hey,
it has come to my knowledge that you're very familar and experiened with frank motors, especialy b20vtec. i have a rather stupid and dumb question but i have to know this. other wise im just blowing up all my hard earned money on a non-reliable motor. im going to put a b20b motor with a 1st gen b16 head. all stock block and stock head. stock parts, internals, ...etc. just a stock b20vtec. now, how reliable is this? will my bottom end not be able to hold all the stress in a year or so. would the compression be to low if i stay stock? do i have to rev every time to at least 7500 rpm and up to feel the power and vtec kicking in?what must i do? i also know this - why not built the block/bottom-end and the head since the motor is not in the car yet? - if i had that much of $$$ i would definitly built the block/bottom-end and the head but now ive got JUST enough money (over budget already) for the stock frank. whats the least i can do for my block/bottom-end to have a strong block and will last me almost 4ever? btw, i dont drive hard and dont rev high. ive only reved twice to 6000 rpm and never higher than that in my car - stock d16y7 ofcourse. would port and polish, blue print, balance be enough for the block/bottom-end and the head? and how much $$$ will this cost? and what about the intake manifold or bore the throttle body to? ah! to much money!!! please help me.
thank you. very much appreciated.
maybe i can sqeeze another extra $1000 from somewhere to built the block and head. any info will help since i dont wanna do something stupid. btw, ive got all the stock parts already. project will start next week if staying stock. please help me.
thank you.

 

i have a b20vtec,a couple low bugdet build ups would be
1 arp rod bolts
2 spoon balanced itr pistons
3 ard head studs
4 at least some stock gsr cams
5 fpr around 58-60 psi

i still have a ls tranny and people wounder how my dc pulls on there gsr or ls vtec eg

 

Hrate,

you've got me scratching my head on your no. 2

t..

 

spoon itr pistons are not 84mm the b20 sleeves are 84mm bore. how can u fit those pistons in there ?

 

I am thinking no...

 

I got b20vtec in my eg 4 months ago. Everything stock - dyno : 174whp & 130 ft/lb. Runs perfect! Cost for the setup: $2900. The key is when you put the head on the block, notch the valve relief a little bit or you may bent your valves if you decide to go higher lift cam. Change the valve springs to be on the safe side. Balance the fly wheel. Lsvtec is a little cheaper.
