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 *****. 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

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.

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.

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.
