Default b20 vtec build... fit a $7k budget?

how much would it run me to build a b20 vtec? im thinking b20 block, type r head, jdm type r 4.785 tranny, and other parts.

around how much would the whole setup cost? do you think it would fit a 7k budget?

i would want to make it have 11:1 compression so a block guard would be needed. what is the best crank to use to make it have the best rod stroke ratio to rev high?

I would think it would be less if you buy parts individually. Unless you are stuffing aftermarket parts in the block and factoring in a quality header/etc, I think you could do it for less.

listen up, go to a junk yard and find a Honda CRV, hit in the rear, like totaled in the rear, tell em you will drop the block take the block, at the most 200$, then go online and find a JDM B18c1 (GSR) head for about 300$, put it together with the JDM Type R tranny wit the LSD and the 4.1 and youll be set total estimate if done right, no more that 3gs!

B16 head is the same as Type R, flows the same.

You can build one for around $3000.

keep in mind it won't be terribly reliable.

You need to talk to a good shop and tell them you want a B20VTEC, 7k is easily enough to build a badass motor that will make real good power. If you are in SoCal pm me and I will refer you to the place that did my LS/VTEC, they worked with my budget and I am real happy with the results. If not try to look around for a good shop in the area - best way is to go to the local drag strip and talk to anyone running 13 second all motor street cars, they should know a good place to get work done at...

the build is not that hard, it doesn't take a real genious to do. As long as you are not planning on changing the pistons on it (get b20z1 which will give you 10:1 compression). Just oil pump, arp rod bolts, arp head bolts, and take for oil. that's all you really need to do.
