Like the title states. How much are your guys b20v cost to build including tune and how much whp it putt out.

I just kinda did a quick list down and at the end my b20v will cost me $5-6K and im still missing engine mounts and fuel pump and filter.

already have:
b20b block-70
ls crank micropolished/balanced, cp 84.5mm 12.5CR pistons,eagle rods as a combo for 550
alaniz Pnp b16 head-400
supertech exhaust flatface valves-50 new
oem itr intake valves- ~120
cp rings-100
arp head studs-100
aem ems-500
PLM v2 header 350
aem fuel rail new-50
total-2290$

still have to get:
clutch- ~400
id1000cc injectors for e85-500
cams- 500-700
machine work/balancing etc-500ish
blackworks vtec kit-100
oil pump/water pump-150ish
headgasket-100
bearings- oem 300 or acl 120
b16 vic x IM 300
and most important tune- 400
total- $3100

Thanks

And here is my build page that i started in May OF 2010.
https://honda-tech.com/forums/all-motor-naturally-aspirated-44/my-allmotor-b20vtec-12-8-13-0cr-e85-build-2770837/

 

So no one is going to share the total amount of $ invested into building a b20v from scratch?

 

depends on wat setup some people do extra some people dnt do certain things mine costed 1300.00 minus transmission

 

Can you post some basic info. Like what parts were used.
Thanks

 

cp and eagle rods for 550? were at

 

and ls crank....from a friend. he had them laying around. If bough individually. That a grand rite there.

 

just get a ls and boost it

 

Mind as well boost my b18c1. Butt boost lag....mmeeehhhh.

Any one else want to share.

 

buy a set of arp rod bolts and get the stock pistons machined with bigger valve reliefs. rebuild the bottom end with stock parts and throw a b16/b17/b18c1/5 head on it

head 400
block 200 + 400(for rebuild)
arp rod bolts 100
machine work 200
gaskets and timing belt 200

so around 1500 i would think would get a stock reliable b20V

 

why.

 

Thats why you buy someone elses unfinished project when ppl run out of $$ now-a-days.
Couple weeks ago sold:
95gsr with b20v built. I know for sure he had s2s2 cams and he claims 11.5:1 pistons. He needed headers, injectors and something elso minor. Do a motor tear down and put everything together so you are sure what you have. Integra pretty clean. Sold for $4600. And thats with the car so thats steal.

Another deal I fricken missed: 98gsr build my midnight. Over 220whp. Posted for $1500. I thought spam but not. Needed bail out $$ fast. I called and it was sold.

 

cool

lil pic of the interior

 

That's because you're looking at people who get turbos that are too big for their application, with the belief that they want to grow for more power later.

The average build can range from $3K to as high as $7K depending upon where they get their balancing and machining work done. This may or may not include hard-parts such as cranks, crank pulleys, balancers, tensioners, etc that you may have.

Many people don't find it the most relevant to post the price tag of what they've paid 1) because it reminds them of what other things the money could be spent on other than an engine, and 2) the cost varies so much due to the availability of things that it never remains the same.

But based upon the average, of about $4000-$6000 or so, you're right on target if you're worried about whether or not you've paid enough to get this together.

 

May i ask if you even read the post? = P I already bave the b20b block, ls micropolished/balanced crank, cp pistons, eagle rods and the b16 head.

X2
No not turbos are to big. I know the thing about properly sized turbo and your whp goals. I have so many friends telling me to go boost that its ridiculous. I am a n/a fan. Its easier to slap together a turbo kit and make 300whp. Butt i like the challenger of building my own engine. Even if its worth 6k. Big woop. Experience of a lifetime running 12s with it or possibly dip 11s.
Thanks

Yeah and its someone else's build. not mines. And i see were your going with this butt no. I already have a solid chassis to build of. And tough luck for missing those so called deals out. You have a perfect car to build of from so why even waste your time/money on another car. Built not bought like they say.

 

reread the first line you wrote
yes i read the post but you asked how much it costs US to build OURS. not how much your should cost. .

so i told you how much a simple b20v should cost you to build from scratch

 

My bad. I miss understood you.
Thanks

Any one else?

 

Looking like a stout build.
Good luck to you. Post up some graphs once you get her tuned.

 

4,500 +- and if you want a transmission to match you are looking at another 1500. A matched setup is going to cost you but be fun in the end.

 

I already have a gsr lsd trans with 1-4th gsr and 5th ls.
Thanks

 

All this and people flake on my motor and setup for sale and I'm making 230whp crazy

 

Why waste time/ money? I paid 3.5k and I could add a couple more k and buy a ready to go teggy with new paint job and R front. I will spend way more if I start from my car.

Just look.... your build ~6k + 2.5k(your car) - ~1.4k(if you sell the gsr motor) = ~7k. Now thats without paint and R front.

 

My time and my money and what fool would sell a perfectly good b18c1 that if putt into a eg hatch will run mid 13s all day long. Any way. Back on topic. Have you built a b20v and how much did it cost you? I do not think so.

 

I'm building a project b20vtec on my spare time right now.. so far it has cost me about $1300..


B20b short block- Free
JE 12.5 CR pistons
OEM honda bearings and thrust washers
OEM LS rods modified with arp rod bolts
OBD2 gsr oil pump, waterpump, and timing belt
CTR crank pulley
GSR head with CTR cams and supertech valvetrain I had laying around from a parts car
GE 84.5mm headgasket
ARP headstuds
ITR trans


Granted a lot of the parts I already had or got for extremely cheap, most of the money went into just building the short block.

 

Not bad of a build. What are you expecting the build to run you at the end with at tune.?
Thanks
