i want! can it realy be a b20 with a b16a2 head!

i cant see a oil line goin to side of the head,

is there a way to do a comp test an leakage test when its out of the car

DirtyDA9

LOL at VTECH. Looks dirty as fawk, but maybe worth a look. Not worth it's own thread though...

standy xsi

yea by the looks of it the guy's just running a wrecker's. the motoer's been probly owned by hoon.

owwhhh id have to disagree i asked a good question,

can you do a compression test and a leakage test with the engine out of the engine bay
i have spare loom and a barrel housing with starter. al thats needed is a crank isnt it? im not 100% sure

stocker2shocker91

does that website shp to the US?

b20v is a common mod motor, crv bottom end with a gsr top. also known as time bombs since the b20 bottom end was never designed to go to 8,000rpm

DirtyDA9

You would need something stable to hold the motor in place while cranking.

sebTeggy

Sure it was, just add ARP and u can go to 9 all day

DirtyDA9

I wouldn't go so far as to say 9k all day lol. Maybe 8k safely once in a while. But I can't really say that because I have never used a b20 bottom end..

ARP head studs, if that's what you're referring to, have nothing to do with the ability to rev high. It prevents head lift and are much stronger than stock studs.

The b20 block cannot handle high rpms, so it would need to get built, preferably with high compression pistons, stronger rods, new bearings etc. in order to take full advantage of the good flowing and high revving head

DirtyDA9

He meant ARP rod bolts. Really all you need, and maybe beefier rods, preferably forged. But forged rods come with ARP's anyway, so it's a win win lol.

how do you know its a b20?.. theres no info about that on the website..
go check it out. and if you like it. get it.

i dont think the guy knows wtf hes talking about.. hence why he said it came out of a crvxi or whatever.. sounds like bullshit to me. prolly just a b16 or gsr

sebTeggy

Wtf are you talking about? The block is perfectly fine, it can handle 10 lbs of boost, it can handle high revs. Also, the strength of the rod has NOTHING to do with maximum revs. You will never trash a rod, or bend a rod from revving, you'll **** it up from boost!

Rods are fine. LS Rods are the strongest stock honda rods EVER EVER EVER EVER made. Just compare them to GSR rods and see for yourself

If you wanna rev high, you need to add arp rod bolts so you don't spin a bearing.

BACK TO THREAD!

Its probably just a b20vtec. But I doubt the owner knows anything since he keeps sayin vtech

racebum

please don't give anyone advice if you actually believe this...

DirtyDA9

LS rods are poop.

Bond

Oh lord there is some horrbile information in this thread. I'd suggest the OP just searches previous threads on the topic. Nothing useful in here.

And just so you know OP, rods do not experience perfectly verticle loads only. There are many reasons for rod failures.

Thanks bro...after reading his response, I didn't even know what to say. Lol you just can't help some people.

Yes, LS rods are the strongest EVER!!!!!

And thats the reason why the Honda F1 cars choose them, and that's the reason why LS blocks should be rebuilt if going over 300whp correct? F20c and F22c stock blocks can handle over 700whp, so you're extremely mistaken if you think LS rods are the strongest that Honda "ever made".

You have not one clue about what you're talking about. Please don't misinform people. Thanks

sebTeggy

LS is the strongest B series rod*

Its built to handle a shitty r/s ratio.................... According to what Ive heard?


ANYWAYS, I'm not a metallurgist, but for n/a applications, ls rods are FINE.

kyden

lol ls rods are NOT the best b series. they are toothpicks. but with arp rod bolts you can rev them quite high.

See this is exactly what I meant last time I posted on something you said. You sir IMO have no business touching a car after reading this. Stop regurgitating **** you read on H-T. There's a 90% chance it's something that whoever posted it had **** back out from somewhere they read it. We have enough mis information out there already. STOP

This one thread pretty much sums up the whole integra section on HT. I dont know why I even came in here

DirtyDA9

I take offense to that! I live in this section!
