b20
 

my home boy was telling me about getting a b20 with a b16 (Si) tranny... how good of a setup would this be if i get it turbocharged???

I know that i have to do my research on it and all, but i wanted to get input from people that already know something about this also

sorry, i forgot to specify... hewastalking about ab20z

Risky. I've heard of many accounts of cracked sleeves from boosted B20s (that's where the extra displacement comes from, thinner sleeves). Killer N/A set up, but do some homework before boosting.

And it doesn't have tohave a Si tranny. There are several transmissions that will do well to suit your needs.

the tranny was just a suggestion. thanks a lot for the information. i will definitely have to do my research though...

RE: b20
 

realistcally speaking...the b20 sleeves aren any noticeable amount thinner than a GSR or SiR

RE: b20
 

stick with a b18.

RE: b20
 

maybe he cant afford one. the b20 block with a b16 head can be a killer as hell combo.

on that note...i'd love an LS/VTEC for myself

just because its cheap, don't mean you gotta have it...

RE: b20
 

3mm to be exact and if you crack the sleeves you are doing something wrong or you need aftermarket sleeves anyway.

RE: b20
 

just because the GSR is 3 times the price doesnt mean its a better engine
