Finally, b20/vtec
Well, finally, after running around straight B20, I put a B16 head on. So now I am offically fast.
 Here is a pic with the head off, and one with it complete. It looks like any other B16 swap, but sure doesnt feel like it.    Let me say, this thing rocks. I am definatly feeling the LS tranny now, and could use a lightweight flywheel. Also, remember, whenever you do a swap, make sure you tighten the ground on the thermostat. I spent two hours trying to figure out why my car wouldnt start. It was all due to a 10mm bolt.  I still need to do a little tuning, and then I am going to hit the dyno up.

Re: Finally, b20/vtec

 did you just slap the head on without any other work done to the engine?

The only real machine work needed was to plug a oil line in the b16 head, and drill out the dowel pin holes to 14mm from a 12mm hole.

thats pretty nice, but just think of how good it will run with the high compression pistons that VTEC cams were intended for

Is that motor reliable? Will it last a few years?

I wanna see some Dyno sheets on there! I am interested in what kinda power you're laying down. Can you get any traction?!?! Nice work on that swap!

lol, yeah, I hope so. Any motor is as reliable as you build it, or treat it. I kow of a few LS/vtec's pushing 25k miles on it, and still pulling as strong as the day it was installed. Not sure on what numbers I will pull yet. Just have to wait and see. We set up a race last night against a built B18C powered EG, that shifts at 9500, that was stripped of everything but the dash and two seats. I know the kid pretty good, and he is a damn good driver. Let me say, I am very satisfied with my motor, compared to that car. We made a few runs, and each time, the outcome depended on who had the better launch. We always pulled damn near even. Yes, traction is an issue.
