would a b16 swap, with a b20z shortblock, stock internals, be reliable for daily driving? if not, what would need to be replaced? would you have problems if you just slap together the b16 and b20? thanx

http://www.crvtec.com would be good reading for you right now. Go there.

I have a daily driven b20/vtec. 20k on the engine & its stock bottomend & stock b16a head w/ cam gears. Rev it to 7200 daily driven & 8200 while on track. Im not kind to it.

Pete

built many setups before PEST?

no dramas on the 2.0VTEC?

which ECU are you running?

2.5in exhaust?

been to a track?

trix are for kids goto http://www.c-speedracing.com/howto/b20vtec/b20vtec.html when you have read crvtec.com

k thanx

mr pest. I've been considering a 7200 rpm rev limit for my b20/v i'd like to build as well. I've been wondering tho, where the power of a stockish crvtec starts to drop off. Does it still pull hard up to 8.2k or can you notice a petering off somewhere?

ya, any times or dyno figures on your setup? thanks

daver, i know this is a lame question but have you seen http://www.importreview.com/d_2.0.html

this provides hope for us both...

8500rpm+

Daily driven here, and a Sol, too! I have the exact same setup you are talking about, but we switched out the rod bolts with some ARP ones. Soon to be boosted................

yepper, i've seen those, but even the lowest one is all souped up and the tork line is strong up to 8k+. Nobody ever posts "stock" crvtec charts tho (which is probably as far as i'll go with my plans- if i wanted a gas guzzler, i'd just buy a v8 american car hehehe )

My stock B20/VTEC setup is at about 173 HP to the wheels per Blitz Power Meter. Seems to be pretty acurate. No chart, though...

I made 235 to the wheels with Spec B's. I have a built crvtec with JG pro series gsr head. I have yet to have any problems with it, very reliable

what mods? so all you did was replace the rod bolts? what about the pistons? thanx
