Weak bottom end on B20B?
I've been thinking about going with a B20B block and either a B16 or B18C head, but I was told that I'd be likely to spin a rod bearing. Something about how the B20B shouldn't be taken past 7,000rpms. I rode in a B18 head with B20B block at the track on Sunday and it was insane, I didn't find out much about the guy's car though. Thanks for the help...

Re: (VXpower)
Not sure, but you do need to find out what the crankshaft is balanced to (IE RPM). At least I would before I started on a big project. I'm sure you'll make some nice power with a B16 tranny, B20 block, and B18B head/IM. Is the bore on teh B20 larger than the B18 bore or is it just more stroke?

every stock B20 VTEC I have seen taken regularly past 7000 rpm has either broken a rod or cracked a cyl. wall. The piston speed is too fast for stock internals. It's a great combo if you keep it under 7000 rpm, stock, or get it sleved and upgrade the rods and pistons.
