Thats exactly why I didn't do that swap because I was thinking the same thing, why spend all that money and trust your engine on one oil line? Too risky for me

no no no youre thinking is wrong in this situation. the engine does not depend on that one oil line. its is there as a small buffer but not somehing to rely on. most engines dont have oil squirters and are just fine. its up to you to keep it in a safe rev range. and if you do you will be very happy with the results.

The lsvtec needs the oil line to function,it IS the lifeline for the head.

I'm just really not impressed with an engine that has so many restrictions, yeah know. I mean you need that oil line, you can't rev too much = to much crap I have to worry about. Thats just me though, theres a lot of people that make it work for them, I'll stick with my B16a. I'd rather have an engine that if I want to I can beat up a little if I want and usually not have too much to worry about. Granted any engine you beat to crap is gonna break no matter what, but for what little hoarse power gains you get unless your car is strickly a drag car I would steer away for the whole Frankenstien thing. If someone else out there has done this and had really great results then let me know it just seem like too many problems to be really worth it.

i am one person that will tell you crvtec is definetly worth it. i ran a mid 13 with only bolt ons. i have had no problem with it. i've had it for about 6 months now and i beat the crap out of it every weekend, even driving to work is fun. theres not many cars out there that can beat a crvtec. i also got about 7 friends that have had theirs in their car for over a year some even run nos through it and they have not had any problems with it. but if your asking is it worth it, it is defintly worth it if power is what your looking for. and revs you dont even need to rev that high in this engine to get power out of if. my tires will spin pretty good when im in 2nd and all i do is floor it. i will get tire spin. my redline is at 8 and thats where i shift at. thats pretty good for me. why go higher if you dont even need to. i beat a gsr shifiting at 7,000 rpms he said he shifts at 8 1/2 so why go higher if you dont even need it in some cases with crvtec. just my opinion. i would difenitly pick crvtec.

I dont know where you guys think that the B20 out of the crv has no oil squirters....look at the rods its built into the side of the rods thats where it squirts the oil if you look closely you will see the little oil port on the side of the rod...i just finished building a CRVTEC for a EK and it revs to 8500 with no sweat all it has on it is a filter DC 4-1 and a 255lph fuel pump with B20 injectors and a B16a fuel rail and stock fuel pressure regulator.. If you want alot of low end torque and alot hp up in the top end do a crvtec only thing i have noticed is that the crvtec is missing mid range power but that could be to the fact this customer is using a stock cat and silencer and its dumped right after that. I mated this setup to a B16A trans very nice setup!

What about putting one oil line to each cylinder to act like the squirters? Just a thought. Not sure how it would work or if its even possilbe. The oil lines shouldn't be too large or you would drench the cylinders in too much oil( how much is enough oil anyway?)...any thoughts?

i gotta b2o in hatch and it flies! i got 12:5 JE pistons with stock b20 rods, with a jun lightened flywheel, a JG pro series head toda spec c cams which breathes through a set of individuals. my motor is very reliable no problems yet at least. my rpm can easily reach 10,ooo seriously! go with the b2o and kick some ass!

The oil line isn't for the damn cylinders, it is for the head.

B20eK · #25 12-21-2003, 03:55 PM

how the hell are you supposed to get an oil line to each cylinder! the damn oil line is to engage the vtec, ls/vtec? duh!

Argh!!! Forgive me for I have learned much more about vtec engines since then. Sorry

So your saying that you have to drill holes in the b16 head and put oil lines in and stuff on a b20 block to supply oil (correct me if im wrong) to the bottom end for higher revs do to not having piston squirters??

No, the lines are there to supply the head, non vtec bottom ends don't support the oil passages, so you have reroute them.
