ok ive had my car for 2 years 1990 crx si when i bought it it came already swapped with a b16a. drove the car for 2 months and got tired of it burning a qt a day so i bit the bullet and built me a fresh b16b not knowing that i had no clue about b20vtec or even lsvtec till after i finished. my 1.6 is fast and impresses the hell outa me and most ppl but it lacks mid and low.

My build isnt gonna be extreme im just wanting somthing fast and reliable its gonna be slow progress. i was always told cheap, fast and reliable u can only have 2

forgive me for the big pics and shitty ones

the stuff i have now

b20b block
b20 rods with arp
b16b cams
supertech valvsprings
oem type r retaners
blox intake manifold
tri y header
ectune paired with the moates demon

stuff i need to aquire

rs machine pistons 11.5.1
acl engine berings
all seals and nessesary gaskets
and the lsvtec conversion kit
arp head studs

here's what it looked like when i first got

then after the fresh b16b swap

then john deere blitz black paint job


and the b20 rods on arp

then the block b20b checked deck and everythings well within spec

 

Don't forget the VTEC oil pump

 

thank you lol

 

Nice..I wanna do a b20v for my next setup too..wat was the dyno # for the b16b..track time? Gl wit ur build..

 

Well when I dynod the b16b it had pro 1 cams and couldnr find the sweet spot and only made 140whp and 117wtq so I traded my cams for oem ctr and I make 177 at the wheel and but the ignition wasn't touched so I'm sure there is more power to be had.

 

Aren't they all the same?

 

gsr/itr oil pumps are different then b20/ls.

Do not miss this item...it makes a world of difference.

 

WRONG

96+ all had the same oil pump. I know this cause i just sourced this info for a build im doing for a friend.

OP sounds like itll be a great little setup.

 

Then why would ITR/GSR oil pumps need to be modded to fit b16 blocks?

 

think the b16 is the only different one

Bought a "type-r" oil pump and it had pr4 on it

 

you might be confusing the timing covers. if you put a obd2 pump on an obd0 or 1 b16 the covers have to modded to fit due to the crank sensor.

96+ all b series oil pumps are the same.

 

Later on today ill have an update for everyone. Mr postman is supposed to drop off a couple crucial componets

 

Like....................

 

Oh my bad.. pistons and berrings then later on next week ill have my block back from machine shop then I gotta go to honda and order some things

 

Which pistons did u go with?

 

Did this build years ago, I used a GSR oil pump, worked out just fine in an 88HF, I was worried about understeer but Skunkworks coilovers took care of it. Miss that beast, looks a lot like yours. Good luck!

 

Skunkworks!?

Haven't heard that name in forever...

 

oh here is the updat isnt much but wensday ill be putting the bottom end together acl race berrings and rsmachine 85mm sluggs

 

Lol hi comp pistons and special k.

 

Yup the breakfast of champions lol

 

Which rs piston is that? P72?

 

Its p73 itr piston for the b20 ima measure the piston and post it on the web since nobody has any info on piston diameter to get the correct piston to wall

 

minimum wage progress is slow thank god i dont have kids lol expecting to have the bottom half completed my mid march and in the car ready for a street tune by april

 

84mm

 

i will post updates tomarrow or later on tonite gotta resize these gian azz pics
