i have a question on internal parts in the b20 block i am needing to replace the piston rings in it, and am not sure which size to get because the head is a b18 too, I am going to put stronger ones in it because i have a turbo to put on it. If i need to get b20 rings where can i get them, And i am going to need to get a thicker head gasket , Whick applacation for that too. Thanks if you can help me out

First off, turbo's and B20's have a particularly bad history with each other. You don't need "stronger" rings, you just need new ones. Ring material choice is highly dependent upon piston and sleeve material. If you have OEM pistons and OEM sleeves, then use OEM rings. They should be about $100 for the complete set from a dealership. Cometic makes pretty good thick headgaskets, I've used a few of them and never had problems.

 

thanks for the info, that will save me some cash then, what would be a safe boost on the car, 8 to 10 lbs,
thanks
