Some Pics of HMT this weekend, (56k unfriendly) Crvtec Done!
Well, I must say this was a very long and shitty weekend. Starting off Wed Night I finally pulled the Old LS out and started transfering parts over to the B20b block.
Sad Sad Sad... The b18b will now be used for turbo mock ups only, and maybe someday I will get it sleeved?
Also, I wanted to give you guys an idea of how ugly and shitty this downpipe was on my old LS/Vtec.. This originaly was on beaus b16a, then we hacked it up to fit on my car, chopped up the Kamakazi downpipe and adapted it to fit. I made beau use the gay little welder on it at the barn, and it really came out like ----.
After a few months it developed cracks, and was just turning into crap, you can see the few spots that I tried welded it up, (in the car) yes..... complete ----, haha. This dp was 2.5 to 2.0.
Onto the good stuff
I really wanted to paint this block a dark maron, dark red. Kinda like how the JG blocks look. So I ordered some MG marron from Por15, I got it, and tested it out and the ---- looked PINK! So I said ---- it, I decided to go with flat black. I think it will hide the oil well
Pretty much using the same turbo setup as before, with a few added things. Stealthmode kindly traded me a .63 a/r Exhaust housing for my T3/T4 Turbo. The compressor is a .50 I dont think there is much life left on this turbo, it has more shaft play than Dustin has on a Wed Night :P
I am using the Tial 35mm WG, and made a new dump tube, along with a new downpipe. I cut them all up, and tacked them.... Then had Beau weld them all up real nice for me.
Ah yes... Nice smooth bends, which turned out pretty decent, little adjustments had to be made once they were in the car, lol. ok.. Big adjustments
I thought the turbo setup came out real nice.
Here is the turbo fitting that we got from Craig @ TunerToys, if you guys are interested in getting one of these nice steel 3 way fittings check out this thread.

This install was pretty straight forward, but I came running into things, and after a few long nights at work, I just really got sick and tired of this thing..
Beau sending his love to the HMT members...
At last! Finally done...................
There was no way the stock radiator was going back in there, I was sick and tired of that big ------- bulky thing, So a friend of mine gave me his extra 5g Civic radiator, and I fabbed a few mounts up and it fits PERFECT! I was thinking this was going to be the hardest part of the install, when it took about 30 mins. I think for once I finally had a ADVANTAGE of having the car wrecked, everything was already cut out for the intercooler install, so it was a breeze.
Inital start up was scary, The engine was running on 2 1/2 cylinders, lol, I was freaking out thinking I had bad rings or something, But my old mentor Ted Pearson had to show me how to go back to the basics (because I was freaking out like a little school girl) I did a compresson test showing 20psi in cylinder #4 so then we did a leak down test showing the compresson was leaking out of the valves. Then it all dawned on me! I didnt even adjust the valves after I got it back from the machine shop,
newbie mistake but was easily correct.
So whats the mod list of this ****** now?
B20b (CRV) Stock Pistons/ Stock Rods (pinned block)
B18c P72 GSR Head 5way Valve Grind (c/r is 9.5)
Stock B20 Headgasket
Custom Turbo Manifold
T3/T4 .63ex/.50comp
Tial 50mm BOV
Tial 35mm WG 6psi
2.5 DP / 1.5 WG DP
3in Exhaust
JG Edlebrock Intake manifold
64mm GSR T-body (proflowdesign)
AN-R Intake manifold Gasket
DSM 450cc Injectors w/ Zdyne GOLD SECU
Tyrus 6in FMIC w/ 2.5 IC piping
5g Civic Radiator
So what are my impressions of this?
We'll do a RPM breakdown, lol
1000 - Ahh, nice smooth idle unlike the ls/vtec that had always had bent valves, and was always missing
2000 - Sweet sound of the T3/T4 starting to work its way up
3000 - Start to feel the torque of the B20 kick in
4000 - Peak boost hits at 6psi and the tires are starting to break loose.
5000 - I dont remember my ls/vtec sounding like this?
5500 - Vtec kicks in, and Power finally starts to kick in.
6000 - OMG, what is this? I can hear the wet lesbian ----- farts coming out of my Tial 35mm WG, Oh it sounds like complete ----..
7000 - Feels good, pulling all the way up, the .63 exhaust housing really going to work now.
8500 - Rev limiter......... oh ----, I need some new brakes
Overall, I'm pretty impressed with this so far, It hasnt been dyno tuned, and the WG is only set at 6psi, but the car rips pretty good.
Just want to say thanks to Ted & Beau for helping me out on this one
Enjoy
I'm really digging them! Rota Group N's w/ some Korean Kumho rubber

Re:Some Pics of HMT this weekend, (56k unfriendly) B20b done!
Later this week I will go to the dyno, and I think it should hit 300whp around 12psi.
I'm a bit nervous taking it to the track again, I just got the thing running, and wed is another import drag event, I think I may just say ---- it, until I get the little LSD unit from AZrace & a new clutch, because the stock GSR clutch disc, and ACT EXTREME PP, look like EXTREME ***.
It's really nice not to drive the ------- van anymore, lol
Oh, and the swap was done at my work, 15 bays
