How much horsepower (flywheel and at the wheels) does it have? Is it worth the money? Is it a reliable engine?

 

completely stock between 160-175hp

 

is the b20z really worth that much more to have than the b20b?

the B20B has a 8.8:1 compression ratio
the B20Z has a 9.6:1 compression ratio

for N/A the more compression the better. but even the B20Z's compression isn't high enough to make any serious N/A power. i would swap those pistons out for something with a 11:1 minium.

 

****, B20B....swap the head.

 

the B20z (us) has 10 more horsies that the B20b.

why?

 

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by IVI &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">why?</TD></TR></TABLE>because gsr has dual stage vtec and b16 has same as typer vtec it just hits really hard much harder than gsr.

 

so use a b16 head just because it 'hits' harder than a gsr head? or because its more like a 'type-r'?

a b20 has so much more torque that its not even neccesary to rev high like a typical b16 motor to get the same output.

and anyway, secondaries can be turned off.

 

you know alot about cars IVI A R K.....
i appreciate the information....

 

im doin a b20b with a gsr head, im goin allmotor for now, so far i have done the oposite of what everybody has said here.

 

as for now, i have 6 puck ACT xtreme clutch, 8 lb prolite fly wheel, 4-1 header, and the rest is stock. this is on a B20z block and GSR head
