b20b and boost????????
i'm lookin into buyin a b20b and thinking about putting my turbo kit on it.......until my sleeved b16 block and head is done.......my question is is this a decent motor for boost??? and is my t3/t04e turbo gonna work decent on this engine??? anyhow if anyone has a boosted b20 post your motor/turbo info, i've heard horror stories that the b20's have weak sleeves?

Two things kill: detonation and over revving. A straigt B20 will handle 7-8 psi no problem, but take some timing out to (~1 deg/lb). Limit the revs to 7500
I run a B20 VTEC-T with a 1.92 mm head gasket to bring down CR to 9.0. Stock B20B CR is 8.8 to 9.0 (I've heard differently from different sources)
A B20B w/a VTEC head will give you a 10.9:1 CR. That's why people blow them.

Re: b20b and boost???????? (FUCATYPR)
on a b20z with a t3/t04e turbo, on hondata, with rc injectors, i beleive they are 860's it it safe to say i could get around 300whp on 10psi, or is that pushing it too much, this just has to be my driver until my b16 is done, but i want it to be fast so just incase i my motor doesnt' get done until after summer i have something fun and quick to drive this summer at the track

Re: b20b and boost???????? (turbopanda)
what block guard is that, something you make or is that like an str one??? i think a press in block guard would be an inexpensive fix, as long as it's tuned correctly wich mine will be.......i'm tryin to figure out what kinda numbers i'm gonna be able to turn outta the motor on around 15psi and what it will run in my si hatch....

you sure its a 10.9:1 ? I just did a compression cal. on c-speed site. I got 9.0 with b16 head , 3 layer head gasket, b20b piston, b20 block.

The one thing that needs to be replaced when turboing a B20 block is the crankshaft. Replace it with a B18B for turbo
i hear block guard is prone to detonation.. because it creates a little hotspot at the top of your cylanders.

Re: b20b and boost???????? (irev210)
thats some great info......thanks 
does anyone think that i could run low 12's on slicks, with this setup on my b20z:
stock b20z with press in block guard
hybrid turbo kit, setup for b16, has t3/t04e turbine
hondata s200b with 860 rc injectors
ls tranny, with lsd
the car is a relatively lightened 92 si hatch, with full interior.......should be around 2600 with me as driver and i weight about 250......could it possibly be faster, or am i lookin at much slower times?

Re: b20b and boost???????? (TwistedHatch)
dustin your car will be potty knock muhahaa.. Cuz you didnt take pictures under the full color change..
And my sohc turbo will hit 12's before yours ever does...
well maybe not.
Who knows I am a skinny *** and my car is light as ****.
Just go to johns and buy a damn b20z and be done with it. Put your turbo on and be done with it till frank does your b16. I want to ride in that car with a turbo again!!@!@!@!@!@!@!@!@ No fmu and missing link this time.. But anyways you will be fine with block guard and tuning up to 10-15 psi

Re: b20b and boost???????? (turbopanda)
The problem with b20's are they crack between each cylinder. The lining on b20 cylinders are one piece where as b18c and others have separate linings for each cylinder. Dont know if that sounds right but if you compare the two side by side you'll see.

Re: b20b and boost???????? (turbopanda)
now heres another question, i have an ls tranny, that i'm goin to install a type r lsd into........my question is for the b16 i was gonna put the jdm itr final drive into it, thus giving me wider 3rd,4th,and 5th gear.......should i leave it alone for the b20 and just install the lsd??? i heard the b20 makes like peak torque at like 3000rpm...is this true?
