Ok my friend is currently stationed in iraq and is about to return from his contract of duty. Hes looking to build his car up and wants to know what some good suggestions are.

Currently hes got a b20z block with low milage and a b16a (auto ) head on it., with skunk2 manifold.

Anyhow hes wanting to make some great horsepower like 200+whp

Is this possible, with a stock bottom end? His budget isnt unlimited and hes got about 2500-2000 to spend. What would some good steps be in building. I know headers are a secret ingredient, as well as crazy headwork. Please be patient with me im an old turbo guy so im not up to date on the **** like alot of people in the allmotor forums.


Thanks in advance for any assistance.

 

does it really matter that the head game from an auto or 5spd???

 

i believe the compression ratio was different between the two. Well thats what little robert rosenburg told me. dont know how true the information is.

Yes cam profliles are differant.

Oil or the coolant (cant recall) passages are also smaller as well.

 

curious...how much does a b20 vtec build up cost?? ballpark
