would a B20V b the same as a LSV...if not built proper it will mess up soon because one of my homies said all u gotta do to a b20 is slap a b16head and ur good but i know if u just slap a b16 head on a ls it will get messed up(over time)there for is there more than just slaping a vtec head on the b20

 

Huh?

What are you even asking? If a B16 head will physically fit on a B20? Yes. Will it work without a conversion kit? No.

A B20 is identical to a "LS" (B18 NON-VTEC) when it comes to making it "LS-VTEC". Any engine that is not built proper will destroy itself. Also, to run a LS-VTEC properly you should have it tuned. What exactly are you wanting to know?

PS - Even a B20-VTEC is typically referred to as a LS/V or B20/V... The reason being the "LS" name is easier than saying DOHC NON-VTEC yadda yadda... and the LS is synonymous with DOHC NON-VTEC engines.

 

Do a search in the All Motor Forum for BamBam's thread on how to build a reliable LS/B20Vtec. Do lots of reading.

no you cant just slap a vtec head on a non vtec block. if it were that easy everyone would be doing it. goldeneaglemfg.com has the vtec conversion kit that is needed to complete a lsvtec/b20vtec. vtec motors have oil squirters built into the blocks to keep them lubed. non vtec blocks dont have this and if you take them up in rpms (8000) or higher then they arent being lubricated enough and thats where all the problems come from. to much stress for the rods.
