just wondering if anyone has done this and if so how it turned out a b20 bottom end with a b18c5 head ...thinking about doing it but not sure yet

 

Very common, it's really just a regular B20 VTEC. B16 heads and Type-R heads are both from the PR3 casting. The only difference from the heads is Type-R's have dual valvesprings to compensate for the higher lift and duration on the Type-R cams, and of course the cams. Also, '96 and '97 Type-R heads were hand p&p'd, but for the most part the heads are the same. My buddy had a regular B16 head with Type-R cams on a B20Z block, and the thing ripped, torquey for a Honda. Swap out those lame pistons for some P30 style 84mm pistons, and have yourself a beast!

 

Yeah my buddy just did b16 on b20b and it's tourqy as hell bu thanks

 

bump for more personal experiences with this setup, such as actual dynos, valve clearances stock or with milled heads.

 

Start searching!

 

y search that takes way to long

 

Then you don't need to be building any motor. It takes too long.
