turbo b20?

Is it good idea to turbo b20? or do i gotta do alot of modifications?

If you want it to last, then you'll need to do sleeves, pistons, and connecting rods.

ok now one more thing not too sure if you can answer this but here it goes

potential wise b20vtec or b20turbo ?
price wise b20vtec or b20turbo ?

i have a feeling its both b20vtec lol.

not necessarily true....it depends entirely on the power goal and the setup

at least 300whp i might be dreaming but wanna see if its possible

True, but most people want enough power to need a good rebuild. Or they end up turboing it with a little boost and in the end turn it up anyways.

Yes spawnliban, the B20/vtec is the answer to both those question. Potentially, you could build the b20/vtec and then turbo it. And Building up the b20/vtec will be less expensive as buying a turbo kit (though you can piece together one for a lot cheaper than buying a prefabbed kit). Really depends on how far you're willing to go with it.

well before i started this project price wasnt a thing till i realized how much i paid for everything lol. anyway i'll prolly go with turbo first then vtec and see how that works out. i'll prolly do the suspension before i get to the turbo

On my stock engine 99 GSR, i did my setup like this....

1. Standard setup....no frills. Made a respectable 275whp on a Dyno Dynamics dyno

2. Replaced turbo, topmount manifold rather than the log, a 3" downpipe and exhaust, Crome Pro/Hondata S2b, RC880s rather than 550s

3. Engine rebuild....Eagle/CP----no sleeves



what i'm getting at, is that if you dont have the money to do it all at once, then just go in stages, but make sure they're logical stages. Personally i would ditch the B20 and find an LS engine because the stock sleeves are stronger

Err i cant ditch the dam b20 not just yet. thats the hardest part i try to do alot of research but the thing i might never get is what to do. So far this is what ive done b20b s1 exedy clutch/finanza flywheel/2.25 custom cat back wit 2.5' muffler now the vtec has to all go in at one time. even if i do vtec tommorow wit the SI head, its only gonna be like 160 whp which sucks! dont know which pistons to go with if i should touch the cam gears change manifold all that good stuff. clueeeless :D

toss a GSR head on it and you're done w/ the VTEC part of it. The stock manifold will work just fine, but if you want to upgrade eventually, then do it. You could make 250whp easily on the stock engine AS LONG AS you have a solid setup and you have the car professionally tuned.

I will definately get the car tuned by this place i know gonna cost me I think havent checked prices and all, but, with setup do you mean changing the internals like pistons and all?

no, you'd be fine on a stock internal setup at that power level...

so basically your telling me ima get 250whp IF i add gsr head on my car. obviously after i get the following :

1. New rod and main bearings.
2. New head gasket, Oil pan gasket, rear main seal, Oil return gasket, oil filter
3. Thrust washers
4. fittings for running the external oil line.
5. New VTEC Water pump.
6. New VTEC oil pump.
7. New VTEC Timing belt.
8. ARP Bolts

- Intake, Headers, and exhaust

* thanks to Tom...a.k.a. (simple4012) and mark (NAspirated). for that :D

to make that power level you need to put a turbo setup on your STOCK B20 (unless there's something wrong with it) and get it tuned professionally....you do not need to rip it apart and rebuild it IF it is in good condition

well vtec and turbo 250whp makes sense, now would you ever sell ur turbo? :D

i have 3 of them...2 are spoken for and the other is on my car.....money talks

Garrett T3/T04E 60trim .63 ar w/ 5k miles
Garrett T3/60-1 .63ar (brand new)
KKK K26 .48ar

well how much? and is it complete kit? where are you? I do not know much about turbos but i'll do a lil research then get back to you because definately i think (not sure yet) id rather put turbo first then vtec it :D

well the setup i have right now is pretty much amazing if i do say so myself. Everything is new (50 miles because of my damn alternator). I actually sat down and figured it out, i have slightly more than $3600 in the setup itself. If you're serious about this, know that its new and make an offer....this setup WILL make you over 600whp with no trouble at all, but you're going to need larger injectors and a bigger intercooler for that power level....my 550s and the JRC 8" will max at about 400whp...i dont plan on going any higher than that anyway

Where do you live?

Fargo ND....it would be easiest to do some kind of pick up, but if that's not feasable, i will ship....the only problem is that there is a lot of stuff....
