Alright, I want to be able to beat a Type-R with I/H/E in a race, and Im considering getting a B20 block cuz its cheap. Then later going VTEC with it, but for now, will this be enough, with my factory LS tranny, or should I get a clutch and flywheel? Will that even be enough? Or is my best bet a GS-R swap? But my problem is that I dont have that much money to spend right now, and if I get the B20 Im dropping it in myself the way I get it from the junkyard, plus Im considering a ACT clutch and Fidanza 7lb flywheel. Does anyone have any clue wether that should be enough to give the type-R a good run, or any suggestions?

Thanks.

 

It can be done with a B20 but im not sure if all you need is I/H/E... You need to look into some Cams and a good valvetrain.. Look into a ported head and maybe a intake manifold... then you should give it a run for its money...

 

it will be enough... if you go b20 vtec. 140 hp vs. 197 hp is no match, youll need a hell of alot more than boltons to run with it. yes, low end torque is nice, but bottom line is, he will still spank you with boltons.
