B20 Q's?
 
What needs to be done to increase revibility in a B20 block? want to be able to rev at least 7k maybe more, because planning on CRV-tec

At least ARP rod bolts. I would do rods, balanced crank/rotating assembly.

Driverman5777 Feb 28, 2006 08:49 PM

So a performance crank or just have it balanced

dubcac Feb 28, 2006 08:53 PM

Have the OEM crank balanced...OEM cranks are damn near bulletproof, no need to change. If you want to go to 8k, just the rod bolts should be fine.

Ok thanks, Where could I have it balanced at and would I want to use my B18b crank or the B20 crank? I'd probably change the pistons for a Higher compression.

B20 crank = B18B crank...same thing with rods...they're identical. If you change pistons, youre going to need to change the rods...so they will come with ARP bolts. Any automotive machine shop should be able to balance the crank.

Ok, so new rods, pistons and balanced crank and I should be good 2 go?
What compression do you recomend? Want to turbo later so not too high but not too low I was thinking like 9:7

dubcac Feb 28, 2006 09:05 PM

Well if you can find a B20Z instead of a B20B, the compression is 9.6:1 stock. I like 10:1, good all around number.

thanks

how much would it be for the bolts and install? how much for balancing? i know it will depend on where i go but ballpark it

how difficult would a diy be for the rods?
