My old boss made low 400's on a bone stock b20b bottom end like 8 years ago. No worries on that set up. Hell My buddy had a b20b turbo set up with and fmu 15 pounds and the motor never broke. Car was a low 12 sec all day long and never had any problems The limit of those sleeves is way beyond what a typical street car will make. hell even jeff franks made 300 and ran like a champ without any real tuning but butt dyno action |
Re: b series swap list

B20b motor- coming shortly b series into ef mounts- coming shortly b series trans- junkyard scavenger b series axles- junkyard scavenger 90-91 integra knuckles or 91 civic sedan ex knuckles- junkyard scavenger pr4 obd1/obd0 ecu(Im going to convert to obd1)- i already have these items can i use my current engine harness which was mpfi converted and currently driving with d series, then get obd1 conversion harness. as far as i can think this is all i would need from the junkyard to get me started. the only thing thats gets me is the steering knuckles and hubs. thats one of the reasons why i made this thread. i should be heading to the junkyard saturday and picking everything up. gotta love the import section. big thumbs up to chris for the HMT hookup on the b20b short block. D SERIES OR BUST! |

Re: b series swap list
sounds like a 50-75 shot may not be a bad thing to do then if i just wanna have fun with people on the streets. i know i get plenty of looks in my hatch when driving to school from other honda drivers and wrx/evo's as well. gotta love rolling with porches though.

None of my stuff isnt good all is tested twice. I have never had a motor/trans returned and that is due to overally ---- testing. Also in all my days of swapping in jdm motors I have had =0 that were damaged on start up/or worn beyond what is expected in a used motor Thats 10+ years of shop work/friends cars/personal cars. If the place you worked at compression/leaked down correctly there would of been 0 damaged motors that came over on the boat |

Fine if it doesnt run send it back and you get your money back good enough. But the idea of that happening makes me laugh your paronoid man. Lastly I only will have 1 stock one left has I just bought 5 sets of all motor pistons and will be selling built street b20 all motor bottom ends |

Re: b series swap list
just a minor update for everyone.
picked back up my old b18a/b head from about a year and a half ago i sold to a buddy that i got from cbirchmore. now i need to see how much some cams would cost me. delta grinds would be sweet!! anybody have any tips/opinions for all motor/turbo cams? |
Re: b series swap list
stocl ls valve springs are a joke. If you go regrinds you hav to get springs who enjoy dropping valves
|

If not I can just buy some springs and retainers from fj distributors. Would you recomend delta regeinds? What size? |

if it was dohc vtec stuff all my new springs/retainers which make all the other brands look like pooooooooo just like my throttle bodies but for the ls world crower is the only one who cares. They developed there product like like 8 years ago when ls were still being used. 1 in 500 builds is proably an ls now so no other development from any companies will happen again. |
Re: b series swap list
I heard that CraneCams had some great cams for the Ls. I know that Chris swears up and down about Crower, but ive heard that the CraneCams Idle alot better. And have more power in vac. for the driveabilty factor. But I read that on evans tuning website.

Actually crower is the only ls stuff I used that I like never tried crane. I really dont mess with non vtec stuff anymore. Just sohc vtec and dohc vtec.My springs/retainers are superior to crowers vtec stuff. |
Re: b series swap list
I forgot to add that it was on a full on diet of boost. It looks like a great build.
http://forums.evans-tuning.com/viewt...hp?f=27&t=3084 Sorry I got off track, I just was looking at those cams the oter day and they looked like they would work real well. |

Yes they go in all my cylinder heads. The most seat pressure ever for a dohc vtec spring. I sell Chromoly Retainers that dont fail and flake like the cheap Russian grade titanium used in all aftermarket retainers. Basically no more of your retainer ends up in your oil pan which is a good thing. I have alot of products I have been helping develop/design. Im 1 guy with no backing I started my business with literally nothing. Most shops have families and such that helped them I dont have that luxury but will be documenting why seat pressure is needed and why many brands of springs on the market fail. Basically in the next year or so you will see everything/anything motor based off dohc vtec engines coming out of my little shop. |
Re: b series swap list
chris: bringing boners to the honda community since hmt
|
Re: b series swap list
damn, well if i ever go to vtec ill have to consult chris on that matter. sucks that im gonna have a ls head instead, but at least it will be a b series engine for the time being. i think i could save up and pick up a b16 head cheap in my area. not only is this swap gonna be for fun, but i want to baseline test it before i possibly add a turbo to it. although i do know i would like to add a shot of laughing gas to it.

Re: b series swap list
chris...did you say 500 shipped anywhere in the continental 48......if so ill be interested in the future
|
Re: b series swap list
So how much am I looking at for springs/ retainers when it comes down to it?
|
Re: b series swap list
well a little update. i held off on my old b18a1 head for the time being. looking into a possible complete swap from a newer teg. just waiting to see what happens. i also got my b series swap mounts about 2 weeks ago and they look great. just need to be black instead of gray.
