This is not your run of the mill, witch is better crvtec or built b81c question. I currently have a gsr teg. I bought a b20 to do a vtec head swap because along with the daily driver duties of my car I also need to tow my dirt bike and trailer around. Some people have told me to ditch the b20 and just build the b18c. Torque and reliability in towing is my main concern. Some help or thoghts?

 

you have a hitch on your integra?

 

I know it sounds funny but yes its a " hide a hitch" thats detachable.

 

thats cool.. well honestly the increased displacement of the b20 would be easier for torque.. crv

 

or a H-series.
i'm gonna build my gsr to 84mm, but its stil not a 2.0 kuz the crank is smaller than that of a crv.

 

I have a hitch on my prelude and pulled my hatch across the country from Mississippi to Califormia!

 

Thanks for your thoughts. Well I've got a strong B18c so I cant afford to ditch it for a H series right now. Anyone else have thoughts. Seems a lot of people are having problems with there b20 swaps. The extra weight like 1100 pounds might make the temp rise too much?

 

Bump

 

for a small dirtbike either motor should suffice.
my buddy he's on hondatech had a d16 delsol...hooked up a trailer and trailered his ls1 swap from texas to chicago with no problems.

the same delsol with a b18 pulled another b16 delsol (non-running complete 100% non-gutted car) from st. louis to chicago. u'd think we live in the "sticks" or middle of nowhere with these hilarious tasks. but no from chicago. heh.

honda's aren't made for towing...both motors running strong to this day

Whats up Ed? Its Rick(Got the Gsr tranny from you. Drove to TN from FL and you came from Chicago to TN!)

yeah I used my Prelude to tow my hatch from Mississippi to San Diego in 3 days!

 

oh yeah, not on a trailer or anything... but my friend with a gs-r swap in his eg towed my eg hatchback (~2100lbs) down the road with a tow strap just fine..

 

if it is a daily driver, just build the b18c; better r/s ratio = increased longevity of your motor. Crvtec = eat **** and die!!!

no trailer here, just a tow bar and tow hitch!
