anybody got a tried and true set up for around 375hp out of a modest built b20b? i am looking at spending around 2k on the actual engine but im not super familiar with boosting b series so i dont know what runs well together.

Research is your friend. Try the FAQ at the top of the page.

 

well i have looked at going brian crower all the way with bc rods pistons cams and i already have bc springs, valves, retainers. i am looking at using the bc stage 3 forced induction cams and bc I-beam rods

 

do you know where the weak point is at on a b20? might want to find that out before you do anything else

 

You don t need to built the block to do 375 hp
We ve done alot of stock b20v turbos in the 400

 

Do yourself a HUGE favor, either sleeve the b20 block, or swap to another B series, the b20 sleeves are garbage.

 

Really ? If so do you class them as been "reliable" still ? I don't...

 

Just pulled my head today off my B20B with suspicions of a crack..




Confirmed!

 

really? ive talk to you guys before and you guys told me. you or whoever i talked to would pnly tune my lsv turbo to 225 max . and thats all the power i could make.

 

It's a way of trying to make out there's something special about the way you tune and some how (magically) you can make a stock block as reliable as a built block.

Tuners do it over here to, I find it very annoying. When the bottom end fails they just blame it on something else and back it up with a load of BS. Well, that's always what I've made of it anyway.... People naturally want to save money, so if they know a guy with a "wand" that tells them they don't need to build their block then the cash is his....

If a mechanical part has been pushed beyond its limit then its going to fail sooner or later. There is nothing what the tune can do to save it....

 

EsotericImage, that sucks, dude. :/ What power level did this happen at? And how long were you pushing it at that level?

 

Miracle tunes. I tuned one on my sohc only headstuds 13.5psi 3.5yrs daily driven. But im intested in specs of the cracked sleeves. Power/boost/turbo/rpms/ anything really. Currently running a 50trim, b20, 4.78fd, 93cx. No lack of low-end fun.

 

i don't even know where to start...

 

I doubt u called us.

 

i actually went to the shop

 

I understand what your saying and I agree
but if a shop is doing it on there own cars and u see then racing the **** outta it

 

really who did you talked to?

 

a hmong guy with long hair
