I just put in a fresh jdm b20 in my integra but i want more power, should a b16 head and tranny with performance clutch be good and will it support redline pass 7000 rpm with stock bottom end?

 

you'll be fine as long as you don't beat the **** out of it everyday all day

i would recommend getting it tuned though, and pay attention to where you stop making power....if it's 7000rpms, then there's no need to rev to 8k....

 

B20s arent known to rev higher then 7000 unless you put mad work to it
it doesnt really matter what head you get... but if you get b16 all the type r parts fit on it... I have a ls vtec with a b16 head and i put gsr cams in it.. It works real nice 8500 shift point

 

I wouldnt take it past 7 with stock bottom... heres my setup and the power curve levels out at 7500 with the rev set at 8200...JDM B20B
Civic Type-r Head
ARP Head studs
Polished Crank
Eagle rods
JE 12:1 Compression Pistons

 

i feel another ls/v bash coming along here.......

with shot peed rods, and new rod and head bolts it should be fine up to around 8000 at least. but like graf-fiti said if your not making power up till 8000 theres no point to go up there.

 

With a b20 you shouldn't even hit 7k. Even for a b20 vtec that's way too high, imo.

if you build it right then you shouldnt have anything to worry about, you may want a b20z block though, i think they have thicker cylinder walls.

edit: wait i think you already said you had a jdm b20, so forget about the b20z thing

 

Eh, I've played with b20s for awhile. I never liked them mixed with vtec.

b20 vtec it always better. go with that choice. get a good header also and dont forget the b16 tranny.

well everyones gonna have different opinions on lsvtecs and crvtecs, ive seen them go up 275 hp, so they can make good power if you know what youre doing (not saying you dont)

 

Yeah I know they do, they're nice when you don't have the budget for a Gsr. But I do know where you're coming from.

 

dont listen to that bs bout you cant rev to 7 or higher!! the crank and bottom are almost the same as a gsr the diff is a gsr is just balanced better. I was worried bout the same thing till i read sumthn on it...

VERY true!!!! I will try to find the thread it was on Hondaswap But im just sayn if it makes power past 7 then y not go for it.. Im not saying everywhere you go WFO but every once in a while for ***** and giggles is ok cuz it can handle it..
