CR-V B20 block, what does this give? Ive heard of many setups with B16 head on B20 block from CRV. Is this better than the B18C block? Or is it a setup for those who wanna go turbo?

 

more displacement, but i think the B20 cyclinder walls are thinner though....dont quote me on that i cant remember

As for being better, wouldnt know Because of the thinner walls i might go with the B18 or have the B20 resleeved....other than that, the B20 has that bit more displacement (Either way though i know for sure ARP will be your friend when your building this setup h: )

 

its expensive to build a b20vtec to run correctly. built right, it can make some serious numbers.

 

umhum, but for the price you'll pay to make it stable you might as well go LS/turbo and call it a day...

the stroke on the b18b as well as the b20 are larger than the b18c from what i've heard, so you might have the same reving problems as the b18b, as well as thinner cylinder walls.

i'd suggest gsr turbo or ls turbo before crvtec

 

the b18b and b20b/z have the same r/s ratio. if you want to rev high with this setup, aftermarket rods and pistons, balance the bottom end, throw in a crank girdle if you want, and you should have no problem revving to 8-9k.

 

ehm..that sounds like an advanced setup :dunno: The problem is that the B18C engines are very rare and difficult to find over here. I found one B18C at the junkyard they wanted 1200USD for the engine, without harness and gearbox. Is this a good price?
