I want to put a different motor in my '92 RS. Currently have b18a. I have a friend who owns a shop with a B20 block that has been bored and will have 12:1 pistons when finished. I would put a vtec head on and skunk cam/gears/intake. I'm a little afraid of the frankenstein though. Hear that they tend to blow head gaskets. I want the torque it would provide but have to have reliability as this is a daily drive.

I could still do the skunk work and maybe typeR overbore pistons. What to do?

Any experience with frankensteins? How reliable are they? The B20 definitly be different though.

they are just as reliable as the work you put into them.

 

bump!

 

Are there not many vtec/ls blocks out there? Or has this type thread run too many times?

If you have any experience or know of problems or have an opinion...let's have it!

CRV Vtec is an awesome setup for Integras. The torque is awesome with that setup. I saw a 94 RS with a B20 Vtec whoop up on an El Camino w/ nitrous this weekend. It was bad ***.
