Okay I've just bought a 91 Crx DX with a d15b2. With a terribly rebuilt engine and no heat OR a/c.

I have a b20 Block w/ internals and a b16a gen II bare cylinder head in my garage.

Im looking to make a Daily Driver/Track car out of it. I'm looking for around 200 hp 250 at the most (I'd like to be able to save gas, that's why I got into Hondas in the first place).

I do have a lot of the parts to build a B20 vtec but im also wondering how much a pain in the *** the wiring would be?

 

oooo

 

not that much more than a mini me

 

So what are your opinions between the two?

 

i dont know, i just swapped in a d15b vtec which is like a mini me, and ive driven in a b20vtec crx, ill let you know when mine starts

 

**** a d series. only way your getting 200+ out of that is turbo.

i say sell both motors and buy a b18c or b16b.

 

So, I should get a GSR? or should i go for a Type R? and Ive got all these parts for a b20 vtec. and i could easily get it up to 200 before boost.

 

I would say go gsr. also if you hit 200hp all motor and then why would you turbo it? high compression and turbo are a bad combo.

 

If i kept my D series and went mini me i would turbo.

If i built my b20 id go N/A.

Im wondering which one would be more efficient ive already got all these parts, and i dont feel like selling em to buy another motor.

 

go minime turbo if you want to go fast. for daily i would go b20.

 

Would b20 be able to handle the track as well?

 

road racing or drag?

 

road. what would be a good engine. ive also heard b16b

 

If your road racing then stay N/A. Ditch the D series and go with a B20vtec, they make some good power and would be pretty fast in a light EF chassis.

 

High compression and boost is an excellent combo (as long as its not super high, like 13+) as long as you have a good tuner.

 

yeah but how many miles will it last before poof?

 

well ill probably stay vtec because the chassis is light, and the torque of a b20 will be great.

 

b20 vtec built properly will be quick in a ef. no doubt.

 

It will be sleeved and the head will be sent of tp be ported & polished. along with a complete valve train and cam upgrade with high comp pistons and better rods. Its a complete build.

 

 

so wait, you have these parts laying around to build a b20v but you still have to ask for our opinions? come on now, b20v that thing!

 

If assembled correctly a B20 vtec will last as long as any other honda motor.

 

The only reason i thought abotu asking for opinions is the fact that the wiring might be of some concern. I havent found anything useful on wiring a b20 vtec into a crx.

But I will be building my b20 vtec (like it should be done) and will have it last for a long while. Hopefully.

I will be picking it up this friday hopefully. i will have pics posted as soon as i get it home.
