Hey, I'm getting my head sent off to portflow get stuff done to it soon and i was wondering what is the most i can get it milled (and about how much will it increase compression would u think??) I have a b20b. The head is a B18b and is awaiting a set of Crower stage 2's and portflow valvesprings and retainers. Any suggestions? This will be a NA setup. thanks to who may reply

And to get the B18b head to work i would need to comb chambers to be same as b20 correct? anythign else i need??

 

You're not going B20vtec?

 

not to ruin your ideas or nothing but i'd seriously consider going b20/vtec. my friend had b20/vtec totally stock and it pulled way harder than b20/ w/ ls head and stage 3 crowers, springs, retainers, and ported. you cant argue the fact that vtec's extra 25+ hp stock helps. either way, enjoy that torque!!!!!!!!!!!

 

do you think I'll feel more gains from putting a stock b16 head one it (maybe getting it milled and ported) with my stock b20b bottom end then building up a non vtec head? let me know before i waist money into that b18b head! thanks!

I'd stay nonvtec and put a big a$$ turbo on it.

 

Where is your B20 head? You know the B18B head is the same as the B20 head right?

 

From past experience, yes, i'd definately go vtec, honda made it for a reason and thats probably one of the factors making honda so dominant. my friend brandon bought the ls head w/ cams/springs/retainers from jeromy and the sad thing is that i can still smote him with my stock ls/vtec, i pull him top end by atleast a car. And when people say "stay non vtec and just go turbo" why is it that everyone forgets you can do both? so for now i'd buy a b16 head, have it ported,and polished, slap some gsr cams in it and then slap a turbo on. the head with that work would only come out to like 500 bucks, which is significantly less than you planned on spending and i could guarentee that it would be quicker!!! then you go turbo with the leftover cam/springs/retainer money and you're in the 12's!

 

My CRV b20b (complete motor and head) are in my civic as i speak. I had a Spare B18b head that iw as gonna get stuff done to because less down time. But Now i'm thinking about just getting the b16 head I have a H23 bottem end with H22 Vtec head sitting in my garage.. too bad i didnt go H-Series haha. Maybe i can tradethat stuff for the parts i need for the B16 head swap and maybe some pistons??? Well if any one else wishes to reply please do so! and thanks to everyone that has replied so far
