own, but i used ge parts. i used the ge dowels, but everything else i peiced together. the ge kit is real nice for the price, but i like to build things myself so i went the other route. i saved money but i spent alil more time in getting the engine done.

Re: what vtec conversion kit should i use for my b20v
in all honesty i never had a customer ask me for any other vtec other than golden eagle. i know for a fact i could make a bigger profit by selling any other name brand but my only worry is the bigger head ache that come from selling cheap ****. dont have a problem with company like blox either it gives the customers that are on a low budget a chance to buy decent parts at a low price..but always remember you pay for what you get.

Re: what vtec conversion kit should i use for my b20v
yes it does but the blox is a cheep china made copy of ours just like all their products. they have no minds of their own and i guess they cant design anything on their own. like i said before you get what you pay for. if you want cheep copied junk made in china use blox. if you want the real deal 100% made in the usa use golden eagle mfg. read Dave's blog from skunk2 http://cms.skunk2.com/id/279/Like-Skunk2-Prologue/
Also $180 isn't cheap in my book but its what I would expect to pay for a complete conv. kit.
Out of curiosity does anyone have any factual information on the Blox kit being unreliable?
If so I would like to see some. Sometimes peoples biased opinions can cloud the overall judgement of good products.., Especially on the internet.
Thanks

Well thats weird, I haven't heard any bad news on the Blox kit and I can't seem to find any bad reviews through search.
Also $180 isn't cheap in my book but its what I would expect to pay for a complete conv. kit.

Re: what vtec conversion kit should i use for my b20v
Like I said before above, I would like to see a bad review on the B20/V kit (that is the subject of the thread right the b20/V kit).
I could personally really careless about it being manufactured over seas.
The whole buy domestic or else thing is a pointless arguement imo.
Chevy does manufacturing in Mexico, Toyota manufactures in Kentucky.., thats the nature of the global economy that exist today. Just because something is manufactured in Taiwan I dont assume that its of poor quality. HKS, Tomei, Greddy etc. all do manufcaturing in Taiwan.
Quoted from Dave of Skunk2 himself, I read this entire article and found it humourous. The article is very informative but I found it funny how he put the other companies under the spotlight first but then kinda admits and does'nt denie the production of Skunk2 parts in Taiwan and then, list several other countries where their parts are manufactured.
Also he makes the point that alot of OEM parts on Hondas, Toy, Mitsu, and Nissan are manufactured in Taiwan.
Seems like alot of good companies are producing there stuff in China.
It was very informative overall and I just thought I'd share that.

"It is indisputable now that much of JDM = MIT (Made in Taiwan). Oops. Did I just shatter Humpty Dumpty for some of you? Sorry! But it’s all true!
So, are Skunk2 parts also made in Taiwan (among other places)? Well, what do you think? (But FYI, we also have parts made in EU, South America, Thailand, China, Vietnam, Canada, and the good ol’ USA.)

Re: what vtec conversion kit should i use for my b20v
I don't think anyone is disputing manufacturining Taiwan, the problem being highlighted was Blox does not design anything. There R&D is copying others designs. This was graphically seen in two cases: (1) brians intake BPI and (2) the 1st production runs of the P1 cams were copied from skunk2 Pro1 prototypes. Unfortunately, there was a epic thread about 2 years ago where the owner of Blox had to come out and defend himself.
