Hey everyone, so I got a good deal in a nice project car and I would like some advice and tips .. I just got a 2000 civic ex with a B20B engine that I would like to boost but having never working on Honda's or ever done anything cool too them I'm here to get as much help as I can

 

TLDR;
B20's have paper thin sleeves and aren't really a good choice for F/I
It can be done, but tuning must be perfect/conservative and hp levels kept conservative as well.

 

Motors are hard to find around me in been looking

 

A B20 is a good platform to start for an all motor build. B18's are much better for turbo'ing though, but if you intend to sleeve the block, none of this matters.
If you are dead set on turbo'ing and not building/sleeving the engine, maybe someone will trade you their b18 for you b20?

 

I'm new too all of this so any and all advice is really helpful

 

 

Are you opposing to buy motor online? Is that why you are looking locally?

Welcome to H-T! Alas, this post belongs in "Intro yourself" section, as it is not requesting specific help or offering specific information. It is so moved.

 

Any b18c# would be a good candidate for that. Even a b18b could do that, with a bit more work.
