will this work, would it give the car a higher compression ratio, would it be a noticeable hp and torque gain

 

yes it will work, many people done this swap and made good power from b20/vtec setup..

 

ive heard of the b20/vtec but was guessing most people use a b18 head

 

b18 vtec head b16 vtec head = b20/vtec

 

I hope you don't mind me asking:

What is an LS/VTEC

and if I'm doing a B16 head on B20 block, then its a B20/VTEC as the thread above me said.

Does H22A2 Head work on a B20 block, any good results?

 

a ls/vtec = ls bottom end with a b16 or b18c head

and no a h22 head wont work on a b-series block

 

Wow, ain't I so lucky... we have 2 cars with a B16 on B20 block... one of them just blew yesterday, it was running fine for 9 month... so now he's planning on going turbo... so Im checking with you guys... is 300whp safe on a b16 head b20 block I mean, we will put CP pistons and ARP studs and ACL bearings... with a block guard is that enough to make a B16 b20 block take 10 - 12 PSI? 300whp or 350whp is max we're aiming for cause we bearly race with slicks we have an empty airport that we race in there no drag strips yet! so slicks are useless...

 

dont quote me but doesnt the b16 have same casting as ctr?

 

exactly how 'safe' do you want to be here?

 

Where have you been the last couple years?

Even if you were to be a noob you can google it and have thousands of results in 1.074 seconds

 

I mean safe as in its a daily driver... and the guy is a dumbass, he goes full throttle alot! But please no making fun, you know some people just can't control the vtec power , no seriously, but I do want it to be reliable...

 

if you want a build and leave it car for boost then you will be better off in the long run with an LS. yes a B20 can be tuned brilliantly and be ok, but personally i woulnd't run a stock sleeve boosted B20 as a daily. you just can't guarantee how it will go.
ya you lose 2 tenths, but make it 15psi instead.

then of course the piston of your choice and if you don't intend to go for crazy boost later, grab some $300 eagles and be happy with the block.

 

stock b20 sleeves are too thin to boost
best to use a 1.8 block from a ls/gsr

 

so.. if we go with

B16 with CP bigger but low comp pistons, ACL bearings, stock redline, fuel pump 440cc injectors some people say go higher than 440cc's, umm block guard...

Would that reach 300whp safely? lets say we have a not so perfect tune, cause no one knows how to tune for **** in my country...

 

then forget the B20

 

alright fair enough thats what I proposed on them too, and I said since there are no b18's here... (NONE) we should go with either an H22a or a B16, but both of them love high revs... so I guess B16 is the way... can someone tell me what else do I need to add to my post #14 to make 300whp attainable with a b16?

Thanks

 

hmmm, im not really a boost guy, but some minor port work, some cams that will work well with turbo, and i would say 18-20psi. and a good manifold like the victor x

 

factory cams are perfect for turbo dont waste your money there, just get good pistons, rings and maybe rods if you got the cash but def head studs, good head gasket "cometic" and a good tune! tuning is gonna be the answer to how long it lasts, the right spark plugs, ign and fuel timing, everythings gotta be perfect spend the money have a reputable shop tune it, s300 would be a big help also. and hone those cylinders so the new rings get a good seat.
