well the ctr is no more and with less than 3k on it and im out of cash. The new option is a b20 block with the ctr head but i don't know a lot about the pros and con's of this swap. Any help would be good thanks!

this has been done before, it's basically a 'lsvtec' setup but with a 2.0 b20 block

im also hearing that "all" ls/vtec swaps can have a problem with loss of oil pressure

to be honest and very blunt...anybody that is having 'oil pressure' problems with a LS/Vtec setup must have half assed it. I have read and seen multiple ls/vtec setups running fine when built properly and tuned right.

A friend I know told me this a few years back and I smelt the bs coming from his lips miles away. The LSVtec setup can perform awesome and give great results if built just right and not half assed

now if you ever get a ride in a ls/vtec, imagine using a 2.0 b20 block

Im happy to hear that but after only getting 3k miles out of the last motor im scared of what i may get this time! I hope it will be done right the first time .....this time!...

do the ls vtec. just make sure you get rod bolts and a new vtec oil pump

ARP rods bolts
ARP head studs

You know, other stuff too. But those first.

would the oil pump work out of my b16b?
