Default B20/vtec few questions..

I'm planning to build a B20vtec with my first gen. b16a but these questions in my mind hindrance me to this project.

1. Do I need to use standalone Computer Box and set my vtec trigger to 4.5 or lower rpm? Coz I know b20 block can't handle above 7000rpm. (Do I make sense in this one?)

2. How can I strengthen b20 cylinder wall that is capable enough to handle huge rev?

3. If it’s much better to replace rod bolts? What kind of rod bolts?

4. Do block guard advice-sable for this project?

5. Do I need to change my piston?

Please help. All suggestions are welcome.. Thanks for now..

Having your VTEC crossover that low is probably gonna hurt you more than help you... Leave it at about 5100-5200.

Sleeving the block will help but theres a lot more to it than that.
