OK guys finally financially swap capable...Wanting to do a B20 Vtec swap into my EG - plans for turbo B20 Vtec later.....What do i Initially need..i.e. what linkage, Cv joints...what head makes more power the b16 or GSR heads?...already have a OBD1 GSR tranny with Kaaz LSD....little help would be simply marvelous.

 

a b16 has smaller combustion chambers therefore will raise ur compression a little bit. For any B series swap (hydrolic tranny anyways) you will need b seres mounts, a b series shift linkage, b sereis axles and b series intermediate (halfshaft). If your planning to boost later without building the motor, look moreso into using an LS bottom end.

 

you dont have a neighborhood friendly honda tuning shop?!?!


well if you want boost... personally i would go ls cheeper engine starts with lower compresion or really just keep your d and run at like 10lbs.. when it blows pick another one up for 150-200 bucks

 

ls has lower compression than a b20
b20b is 8.8:1

 

My plans are actually to do as follows i really just need to know what i might encounter other than the obvious head conversion (oil lines) that i need to replace as far as the B20 with more than likely a GSR head.
1. Install stock B20 vtec
2. Gather parts to completely build Motor (should take less than 6 months (sleeves pistons rods valves cams crank bolt ons everything)
3. disassemble and send block to shop to be sleeved stroked etc.
4 reassemble motor
5. Baby the hell out of it for 1500 miles or so...
6. Run it a few passes to see what ive created and start my K24 vtec del sol project (for my wife..heheh....gonna pay to have this done i think.)

 

baby it for 1500 miles? Run it hard and break it in

 

should i swap clutch slave cylinders? radiators? etc...

 

gsr actually has smaller combustion chambers than B16 head.

so the gsr head will actually give you a little bit higher compression than the B16 head

 

hmm, i thought it was the other way. i could be wrong

 

just looked it up. gsr is 41.6 cc's, b16 is 42.7cc's.

egsleeper someone should give you a cookie
