Okay so i am going to but a b16a head and b20b block, but i am going to build it for a turbo application. I heard that lots of ppl have problems with wearing out bearing because they rev too high and dont balance the crank. Is this true? and if i do need it balanced do i need to send in the pistons, rods, and crank to be balanced? or just the crank thanks guys. I also heard that when doing a b20 vtec gsr bearings are better to use rather than b20's.
Any input helps guys thanks, peace. Oh by the way i am planning on getting different rods and pistons, forged pistons and probably eagle rods.

 

wow no responses??? i know this the integra forum and not the hybrid forum but i figured some of u would know about this!!!?!?! i just want opinions or any thoughts from u guys. I'm buying this engine complete head and block for 750$ canadian. so i'm willing to spend some money to make this setup last, i dont wanna just throw the head on the block and bada bing bada boom. I know you ppl have lots of info so let me know!! and yes i searched!!! but unsuccessful. so give a fellow integra owner a hand!!!
thanks guys

 

make sure you use ARP head studs/rod bolts.... balancing the crank would be a good idea just to be safe... as well as giving the head to a machine shop to have it resurfaced

 

for sure man! i have already got the ARP head bolts, and i am getting eagle rods, i believe they come with ARP studs as well. How about bearings should i consider getting a better quality bearing or just stock b20 bearings.

 

OEM Honda bearings are fine. As long as the clearances are right and proper oil pressure is present, you shouldn't have a problem with the bearings.

 

I'm getting a type R oil pump with the engine, u think that will generate enough oil pressure?? Also do i have to get just the crank balanced alone, or do i need to bring in the rods and pistons too to get balanced? How much does balancing usually cost? i have 1400 bux that i can spend right now on the engine, i just though balancing was a good idea. I also have money for sleeeving coming later on, this will be my first engine build so i am going to take my time.
