Default what all is needed to build a boosted b20b vtec??

im currently building a b20b vtec turbo to swap in my integra.. im running the block with a b18c and gsr tranny. i was just wondering what all is need to do the conversion. i know alot of the b20b components are similiar to the b18c like water pump, oil pump, girdle, oil pan etc. and i know the cranks are different which i already have an ls eagle knife edged crank. but what else goes into this build. what oil lines have to be switched from the head to block etc. please give me what you got. be specific. thanks

Oil pump and girdle are not the same on a B18c1 and a B20.

Ill tell you my setup I had:

B20B block
LS Crank
Eagle LS Rods (but you can use stock LS ones too and buy ARP rod bolts for them)
Wiseco pistons but you can use the OEM LS ones to lower comp if you plan not to boost too much.
GSR oil pump
LS windage tray
LS oil pickup
ITR/GSR (P72) water pump (dont use and LS. At higher RPMS it will cavitate instead of moving water)
Tapped ls oil pan (i eventually changed this to a moroso)

B16 head (tapped for Vtec)
Type R intake manifold
ITR Cams
ITR Valvetrain
Type R TB
Dowel Pins
LS IACV
LS/Vtec sandwich plate (google it and you will see what it is)

Oil line to go from sandwich plate to the new tapped fitting on head
oil line to go from sandwich plate to turbo

Turbo manifold
Turbo
Turbo drain line
intercooler
charge piping
BOV
Wastegate

hmmm, might be missing stuff

I meant to say oil pump, windage tray and oil pickup are different. B20s dont have block girdles.

Everything in a B20 is different than a B18C1

Use what I posted and have fun when its done.
