How does the block on the JDM B20 stand against the Usdm block? Do they both have the same weaknesses?

Irishweird00

It's the same block

chad

THEY ARE THE SAME!!!!!!!!!!

virtually no differences that would cause a problem....

once again someone who HAS NO CLUE!!!


this is NOT TRUE.....i'm at 220 hp on stock b20 sleeves....have torn it down now 3 times and they show no unusual wear....


yes the sleeves are not as strong if you are boosting....

ya but the long stroke is a killer i try to keep my revs down but sometimes (alot) i get lead foot ha ha ha

There is no reliability difference between the two. However, earlier b20's had lower compressoin and made slightly less power than the 99-01 b20's. Just FYI incase your buying one.

Mag00n

What kind of cams do you have on your b20 that your making power at 8500?

i agree. the monolithic design lends itself to heat spots which in turn end up cracking the sleeves. I've yet to see this on a n/a b20 though, usually someone will have a spun bearing from revving too high before they make enough power to cause the heat spots

STOCK BOTTOMEND....b20z

TODA B's....power was made to 8500 ON STOCK ROD BOLTS!!!

38000 miles before i wanted more power

185 hp 142 tq on a dynapak dyno.....

Sounds like a fun car to drive. Very impressive that you made power that high.
