after two years of boosting the SOHC i finally swapped in something with two cams. In april i started my B20VTEC project and last weekend i finished it up. Many props to the SOHC guys doing it hard but after driving my car i ask myself why i didnt do this sooner.

all OEM
B20B
B16 head
B16 tranny
ssautocrap mani....say what you want....im poor.
t3/t4 .57
P28 crome chipped.....untuned at the moment.

Nice. Did you port out the wastegate hole at all? There is a lot of leftover metal in there that gets in the way, and I think it is the cause of a lot of boost creep issues people have had with the SSAC manifold.

Since the B20 has more exhaust than a B18, I would be extra-careful about the wastegate.

 

thats a nice *** car. congrats on that setup how much boost do u plan on running?

 

i did notice the wastegate hole and i have to grind it out a little. i've already experienced the creep or spike if you will. with my boost controller turned all the way down i was still able to hit 14psi...only for a split second tho. im running off the wastegate spring now and im getting a good 8psi.

thanks for the props. im planning to run 10-11psi. my next purchase is a wideband which would be sometime after the 15th so until then its no boost.

i love this motor....tq is fun.

 

couple more pics i found

 

Traitor!

 

OEM goodness . I wondered why I ever wasted my time/money w/ the single slammers also when I switched out. Not bashing the D series Ninjas just my own personal preference is 2 cams and 1.8 liters

 

rolly: are you running a usdm washer fluid can or did you delete yours?

the new setup looks slick, i want to see what kind of numbers/times you put down with it this year.
what did you do with the Y8? sell the tranny or any of your spare Y8 trannies yet?

 

carefull with those b20 sleeves man...they cant handle too much power. i wouldnt go over 300-325whp if i were you. good luck!


overall nice setup though...mad props.
