Default What is a good crank to use in a B20 LS/VTEC??

I was wondering if anyone has either built a B20 LS/VTEC or has had experience with them. Is the stock B20 crank strong enough to handle boost? Are there other B series cranks that will work better? lemme know.

i gotta crvtec in my ek and just went with with stock bottom end from the b20. does fine lots of pull and play. i would say you are fine to leave it. iv been told both head and crank of a stock honda can handle 500hp. unless you are ganna do some kinda forced then the stock crank is ok. if you are ganna do forced induction then i might suggets a new crank. just my 2 pennies

b20 crank is the same as the ls crank cranks can take plenty of abuse. Its the rods and pistons you should worry about.

ls and b20 crank is the same. i would suggest sending out the crank for a high speed balance and polish. the crank will be fine for boost, but the sleeves on b20's suck and can easily crack even on low boost.
