Im building a high revving B20 for my track bitch. My buddy has a complete B16A block(popped pistons). I know machining would be involved(the middle main has to be machined down, along with dowel holes), but could that girdle be retro'd to the B20? I know you can do this with GSR girdles(my girlfriend had it done on hers), I just didnt know if there were any differences between the GSR and B16A girdles...
TIA!

 

I may be mistaken but I dont think b16 motors have block girdles.

 

Hrmm....you could be right, but I thought all factory B Vtec motors had them...
*makes note to drive out and lift the B16As skirt*

 

the b18c motors have them. GSR/ITR, and i believe are the only b-series motors to have built in block girdles.

 

B16's don't have a Block Girdle. It look like one but it is mearly a windage tray.

 

hrmm....ok, perhaps this is why nothing came up in search, and why Ive never heard of a B16 girdle used Welp, fuggit 8500rpm here I come!
