Default B20. dont know what route to go

Ive been researching lately and none of them talk about reliability. Should i go all motor on the B20 or go Turbo. Id like to be able to run about 14-17lbs on the street if i went turbo. also i was wondering what is a good redline on a B20. thanks and flames and all input is welcomed

If you plan to run 14-17 lbs of boost your going to need to resleeve for sure. All motor its not a neccessity. If your priority is reliability then perhaps 14-17 lbs. is a little high. Consider something more like 7-8 lbs.

From what I've heard, when mated to a short geared tranny like the B16 or Type R the all motor B20 makes a quick car.

b20 have weak internals. 17 psi will be no easy task by far, will def need work

that would be a great start but i think all you'd need would be 10lbs daily driven, wouldn't that be fast enough, (250 hp?)then throw in a 17lb spring when you go racing (along with some tuning), but whutever you wanna do...You have to spend extra money to make a turbo motor reliable if ur gonna run that kind of boost
