what about a stroked b20 with ctr head ? 2.4liter with ported head would be pretty nasty

i know b20 with ported non ctr head and ITB's makes 246 whp, seen it in a DA drove it too....madd ***** and really snappy response

I have a b16 head with a bad valve (which im fixing). I was thinking of using it a frankenstein swap. My question is whats a better bottom end to use... B18B or B20? Pros and Cons of each?

Sorry if Im jacking the thread

And since they are bored a little bit more there is a little less sleeve strenght.

I dislike B20's alot, because people are CRAZY about them when a B18 is way more stable, easier to find, and cheaper.

ported (pause) NON ctr head, meaning the kid had a non ctr head ported by a private company, the ctr heads are ported by honda, thus in the end meaning, i dont know if ctr head would have created more power, but this is what he got when a private company did it. hope that clears it up
