I have finally decided to go LSVTEC in my 00 Si, and tonite, i have just decided to bore/sleeve it to a 2.0 for a mostly "NA" setup ... with the occasional 75 shot of nitrous.

This will be my setup ..

HEAD
b16a2 head
Buddy Club Spec III+ cams
OmniPower valves
Rocket Motorsports dual valve springs
Rocket Motorsports titanium retainers

BLOCK
b18b1 ls block
bored/sleeved to a 2.0 by GE (https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=636369)

Tranny
2000 Si trans

As for rods, crank, and pistons, i'm in the dark. I would like a higher compression, but something i can easily get by with on pump gas, and as i said, i'm going to be using a Zex 75 dry shot of nitrous, and my bottom end needs to be strong enough to handle the nitrous and semi high compression. I know the sleeves itself will be able to handle it, but i'm not sure about the rods and pistons.

So probly just LS crank, eagle rods, and some sort of pistons that will yield semi high compression?

ANY help/suggestions/opinions is appreciated .. i tried searching for 2.0 lsvtec setups, but i came up with nothing. Thanks!

 

here's what i would do

Rocket Motorsport M24 cams
Rocket Motorsport Rods
CP allmotor/nitrous Pistons at 11:5

 

dont get rocket dual springs.....the inner valve spring binds easily.


also since the od of the inner is same as id of outer they tend to lockup and interfere with each other when they reach operating temps......i broke my s2s2's that way after i switched to portflow inners so far so good!

 

Are you planning on sleeving this motor with the nitrous?

Yes, i'm boring/sleeving through GE.

 

Just picked up my LS b18b block! Once i get some money it's being sent off to be bored and sleeved to a 2.0 !

 

I would get some 11-11.5 pistons/Eagle rods and balance it all with the 89mm crank.
With a forged block,I dont think youll be breaking anything except maybe axles.
I wouldnt go too high on compression if you plan to spray that much on pump gas.
But if you get Hondata or something that has nitrous control,you can adjust your timing for pretty much any compression.

Definitely get some bigger injectors maybe even some 440's. And I think a good P+P job on the head will be greatly beneficial too especially with the nitrous.
Sounds like you have a pretty good plan.This is similar to what I want to do also with my car.
2L B18C fully built w/ nitrous
I have some rods for sale if your interested.See my sig

 

I ran a similar set up with a 50 shot wet system

but now going ALL MOTA



as for me or from my experience
never go Junk 2 anything

RM or Omniman stuff is some of the best stuff dollar for dollar and great customer service back there **** up 110%

well cams u cool
or get the M22 so u don't dent that wallet and do more stuff to the bottom end
Rods get something like Probe or SKat (eagle is trash unless u get them with the 3/8" Arp bolts)
rods yes stay under 11:8:1 compression to spray and run pump gas

don't forget injectors if u are spraying!!!!

 

Eagle is trash and Skunk2 is junk?

Can I know why?

 

Hmmm ... well like i said i picked up my LS block today. Then while i was workin on the drive thru at McDonalds (shut up lol) my friend rolls through and said he'd sell my his C5 bare block with eagle rods for $750. He previously tried to sell just the block for $500 but i said no.

But, after thinking about it, i might get that. Here is the break down on cost for the b18 block, just a few of the things to put it in perspective.

Block: $100
GE LSVTEC Conversion Kit: $235
Eagle Rods: $319
---------------------------------------
Comes to a total of $654, not including costs of what may need to be done at a machine shop.

In lieu of this, i might talk him down and get his setup ... it will be more reliable and less of a headache, andthe C5 bling in 2.0 form.

But either way, i'll be all motor 2.0 b series tearin up the streets. The bitch of it however, will be finding an ITR crank .. since i cannot use an LS crank, due to higher R/S ratio, correct?

Opinions, ideas, feedback, etc?
