I have a JDM B20 and I'm going B20 VTEC. I was wondering how the drivability and reliability is on this. My setup is a B20 With a 2nd gen B16 head. The bottom end and head are bone stock. The head is modified for VTEC with the dowel pins moved and oil drain being plugged. I'm using the Golden Eagle LS/VTEC kit kit and the endyn breather kit. I also have a chipped P28 with a 8000 redline. I have built many motors before so I have a good amount of experience. Also what head studs would you use with the B16 head on the B20? The car is a 94 Civic DX and is my daily driver in the summer, and occasionally in the winter. Help is greatly appreciated.

great motor to drive. fun as hell. reliable just like all hondas are. i would use arp headstuds for a gsr.

 

question to you panda? do you know for sure that the golden eagle LS/VTEC feed kit comes with the orginal vtec oil feed plug off?

 

It doesn't. All the kit has is the main fittings, the block to the head. The kit also has a plug for the2nd hole in the converion plate in case you don't want to run an oil pressure gauge.

 

ok thanx. that helps alot.... there is a kit for $70 shipped that I know of that comes with that little plug to block off the orginal vtec oil feed.

 

The one's I've driven have been great. Lots of low end response.
