I have a b20b block and b16a2 head! I was wondering what head gasket i need, what head studs and bolts? and can i use my avid mounts even though when i bought then it said b16,b18? Thanks

 

you dont need other mounts, get the golden eagle crvtec conserion, its the easiest to install. and get the arp head studes for the b20 block and b16 head, you can these parts from kingmotorsports.com

 

Golden eagle sells a full kit for the conversion.
You will need a

HG
Vtec oil line
and the nipples to connect to the head.
Use ARP headstuds too while your at it.., i'd look into upgrading rod bolts ls/b20 rods are strong, same with the crank.. the bolts are the only weakness really on the bottem end.
Watch your ign timing too.

 

What kind of timing belt would work with this swap? Just use b20 head studs?

 

If using a vtec water pump use a vtec timing belt, GSR TB.

 

i dont remeber what timing belt you use but the golden eagle kit comes with a special hg, oil line, dowol pin, everything you need to conver the motor to a vtec motor, just need the arp studs, and its best to swap the pistons, b20 pistons cant handle vtec heads

 

ok i have the gates racing b16 timing belt would that work? What about head gasket?

 

if you use a b16 water pump. use the headgasket that comes with the ls/b20 vtec conversion kit as stated above

 

Here use what info you need from this... And i suggest getting a block girdle

Oh ok thanks guys! Im a noob i just dont understand why you said i need both arp b20 and b16 bolts?

 

you have to use a B20 head gasket, and I would personally use ARP head studs, but you got to have an oil line and stuff so instead of piecing it together you should just get a CRVtec conversion kit....

here are the kits vvvvvvvv

ok So just the b20 Arp head studs? or b16 arp head studs? Which one?

 

no their are arphead studes that go for the b20vtec motor, i said b20 "with" b16 head

 

thanks!

 

b18a head studs will not fit right?

 

No! You gotta get the arp lsVtec conversion head studs!

 

GSR head studs , or the b20 with vtec head studs will work.

 

GSR ARP headstuds. For a headgasket if you go with the GE kit then they have one. If not OEM b20 headgasket works as well.

 

OEM Honda B20 gasket those things are so reliable just modify the copper ring with a drill simple 2 min mod...I hear people all the time complaining that they keep blowing GE HG's all the time just like COMETIC nothing beat good OEM quality...

 

Why would you do that?

 

their only blowing hg bc their not bolted down right, bc ge hg's are honda hg just modified a litt
