i know i know. " who cares wat ppl say its your choice" well i just want to hear it from ppl who know more knowdlege and experiance. remember for DD and some AUTOX. and both street built.

 

ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmm ..


so a stock sleeved b20 block @84mm, vs a ls sleeved block at 84mm... both with the same internals? is that what your asking?or both sleeved @84mm with same parts?

 

wow thats umm a long (mmmmmmmmmmm) haha.
to answer your question they are sleeved to 2.0 with probaly aftermarket internals/valvetrain, being the same parts. i also want to know whitch block is worth to sleeve to. with the b20 im going to sleeve it cause of the so called sleeves.

 

If both are resleeved they would be pretty much the same.

And if both are going to be resleeved and the end result is the same, why not start with the cheaper B18A/B block?

i thought a b20 was cheaper?

 

If they are both going to be sleeved, some of the sleeving companies don't like to sleeve b20s because of the one piece sleeves, it leaves less block material after the sleeving operation. I would do the LS.

 

LS for no other reason than you can get a block for 75 bucks.

 

i believe he said sleeved LS or stock b20 sleeve. id go with the sleeved LS

 

Nothing like a 2.0 liter engine stamped as a 1.8 liter.

Sleeved 2.0 LSVTEC.

 

.... i like the b20... i like the b20.....

In all reality though there after your talking about sleeving both motors to the same bore the ls is definately the best choice for more than one reason and they are covered in this thread by several members.

The b20 is not the best choice.

acually i said both are not stock. both being aftermarket. sleeved and parts.

 

all these reasons are really great about the B18b being the best choice. so wats up with this now that i hear you could put a type R oil griddle on the B18b blocks.

 

Yes, I did such a thing, just on a B18A block.

If you decide to do that, have the machine shop check if the mains are still in round with the new ones, and if not, align hone.

A stock B20 is cheaper than a resleeved LS. But a stock LS is cheaper than a stock B20. So if both are to be resleeved, the resleeved LS is FAR cheaper. The bottom line: a B20 is a better deal if you plan to run a mild, daily driven, non-VTEC setup. But if you plan to resleeve, an LS is by far the better deal.

 

stock b20 sleeves are weak and it is not reccomended to rev it past 8500 rpms

plus seeing a b18 stamp on a block is more sleeper than seening a b20 stamp

 

how does a ITR oil girddle fit on a B18b block.

 

There has been many, many threads covering such a thing, but basically...

You Need:

- ITR/GSR girdle
- ITR/GSR main caps 2,3,4
- ITR/GSR windage tray and oil pickup
- ITR/GSR oil pan

 

b20 all the way my b20/vtec set up is a daily driver reved up yo 7,500 all most every day still runs strong I have not had a problem with it so b20 b20 b20 b20 so what im trying to say is b20

and a well built 2.0 LS/VTEC resleeved and built to the bone would eat you up, unless you resleeved, which the LS block is still the better choice.

egh..i don't like this thread.

so can you tell me about this. would it help the oil pick up since its coming from a Vtec motor. so you cant just mechine a LS crank into a B18c block.

 

LS block Darton M.I.D sleeves and overbore FTW
