Just because it has 0.2L more displacement and the powerband is different doesn't make it a better platform. The B18a/b, B16, B18c motors are by far better platforms than the b20. That article I posted explains the b20 sleeve design pretty well and there is plenty more info floating around backing up that article. The sleeves on the B20's are junk, they cracked on me, and have cracked on a few of my friends setups, and yes the motors were all tuned very well. It's kinda hit or miss with these motors from what I have experianced, some have been fine with forced induction setups for a while, yet some b20's have cracked while they were still stock in the CRV's.</TD></TR></TABLE>
I totally agree with the weakness of the walls. like i said before its really a 2.0 liter engine designed to be 1.8
but they will always produce more power from those .2 liters of displacement. and you cant compare them to b16s or b18cs.... those are different because of vtec and the physics are totally different ... b18b and b20b are very comparable... the others are not.
a b20b is great if you resleeve it with better sleeves then your set. no worries about cracks.
