B20 Performance?
Generally, what would a B20 Vtec put to the ground with Basic bolt ons, and Type R pistons? What can you expect for reliability? Anyone want to comment that has this setup? How does it drive around town, how "Torquey" does it feel? Im very curious!
Everything is for trade.

crv block after you sell head, about 700$
forged pistons 500$
bore/hone 50$
open up the chambers on the head (guess at 50$) to match crv bore
use crv rods/crank
bearings 200$
reuse oil/water pumps if u get low mileage motor, if not about 300$ for new ones
timing belt 50$
gasket set(about 250-300$)
endyne breather kit(which self destruct recomends for a b20 build)
150$
about 2400 for a built block
thats assuming u can build it urself(i dont account for labor cuz i would just build it myself)
vtec head with everything inclusing ecu
say 1000
mount kit 500
thats 3900
add about 750 to that for me to get a cable tranny with act clutch
i totaled about 4600 with a complete rebuild at that.
i forget who paid almost 4k for a stock crvtec, but u got ripped the fuck off.

im very interested in this setup as well. the thing that worries me is the cost and the fact that not many people know how or have the experiance to perform this swap. i have a 00 si and was going to use my head on the b20. i did some research and found that there are two types of b20's, the b20b and b20z. i believe that the b20b has a lower c.r. and is better for future turbo. i would love to see the results of fucarasr's runs. i wont to know if its worth it to do this swap.

the big problem I see with the b20 set up is the fact you would probably have to keep the stock bottom end. And it can not handle the harmful harmonics of anything above prob. 6.5krpm over a long period of time. So, reliability wise, I wouldn't count on it unless you get the harmonics in check, or keep it under 7krpm.
I think this may be the reason why we don't see too many, or too many last long, from what I hear.
If you really want more cc's then you might think about stroken a b16 block. Lighter weight, square, just as easy to get 2.0 out of(I think R&D racing in old sport comp car, sorry to quote a mag but good info, got like 2.3 out of it with no worries), and cheaper than 1.8 blocks. Get a TypeR bottom end bigger pistons. Or even a stroker kit.
or just get reamed and buy a spoon type-r short block, stroked or not
