Thinking of ditching the turbo d and going b20b turbo.

My friends are all trying to tell me it would be stupid to boost it stock?? Something about those engines makes them shitty as ---- to boost stock?? Is this true?? The plan is to go b20vtec but leaving it stock for now with maybe 10psi. Why would these engines be ---- to boost unless built?? Or are they talking out there ***??

My friend is offering a complete one other then tranny for 400$ firgured it was a good deal.

 

b20 fine for boost.as with all turbo projects ..its how good the tune is that matters

 

spend swap money and get a built D and ---- up the b20

 

weak sleeves for some reason and they only hold like 10psi on a well sized snail because of the sleeves

 

The B20 is horrible, your friend should sell it to me instead...

 

Nopers


jeffery was well over 300 whp on his


Back in like 00-01 dhracing ran low 10's on a stock b20 bottom end and was near 400 whp. Ran the motor had for almost a full season.



Oh and it was stock block I know this cause I was there while the motor was slapped toegther

 

Depends on the year of the block. Later years had the crappy sleaves if I remember right. Someone correct me if I'm wrong though.

 

you cant believe all the hype from people with no first hand experiance go for it thats a awsoem deal for that motor jump on it while you can

 

the motor was a b20z that took an *** raping at the track and loved every minute of it

 

B20z's were the first generation of crv blocks...that's why. They still had the same sleeve process as b18's and b16's. Unfortunately they're getting hard as hell to find these days. Later b20's have the weak sleeves...check JD's thread above in this section, he gives the breakdown on the newer b20 sleeve designs and their downfalls.
