anybody ever boosted a b20?
im sure its been done hundreds of times. but just curious what kind of results with a boosted b20. not b20vtec. also how many psi could stock sleeves on b20 handle. curious cause everyone say they are weak sleeves?

Re: anybody ever boosted a b20? (Snoflake)
I had my b20vtec boostin around 10-12psi. Never knocked. (I logged a lot in the AEM ems). Was running strong for my t3/t4 (12.6@115mph)@10-12psi. But when i removed the head (spun a rod bearing), i saw all the sleeve cracked. They were cracked where they join on the other cylinder. The car was still running fine and never overheated...
So becareful with b20 sleeves.

My friend ran his for a while at 8psi on a large turbo with a shitty fmu setup no problems. He ran a 12.7 in it too.

combined with the fact that it was a stock block with a relatively mild tune.. ive seen people have to tune the **** out of a d to get high numbers, not to mention dohc heads flow better to begin with

Re: (wantboost)
TRUE but i meant with the price of the swap and the turbo goodies the d could keep up, for reference my friend had a boosted b20 on 8psi in an ek hatch, i had a boosted y8 in an ek coupe and i pulled him every time, but both of our cars were street tuned by the butt dyno. (he blew his motor long before i blew mine)

Re: (wantboost)
if you say so, dont get me wrong im not hating on the b20 at all. I'm just saying that dollar for dollar, you might be able to get the same hp from a d-series,

Re: (extrmeboost)
Im currently running 15psi on my stock B20 equipped CRX with turboedit. It pulls like a beast. The best Ive ran in it is a 13.1@113 with street tires @ 14psi with a 2.35 60ft still spinning in second. Its a great setup n I love it, top end is siiiiiick. PM if you have any questions.

Re: (2SLO)
i had my stock b20/vtec boosted and that **** was strong as hell. dont have any numbers but i can tell you that switching from a boosted D to a boosted B was the best decision i ever made.
.....until i overboosted (15-16psi ) and cracked ringlands on my #3. sleeves were cool. replaced the piston put it back together but i sold all my turbo **** and im all motor now.
....i suck
