just wat is it with the reliability issues concerning a b20 vtec setup? i've heard thats its a ticking time bomb waiting to leave u stranded. anybody have any problems running this setup? is it true its a not so reliable setup? wat the deallie fo sheezy?

 

There is nothing unreliable about them. The B20VTEC is a very questionable though being how the iternals in that motor were never made to go to 8000rpm. With a rod and piston upgrade they do ok. Just be sure to get a clean hone in there without taking too much off the sleeves. They have a low rod ratio, but the motors hold up if you if you taKe care of them.

Just be sure that whoever puts it together knows what they're doing.

 

mine is running strong with no problems

 

a girdle and oil squirters should do the trick
