really needs TRUE b20b info

Alright heres the deal. imma be buying and integra soon and im thinkin about the b20/crvtec swap. Now i hear alot of people saying totally different things about this swap. Alot of people say go CRVTEC but i also want to turbo witch-ever set up i use. But i hear that the vtec isnt as good as the ls for turbo setups. hence the ls has longer gears and low compression. so, now i got people tellin me to put the ls head on the b20 block and turbo that but on the other hand people are tellin me to still go crvtec, and use the ls crank and tranny, but about the people tellin me to go with the ls over b20 and turbo that, if thats such a better "frank" for a turbo- then whats the deal with the ls bottom. Alot of sources say that is practically the same as the b20 just the ls has a 81mm bore and the b20 a 84mm. and plus the ls sleeves hold up better that the b20. So does this mean that the ls motor just needs to be bored out to 84mm and it could produce as power and torque and the b20 does and the sleeves would hold up better. I really need somebodies 2 cents who has been in the same boat. See i need the best setup of a weekly driver. Not everyday about about every 3 or 4. I also wanna keep my AC. Input please

Id say go with LS/VTEC TURBO! but if u want a motor to last u longer i would say LS over b20 my 2cents

why you gotta hate like that, you running 16's, sit and learn

B20 is B18 with 84mm bore over 81, same crank/rods, cams are different though, the B18s are better there, probably cuz they are meant for a semi-sports car and not a SUV. and if you bore the B18B to 84 i think you are gonna have thin sleeves again, but a blockgaurd will help that issue.

Look man, i didnt mean to be rude. Just because im runnin 16's does not mean what im talkin about, all it means is i have no money :), i have answered threads identical to this one more then once on how to do a B20B motor. All im sayin is just do a search, and you will see TONS of threads on this topic.
