My new setup for my new 90 crx SI (very clean, currently taking out door dings and repainting white)


<FONT COLOR="red">Setup:</FONT>
B20z block
B16 pr3 head, stock cams, type-r valvetrain
JG adjustable cam gears
ITR intake manifold
Nayhow MFG. Intake manifold gasket (same material as hondata, but only $35)
UR underdrive pully - looking for proof of them "ruining engines"
Clutch Specialties 6 puck clutch kit
LS tranny - ya i guess a b16 would be better for my times, but A) they are either a needle in a haystack to find, or grind B) its daily driven C) ls will give better traction on street tires and D) ive read up on it and from what ive seen the b16 tranny will only shave .1-.2 off my time, really not worth it to me
cams/exhaust undecided

B20z Block when pulled apart (6k kms original miles aka ~2,500 miles)


Motor assembled with pretty JG cam gears


ITR manifold and Nayhow gasket Manifold awaiting port matching then paint - gasket is basically a hondata gasket for $35


Motor and tranny getting "Universal Grey" high temp paint.
Im really sick of Red engines and valve covers, I thought I would go to the opposite extreme and make it bland as can be. Trying to not make it an eye catcher. DOHC V-TEC and Honda are all removed from the valvecover.

ya, the "Lsvtec vs poor mans R" thread lol.....i figured **** that ****, ill just go b20 lol......i think more about my daily driving the car, and not if i can rev it to 22k rpm lol.....ill just have fun and laugh at people with slow cars hehe

why on ur pully???

my long oil line gives me WAY more V-TEK9 power than a short one.......it gives me vtec lag (almost a turboed allmota lol).............anyways i just used what i have

 

I agree. No on the pully but whatever floats your boat. The VTEC oil line is to long as well. You want your VTEC to engadge later? Set it with a VAFC.

 

ok and again, why on the pully???? i got it with the motor and just figured, hey why not??? and what adverse affects will the line give me???? i honestly dont think it will matter one bit......but some factual input might change my thoughts......

o ya, thevanitygroup, i was totally kidding with the vtec lag lol.....i thought it was quite obvious, next time ill put [sarcasm][/sarcasm] around it... lol jk man

 

nice bro

 

ok well after searching the whole UR pully thing, this is what ive come to find out.......people claim they are not perfectly ballanced and will mess up your bearings......which i saw absolutely no proof of, but i cant rule it out......

if it is such a big deal to have it "perfectly balanced" has anyone EVER thought about the balancing of the clutches they use???? or the flywheels??? or even the bolts to connect the flywheel to the crank???? i have seen many people with random clutches, flywheels, and mix/match bolts and never seen a failure PROVEN to be caused by one of those parts.....I really just want to be proven (2+2=4 type thing) that the UR pully is no good, not just a person who blew up there motor and had a UR pully and said it was the pos pully that fried there bearings at 10k......sorry for the long post but this just seems like another HT "idea"....being that someone said they suck and so everybody jumped on the bandwagon and agreed.....(kinda like how everybody is "shooting for 200whp" with there all motor setup)

Please show me some facts, im not saying that they arent a POS, just havent seen anything proven

 

your such a queer , i bet a hype r manifold and tb would work out great on that motor.....haha bitch
oh yeah get in the zone

 

and why may i ask do you think the oil line is too long?

The fact is, its very difficult to 'prove' anything after meltdown @10krpm. Speculation through deduction is usually the only thing you can do...

 

well is there anything that even points at it being the UR pully??? cuz i doubt when people blow up there motor with a stock pully they EVER suspect it is the pully, or clutch.....another point is, a lot of builds involve aftermarket pistons/rods etc, and a lot of people dont balance those, but i dont see people blowing up there engine and saying "those ******* eagle rods werent 'perfectly' balanced", they just say well **** i blew my **** up lol......

 

I balance my flywheel and clutch assembly...
