I was looking at the golden eagle kit for the ls/b20 vtec I'm picking up a integra with a b20 in it and I don't have the kind of money to do a gsr or itr swap I was wondering if its worth getting or just wait and save and buy a gsr or itr swap?

 

A b20 vtec setup is great gives you a quick car without spending a lot of money. Itr and gsr swaps are pricey. It all depends on your budget which route you wanna take.

 

well for now i want something quick and cheap till i have more money for a swap are they reliable b20 vtec?

 

well depends on your definition of "quick" swapping in a $2500 GSR motor wont really help you much, especially with stock LS tranny.

 

Tru that's y I wanna look into the golden eagle kit cause its cheaper and I wanna be able to have some decent power with bolts ons and a good tune hp wise possibly 180?

 

i got the golden seagle kit its awesome just dont use there head gasket get a cometic and a ls bottom end just my 2 cents do what you want

 

no way will you get to 180whp with stock setup.

Im saying low/mid 160whp. moreover, you have ls transmission which will be slow.

 

i got a b20 aswell, bone stock. just an aem v2 on it. what size gasket should u order with this kit? theres 81-86mm gasket. what is suggested? after this mod i probably will just do bolt ons, and suspension upgrades..so what gasket set would be best? and should u rebuild the vtec head u swap?

 

I was gonna run a b16 tranny and b16 head and get a few bolt ons like intake manifold throttle body exhaust and exhaust manifold

 

MALICE85 - if you're staying stock bore then 84mm

dcboy94 - saw a dyno sheet of b20 with gsr head (higher compression) made 175whp. Skunk2 i/m and full 2.5" exhaust.

 

That's pretty sick I'm gonna look into it

 

ok thanks...yea im not lookin for crazy power..just want to look clean and have some fun..hopefully by mid may my teg will b on the road..

 

i've got the GE kit but i used oem ls head gasket.
