Default B20b Vtec with Stock Internals. Need Help !

hey mate, I recently installed B16a head on B20b bottom, last night i just brought the car home without my headers, sound was annoying and drive was not that good.
Kindly Tell me After My running process ends, how much Performance should i expect from it ? better then B16a i suppose ? and some people says if you rev it high on B20b bottom the crank wont last long, is it true ?

Well, if the car is running correctly ( no cel, no misfires, and what not) you should have some decent performance, If you get a chipped ecu or somthing like an apexi vafc u can tune it to run better, especially if u have a stock ecu now

ummmm im not sure... i have a B20b vtec as will with the B16a head. along with the B16 trans. ive had mine running real strong ever since it was built 2 1/2 years ago. stock internals as well. as far as reving high, do you have a block gurdle on? thats suppose to give support so your able to safley rev high. im redlining at 8400rpms. i also have a skunk2 intake manifold and gsr cams. dont know if i helped you but if you have any more questions just ask. or i could give you my whole setup but thats basically it.

driving with no headers or exhaust manifold can damage the valves
