I know there are some out there that have either gone with a B20 block or sleeved/bored the block to a 2.0. I would just like to hear some setups and comments about it using the all the Type R stuff just changing pistons or something because of the larger bore

 

"I would just like to hear some setups and comments about it using the all the Type R stuff just changing pistons or something because of the larger bore"

i don't understand what you mean!

but anyways i went 2.0l b18c5 just because i wanted my original motor on my car and i like looking at my motor and seeing b18c5!LOL! but doing a b20 actually will probably be better because first of all its cheaper and secondly you can safely go 2.2l by sleeving. a 85mm by 95mm bore/stroke would give you the correct displacement. Mike L from Kingmotorsports actually used a b20 on his 282whp 11sec hatch with a 85mm by 95mm setup. either way you go b18c5 2.0l or b20 you'll probably put down the same numbers! I went 84 1/2mm bore with a 89mm crank(pretty much a ls crank)

 

been there, done that...


the 2.0l NA motor (built) vs the 1.8l turbo motor (all OEM)

 

What I meant by using the Type R stuff is the B18C:5/6/R bottom end internals besides the pistons and using the full top end. Whether you sit a B20 block on there or sleeve and bore a 1.8. I guess I'm just curious about how it would run since tonight was my 1st Honda big block experience and damn it ripped. I'm not going to sell my B18CR for a H22 lol that would be *** backwards but I was thinking more displacement and keeping the higher revving and higher compression would make it potentially run a lot stronger than a H22.

 

Im confused. "Damn it ripped" so you finish your setup?

 

Boost or N/A, your going to spend a lot of $$ regardless. This is an issue I just can't make up my mind on. Been considering the B20/vtec thing for a while but really not sure what to do. The car's been down for a while so I can start from scratch.

 

I'm confused at what you mean. The H22 ripped, it was fast, it would walk my R. I want my car to feel like that, actually being pushed back into the seat. I'm sure the B18CR would be pretty damn quick in a EG hatch but considering my car is what 2500 or 2600lbs I need a bit more power to make it feel like that H22 hatch. The whole point of this thread was to hear about peoples experiences with a 2L B series Type R. more displacement seems like the way to go.

 

Well I know that Hyrev2nr have talked about the crvtec setup, but he doesn't know that my setup is done.
B20 block- cp pistons, eagle rods
ITR head- supertech head package.
RMF narrow header, test pipe, BCIII exhaust
Blox bpi
Stock cam
206 whp on dyno dynamics

 

Dont do it. Save your money and buy a JDM K20A. ^^ Thats what I am doing.

 

No thanks, too much money.

 

pm me details on that build. i'm in the middle of a b20 vtec build myself.

 

Sounds nice.

 

Ditto! To each his own but the K swap will not happen in my R even if $$ wasn't a factor. Maybe in an EG for me. I'll go turbo B before I go with the K. $.02

 

X2.

 

make that x3. I have respect for the K series. No doubt it will push out some very impressive numbers. However its not for me. If I had a car with no motor and the choice to do a B18CR or a K20AR both the same price for it to be complete I would go with the K. IDK what it is I love the B series though. Back on topic I just want more power out of the R and I know its going to cost me. I figure getting more displacement would give me better results though. I wanted to go turbo and still want a turbo car, but the thing is anything turbo can be made fast. Think of how truely amazing it is to be making 110+ HP per liter all motor. Not many car manufactures can say they have done that without the use of a turbo. Ferrari has done it time and time again but look at how fine tuned and what a work of art those are. Then to be a B series that gets down? Power per $ boost is cheaper, but if you dont top the lower end motor whats the point of having your motor? Catch my drift? D series turbo at a reliable power arent all that up there. If you made your B series around the same power what was the poin of having the B series? Same with the K. Now what all motor D series can make over 200WHP? I've seen 1 ZC that Spoon built do it and that was it.

 

^^^This guy has already purchased a ton of parts for his build. It should be a nasty N/A motor when finished.

 

Yes, my build is not for a DD mine is more racing. I'm doing a 2.2l 85mm bore x 95mm stroke with 13 to 1 cr and itbs.

 

blew my built b18c5.. now i have b20 with forged internals with itr head
i like it cuz there's more torque
i dont like it cuz i can't rev to 9000 rpm

 

did everyone go with a catch can setup?

 

dart block?

 

No laskey built Benson sleeves and eagle 95mm crank. I have a thread in the all motor section look at it.
