B18a/b non Vtec

B18a/b with b16 Vtec head

B18a/b with B18c Vtec head

B18c1

B18c5

so witch one of the B-Series motor would be best for boost and power? you Nogs get to pick my next build.
Aren't you the guy with the 3G Prelude? I don't think any "proper" b-series is going to bolt in place of your B20A.

Also, cross anything Hype-R off your list. Hype-R is a Hype engine, it's comprised 99% of GSR or B16 parts with a post job so mild as to be unworthy of mention, the only thing unique to the Hype-R are the pistons, cams, and valves. The cams are the only thing worth owning, well no they aren't when GSRs can be had for $40-60 and are known good to 600 whp.

I like LS engines, A LOT, but there are three things to be aware of. One, the stock intake valves are 31mm and act as a restriction past 400 and a bottleneck past low 5-600's depending on cam/etc - 3G prelude 33mm intakes drop right in after you modify the seat some. Two, they are not a girdle engine so you need to fit a girdle or run a girdle block (GSR) if you want to break 500 with any long term reliability. Three, the stock cams are a form of failure and should be thrown away for anything past 250 whp streetcar duty.

You really need to state budget and power goal if you want quality input.

B18A1 sleeves are garbage, if you tear off the head to do the overcomplicated and expensive LS/VTEC hassle $5 says large chunks of aluminum are chipped/chipping away from the sleeve liners.

I would have kept the SOHC B20A and done a mild cam, B16-flanged AEBS IM, etc. The iron block will get you further.

The B20a i had was not a SOHC it was a 2nd gen DOHC B20a the only reason i sold it the parts are to hard to come by and most of the perform parts had to be custom made and now i cant even find a trany for it any more but anyways here i pic


and here what the trany looks like
