ok so i have been doin some price checking on the c1 and b2 bottom end et a new fully built b18b2 bottom end 1200.tec1 about 1600 would i be able to make the same amount of power if not more or less to many mods to list, check garage. what would i have to do to the converted obd1 harness for the b2motor to run properly?what would i lose from not having a c1 block?

 

B20/vtec convert
you can get an entire B20 from here: http://passwordjdm.com/B20B-Long-Blo...y-P1582C0.aspx for 500 bucks, spend 200 at the machine shop getting it tapped and then sell all the extra **** on a CRV forum.
youll prolly not pay a single dollar out of pocket after its all done

 

What?

Isnt a B18B2 a austrailian domestic version of the US's B18B1?

 

^either way they are wondering if a GSR bottom end is at all worth it.

 

b20 would be a good idea but what would i be losing in compared to b18 c or b

 

Well you would be gaining about 200cc for one thing.

 

there really isnt much difference besides this. its a typical honda b series block, just physically a little bigger, and its a 2.0L. and could possibly be stroked larger than what a B18 could because of its size

 

arent b20 known for having weak cyclinder walls

 

the difference is i am looking for fully forged bottom end and for 12 or 1600 i can get that theb b20 is great idea and all but thats kinda common where im from and most of those cars are kinda slow even with 18psi boost so on to the b18b are there the same amount of oil squirters in the c1 or less? there are a few things different im just worried about power and reliablity.........
