Just trying to gather some info.I have a b20 i am gonna build but before i do i wanna gather a little info from others.My idea was to do a b20 vtec and do a mild build with that.I guess my question would be is it worth it to build a b20 non vtec?Im new to b20 scene so i dont know alot about them yet.Im not trying to make a ton of power or anything like that.I tired to research a bit to see if anyone else is building or built a b20 non vtec but didnt come up with anything.So give me some imput if you would please.

 

I would just do a B20vtec if you could get a B18c/B16 head. It would be worth doing if you want a fast enough car to have fun with. Check out B20Vtec.com for more information.

 

Thats what im leaning towards but im just curious to see if its worth building a non vtec b20.And if so what to do.

 

first thing is first please stop calling it Non vtec b20. When you say B20Vtec people will understand you better. Golden Eagle makes a kit that will allow you do this without machining the head.

If you go to B20Vtec.com there have more information on this topic for you. Hope this helps.

 

Anyone know what your compression ratio would be at with a stock B20 block and a stock B16 head??

 

Low Comp B20 + B16 Head: ~9.1:1
High Comp B20 + B16 Head: ~10:1

Give or take depending on head machining, HG thickness, and my failing memory. With a GSR head you'll gain a little more CR.

 

Hey thanks for all the help.This will help me alot with the build.I guess my next step is the vtec head.

 

I'm also just getting into the B20 scene but from the research ive done i would say deff go with the vtec approach. well worth it

 

i have a b20 vtec with a gsr head and i enjoy it very much i am making 180 whp

 

Make sure you upgrade the oil pump, change out all of the old seals and check the main and rod bearings if you are leaving the bottom end stock. I bought a shortblock a couple of years back, didn't check the bearings and ended up with rod knock on the dyno. It is never fun to take the damn thing apart twice.

Make sure to have the head surfaced and the deck checked before assembly. Starting with straight surfaces will ensure a nice seal. Good luck

 

which one is the high comp. B20
