Haha nice one ! The replacement for displacement ! Short ratios ! Yeah babe
The guy that raced his close ratio 9 against a standard one would disagree...

the b20b has very weak con rods. PLS for the love of god , if you want to rev past 8k . pls go for H beam con rods and do a full crank balancing.
i've seen so many b20b destroyed due to the con rods giving way.
Good choice. B18s are great but a well built and tuned b20 is more than a match.Guys this is what my b20 vtec will be-
Ctr head,
Ctr inlet manifold
Hondata inlet gasket
2.5 inch exhaust/de-cat
Rmf narrow headers
Jun type 3 cams

I'm open to advise from you guys to change or improve something.
Thanks all for your comments........
LET THE B20 vtecccccc beginnnnn

Mine has been revving to 8200 rpm for near 6 months now without a problem and theres no need to rev higher.
To quote daz on the crx forums who built my engine and many other b20s
"If you have a B20 making less than a B18 I think your taking it to the wrong tuner"
Just to add, I was told a decat and 3" exhaust would have seen me make closer to 230bhp on my current setup.

I think the thing to remember about this whole B18C or B20 debate is the fact that the B20 has to be modified to develop 200Hp... Where as the B18C is very close straight out of the factory..
alot of B18C's are now at and beyond 100,000 miles and still running very strong.. How many B20's are there that have even covered 30,000 miles ??? i mean that genuinely i don't know how many miles people have put on theirs.. be nice to see what ileage people have heard B20's doing... ??
Forget the gears. They're great for a high revving B16 but on a B20 they'll just slow you down.
Fair comment ZEN, wasn't questioning the reliability of the B20 i just simply didn't know lol and thought it best to ask as then others wandering the same can get educated along with myself.
I guess the comment of built right first time cannot be stressed enough
Good to hear yours is still strong.. 221 Hp with all that tourque Jeeeeeeeeeeezsus !!! lol
I want to build it once and build it properly. I don't like cutting corners i want a reliable b20 vtec.
