Re: b20vtec project almost finished!! (jayden)

Sounds like a good setup, but

or a dyno. What size shot do you plan on running?

Been wanting to use that.

What cams? No aftermarket rods and pistons? Flywheel? Might as well throw it all in.

That 5 angle valve job was a waste of money.

Re: b20vtec project almost finished!! (DSeriesBKilla)

Actually I've always wondered what the benefit is to a 5 angle valve job? Don't mean to jack the thread.

We have a OEM SI clutch in my girlfriends 99 SI (its stock) and it can BARLY hold that. If you shift hard it slips really bad. Ive already gotten a new clutch for it im just waiting until its totally dead to replace it.

Dont waste your time on the OEM clutch..its aweful. If you wanted to keep it OEM you should have gotten a teg typeR clutch - its the same price.

Re: (xlerate93)

yes that clutch wont last at all.
i hope you modified the pistons at least by making the valve reliefs
deeper. unless you used aftermarket pistons.

don't expect that bottom end to last without it being balanced and strengthened
with a z10 block girdle and arp rod bolts.

no you do NOT need to modify the pistons for valve reliefs....i clayed a b20with si head with toda b's at +-5 degrees and nothing touched the pistons!!!!

bottomend will last if you don't rev over 8200.....mine had 38000 miles before i finally spun a bearing....and that was with over 20 race weekends (roadracing) over 300 drag launches.....2 cross country trips....etc....engine will last!

not to jack a thread or anything but I think that it would beneficial to know what all it takes to make the B20 bottom end good and reliable to rev to 9K and be reliable on a daily driven basis with track days and the occasional trip to the strip?

Re: b20vtec project almost finished!! (2lua)

motors in, still need the last tranny mount but the motor is in. Im having a friend wire this nightmare up tommorrow so hopefully with everything going right it will run tommorrow. Whats with everybody sayin my motor will die? Two of my friends have b20s with 17000 miles on them and those motors havnt had the easiest lives. I paid 50 bucks for a brand spankin new clutch, ok Im gonna burn it up 5000 miles from now, no big deal. I used my friends digicam which blows major ***, Ill get mine and post some pix up later.

A.) It was probably only an extra $80.00 and
B.) you're wrong. And unless you have a flowbench, I don't want to hear an arguement. My brother's 12.7:1 CR JDM GSR felt better up top after he got a 3-angle.
