Ok I was on http://www.crvtec.com and here are a couple specs on the B20 motor.

97-98 126hp @ 5400 rpm
133 ft-lbs (18.4 Kg-M) @ 4300
8.8:1 CR

99-00 146hp @ 6200 rpm
133 ft-lbs (18.4 Kg-M) @ 4500
9.6:1 CR

I was expecting torque numbers on the 2.0 to be high(2.0 vs 1.8) but only by like 5lbs? If I were to swap a non VTEC motor, would it be worth it to save the extra motor for a B20 block? Please dont tell me "Slap a B16 head on there etc etc".
Thanks.

Whoday

tinkerbell

sorry, what was the question?

Sorry guys lol.
The question is, Is it worth it to save for a 2.0 block, or should I just keep the 1.8 block. This is more than likely an all motor setup, nothing too wild.

Both those numbers are for the b20b, and b20z.
The b18a, b18b has 140hp and 127tq, not the most impressive but does the job for me. If your every rollin in G-town im in the 6g hatch with LS rims

lazy bum shaughn

Is your hatch silver? Do you know Stephen Cereclajdkljfles?

97hb

Is that last name real?? No I dont know Stephen. My hatch is Black, but I know the dude with the silver one with black rotas. His shti is fast, but the bottle wins

lazy bum shaughn

Nah that's not his real last name, it's Cereceres or something, but if you were the guy I thought you were then you'd know who I ws talking about hehe. Anyway what part of Dallas are you in?

CHeck your email.

Thats max torque and also it makes that torque sooner then the LS. If you look at a b18 + b20 dyno graph comparison you will notice the b20 makes more low end torque. Basically the torque curve is moved up

tinkerbell

the torque curve is F A T T E R ! ! ! !

those are stock honda numbers too. slap on a ls im or skunk2 im and a good header and feed it a little more fuel and you will make 150-155hp and 140-145 tq. at least from what ive read and seen.

hehehehehe....can't wait to swap my b20 in like SUPERCIVIC....

SuperCivic

out with old, in with the new. now i'm trying to decide whether to ditch the 90 LS intake manifold and get a skunk2 or not.

zum01 chipped my p75 ecu for me. Too bad i can't try it ur ride, Ben.....

SuperCivic

obd 1 and my car just don't get along

From what I know, B20's aren't as cheap as an LS block... which you already have...

I say save the money and drop it on something else... It's only like 4 ft lbs of tq and a less than attractive R/S ratio.

I hope you don't want to do an LS or CRVT on stock compression pistons, do you ?

g's integ

nawhhh i think I'll stilck w/ no vtec for awhile. or just boost.

X2BOARD

Ohhhhh.... if you're going boost, you will forget that B20 existed right after you hit full spool. heh heh

lazy bum shaughn

I also hear that the B20 sleeves are weak, like for boost or high revving. Can anyone enlighten me on this?

Precision DC4

any truth in this?

b20 all the way. to many cars with the B18 already.

X2BOARD

I thought the B18 and B20 blocks were basically identical ?

tinkerbell

man, you are coming up with some known untruths...

not sure where you are getting them from.

maybe if you searched for some info to check out these wild fantasies before posting there would be ALOT less misinformation being created in this thread...

B20 has SOLID cylinders as opposed to sleaved...

making them STRONGER.

t..

Precision DC4

thanks for clearing that up. That's what I thought.

X2BOARD

What exactly do you mean by SOLID cylinder sleeves ? Are you referring to the deck ?

Please explain this...
