I'm pretty sure he's comparing it with the low comp B20B which is 8:8:1 or something like it.

Re: B20Z turbo advice

Thanks for the input guys. I can't completely decide but I'm thinking about buying a ls motor and keeping that as a spare. I'll turbo the b20 and slowly start a ls/vtec build. Once thats done I'll swap the motors out and have ls/vtec turbo.

Or you can build (properly) an all motor B20 VTEC and call it a day.

B20's came with 9:6:1 and 8:8:1 so comparing them I can see why someone would call them high and low comp.

You'll end up spending money if you're trying to build a good-reliable motor. Regardless if its N/A or boosted. Anybody can throw a turbo in a B series and go but; is it going to last?

Re: B20Z turbo advice

Well I prefer turbo over all motor anyways. So thats the way I'll be going. Unless nitrous sounds better to anyone lol

Re: B20Z turbo advice

thats a pain in the ass every time you have to fill up

boost it. do all the necessary precautions in building a motor. have it tuned at start up. youll be good to go
