Haha, yes I know there's a long post about all-motor b20's started by me on this board, but I've got a couple of questions about a b20 turbo (and yes, I have already searched).

What sort of numbers do boosted b20's put out, are the reliability worries any more, and do you need to get a custom kit? If the base price of a b20/b16 is $1200 including install, how much do you think it would cost total to have a good/reliable turbo set-up? TIA

 

You can get a turbo kit from between 2700(Greddy)-6000(importbuilders)
sleeves are 585 from GE's group buy,
Hondata 2b 650 through GB,
Eagle rods and JEpistons 500+
gauges 260+
fuel pump,injectors,blowoff valve, wastegate,tuning, tuning,tuning 700+
Boosted B20's depending on boost can put down anywhere between 225@5psi - 372.4hp 266.4 ftlbs@12psi- 497+@17psi (numbers vary these are just the only numbers I have actually seen dyno graphs on)

 

Ok, I heard that crv sleeves are already very strong? Is it important that I upgrade these when I put the engine together? If not it's a cost I'd really like to not deal with. The $700+ for fuel pump, bov, and wastegate all come w/ the Revhard Stage 2 kit. I will upgrade the injectors and do lots of tuning though. I definately want to get forged rods and pistons. What sort of compression ratio is good for a boosted car? Also, what electronics am I going to need. I know I'll need a turbo timer, but if I get a hondata I won't need a V-AFC or anything. I don't know anything about boost controllers, so I guess I'm going to have to research those. If I go boosted and not N/A then my goal is a high 12 to low 13 second quarter mile time on street tires.

 

My old setup before I got bored of it. Turbo B20 in my EG hatch, boosting 12 lbs daily (before I went H22). Email me if you have any specific questions on it.

 

E-mail on the way

 

I'd sleeve it if I were you, especially if you're planning on boosting it. This was high-compression n/a b20vtec:
