i keep on reading about people with cracked sleeves. however these people have CRVTEC turbo set ups.anyone ehave a true B20 turbo set up ?? if so post it up and let me know. I talked to Jinxproof anad Stoopid and both recommend a B20 turbo set up over the LS, whhats your take on it ? Tony1 ?

 

ttt

 

im curious to know also

 

I ran a b20vtec turbo setup last year. It was untuned and had a clusterfuck fuel setup, but for some reason it pulled like a ****. I made 226/190 6.5 psi. It ran 8.8 @ 81 in the 1/8 in 95+ degrees. I would say the weak link in the b20 blocks are the sleeves, but if its a stock motor keep the boost low and tune it and you can make good power on 7-8 psi .

I now have a turbo Ls and i miss the quicker spool of the bigger b20

 

i talked tto st00pid, boostedhybrid, jinxproof99 and tthey all recommended me the b20 over the LS

 

boosted hybrid said the sleeves on tthe B20 isnt too much weaker than the LS. from wat i'v e seen a lot of tee craacked sleeves were due to poor tuning and CRVTEc turbo sett ups .

i dont think it has to really do with the sleeves being any thicker, theyre just thinner due to the bigger bore size. i say its better to resleeve the ls block and bore out if you want a 2.0 lsvtec setup. ive heard of b20 sleeves cracking on all motor applications so for a boosted setup i wouldn't really feel to safe

 

dollar for dollar, if you are going to run on stock internals, do the ls. i have a b20b in my 95 teg boostin 9psi...dont get me wrong, its quick(12.40@112), but the ls is cheaper and seemed to pull just as hard...im just waiting to crack a sleeve with the b20 actually. my ls ran hard on 10psi and didnt blow till 13-14psi(oops, damn profec). my b20 obviosly has a lot of torque and gets the turbo spoolin fast, but the ls pulled harder top end 6k-7k...good luck either way, i had great luck on both motors with a lil ol fmu setup.

if you do decide to do the b20, ive gotta say its nice to pop the hood and see this view...

 

I have had my current setup for just a little over a year now without any problems (knock on wood). My last dyno run was on 7 psi, it put down 250 hp and 223 ft lbs of torque. Right now I have the boost set at 9 psi but I've been too lazy to dyno it plus the fact that I dont really care anymore. Current setup is a custom turbo kit, Hondata 2b and 550cc injectors. The car was street tuned with an A/F ratio right around 12:1.

 

lots of b20's crack. yeah they arent a whole load worse but its just enough imo

 

nice numbers .. i pulled 272 and 223 torque on mY LS but boostcreep and i guess detonation .. " byebye motor"

 

up up up ~!!! i iwnana puush o ut as much power as i did witth my LS on racegas

 

cmon !! B20 !! baby bEeE TWentey !

 

See sig for #'s

Unfortunately had a problem with overboosting and I blew it. Haven't removed pistons yet. Cylinder walls fine from what I can see though.

 

i want my car back !!!!! more B20 success !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

cmon .. why all the b20 boys hiding ? you can come out no ones gonna pick on you about the sleeves ..

 

Man.......all this B20 Turbo talk is making me think hard now . I have a JDM B20B in my 92 hatch and it pulls hard as is w/ all the bolt ons....was thinking of just putting a b16 head on it and call it a day for that car.....it is my daily too...i'm not a hardcore racer or nothing and hardly go to the track but having a 20 turbo sounds fun

 

i made my homie with a B20 a believer today he was liek " holy **** i wanna turbocharge my car now"

 

im rockin the b20 vtec and plan on boostin w/ a sc61 (comes in two days, im so happy). however i do plan on building the block.....does that take me out of the discussion?

 

Ahh B20T-Vtec now fully built can't wait till done . the bfore set up made see below
Before the sleeve went crack

 

Did the block crack cause u booasted over like 10 and it wasn't tuned??..let me know why it happened? Thanks

 

B20 (possibly vtec) Turbo is definatly the future of my sol. A CRX or EF Hatch will be the hand me down of the sohc turbo motor.

 

over 10psi about 15-20psi piston and rod only, hondata, with 550cc down the track
4 times and that was the end of it ...

 

 

What happened to the B20 turbo?....
