is the engine which come with the crv honda ( b20 ) good to be turboed and will the b16a better or the b20 to be turboed ?

marc_vtec

no its not a good engine to turbo... the sleeves are way too thin to handle boost (imo)


turbo the b16


or do a crvtec

Please get your facts strait.. B20 sleeves are actually THICKER (by 1mm) then any other b series sleeve. they are just a one peice design so they cannot flex and crack.

I dont know how accurate this is but i've read in magazines that people have gotten over 300 hp with that b20 with stock internals. thats at 10 psi but dont know what size turbo

300hp wouldnt last that long. the b20 can be turboed but unless you get it resleaved it would be wiser to use the b16. the only really good thing the b20 has is torque. I almost bought a 93 hatch with a b20 and a garrett t3/t4 and it broke the tires loose like crazy even befor boost. <wanted way to much 10k i laughed. how about this buy a b16 and when you blow the motor, go and buy a b20 longblock and attach it to the b16 tranny double the use. hope this helps
