im about to start my B20 build and was wondering if its worth putting a VTEC head on it if its going to be boosted? wut do y'all think? i know a few people on here have this setup. how did it work for you

 

ive heard the B20 blocks are basically garbage because of the shitty ass sleeves...anyone else heard this?

 

well my friend mike's making 270hp to the wheels in a b20 turbo hatch, setup on stock internals. it ran a 12.6 at 111
but yes, the b20's sleeves are weak

 

 

its true, best thing is to get it sleeved. thats the block im going to start building after my ls blows. b20 is the better block to build if your gonna dump the money into it though.

 

DIE!

 

Why not just start with an LS and sleeve that. same crank? The bore is just different I believe. I think a b20 will handle 18-20 psi on a stock block. How much more do you need? Yes put a vtec head on it.

 

why put a vtec head on it. Just get a set of bigger cams, do a port and valve job on it.

But then again i am not a b series guy so dont take my word for it, Cause i would rather tell you put a k series in it and. A k24 with a k20a2 head and the crower boost cams. Crower rods, and crower pistons for the k24. now that would be a setup

 

You could put over 1200 dollars into a ls head and still not make more power if you just put on a vtec head for like 500 bucks. That's my opinion, but I don't know b-series that well either.

 

ok. Just a thought. Dont know shit about b series. But k series i can talk about.
