I am putting money together and I'm trying to decide which way to go. It's either going to be B20 turbo or B20vtec all motor. Any suggestions. It's going in a 96 Civic Coupe. Also, which tranny would be best for the different set ups.

 

if you are set on the b20, get it sleaved, get a gsr tranny and boost it. Otherwise just get a b18b and boost it.

BOOST

 

b20 turbo, with a b16 transmission and LSD.

will be fast as HELL

 

hondata to that
super air fuel ratio and you'll have a torque monstor with OEM reliablity as long as you don't boost all the damn time....

 

y not do both .... do a b20 vtec and build it for turbo.... and everyone's happy

 

I wish that I had done a b20 turbo instead of my b20vtec. For the money I have invested in the whole built b20vtec, I could have a FFGeoff's turbo kit on a stock b20 and had extra money to boot. Next time......next time.

 

if your building a b20 with boost wouldnt the vtec upgrade be not as an effective upgrade? i think saving the money and puting it into building the motor for more boost would be more effective. plus i think building it with vtec lowers the reliability with a good amount of boost

 

B20 Boosted ...Vtec that motor later...
