2.0 liter CRV bottom end B16A/B18C head = 2.0 liter VTEC B-series with no boring or stroking.

 

that's not too reliable is it? Alot of stress on the rods at high rpms no?

 

I'm not sure. I think the bottom ends of all B-series can handle high revs its just the valvetrain isn't designed to rev much over 7k without the wild cam profile the VTEC creates and all the extra beefed up goodies the head has. But then again Honda could have put less heavy duty parts in the bottom end because there is no VTEC. You'd have to find that out. You could always just buy aftermarket rods.

 

hope you got some loot to back up that build....and no the bottom end on the B20 is not made to rev high. all B series arent made for it. most people that are running the CRVTEC have the bottom end built to shit to hand anything close to the upper rev range

 

Get rid of that crappy tranny asap.

 

Well, if you think about it, the CRV is automatic so getting it to redline besides putting it in neutral, is a challenge. The B20 wasn't made to rev all that high, it's a damn SUV!
