born2board's b20 vtec build
 

Hey guys, now that the car is finally looking good. I figure its time to get onto the heart of it and give the baby some balls. So in my dorm room lol i am building a b20 vtec for the teggy for spring.

Motor will consist of a
b16 head with
Skunk2 Stage 2 cams
Skunk2 Valvesprings/retainers
Blox IM
Either a AEBS or ITR TB
Skunk2 Cam gears

B20 bottom end
bored either +.2 or .4(not sure..advise?)
JE 11.5 compression B20/B16 Pistons
Eagle H beam rods
Arp hardware

And a GSR tranny with LS 5th gear

Now if you guys have any advise or feel i should reconsider some of my choice please feel free to let me know

My goal is to hit somewhere around 200-210 whp which i think should definatly be achieveable on this setup.

Pics will be coming shortly

hey, hows about some pics since this is the pic/video forum!

Budget for an LSD.

^^and make sure that you keep up with your research.

How big is your dorm room??

Pics will be up soon i just have to get back to my other computer lol

Amanda its not that big, im building the head up here right now, i will probably get all of the parts for the bottom end and then actually build that in my basement at home over the winter break.

And LSD i was defiantly considering becasue i will probably have some traction issues

just bore it 20 over. the sleeve is already really thin. all you need is a fresh surface. you can get RS Machines pistons instead of the JE and shot peen the stock rods instead of the eagles to save a bit of cash. both will hold up to the abuse.

update with a few pics.
motor storage place lol

the money u spend on this motor is close 2 get a k20a2..IMO:confused:

no it wont be.

not even close, good luck on the build!!

------- sex! we need to get everyone together for a photoshoot before winter rolls around.

alex is nowhere near his car right now, I think. i guess the best time to do it is over the thanksgiving weekend do it on the sunday. we can set something up if you're interested. BTW did you finish resizing he pics from the H-T meet photoshoot?

Yea im up in barrie while the car is parked at home til spring:( even when i go home for the weekends i dont have insurance on it.

But thanks for the comments

yeah i pmed them all to you. if you need me to, i'll pm you them again.

yes please. i didn't get the PM. thanks

Update!

Recieved head back from CCH, grahm just took a few thou off the head for a fresh surface and i had the head cleaned up a little. As well i recieved a few parts in the mail. Just waiting on a few more small parts and some cam gears and it will be head assembly time.

thanks for the support mark:D but yes he did a very good job on it and very well priced

Nice work

Looking good Alex

lol.


Good work on the build. Look forward to seeing the end results.

How high you plan on reving it? May want to consider getting the rotating assembly balanced.

Can't wait to see the results, I'm looking at doing a build like this.

And this will be the motors new home come spring time

What kind of sides are those?
Thanks

^stock ek sides

hahaha.... u live in the new res @ georgian don't you???? I hated that place....

lol yea i do, and defiantly a house next year

Love the EK sides on the Teg, was contemplating doing this on my Wifes 99 GSR b4 it was totaled :(

Gram is the man at CCH. He built my bottem end for me, so far stock sleeves are holding 505whp @ 24lbs of boost!!! *knock on wood*, I daily drive it tuned at 18psi makes 446whp@

probably no need to pass 8500 or even 8000. he'll find out once it's dyno tuned.
Honda cranks are usually balanced pretty good from what i was told by the guy that did my machine work. My crank was off by only 1 gram. i had him shave it anyways.
