b20 theory

[shupeedo-cord]

ok heres my plan guys .. do you think i can put a b20b engine with a GSR head and a b18 supersharger?? is it posible ... im thinking ill get about .. if its posible 210 HP with that combo.

[86hatchbackLXi]

how much money and free time do you have to burn? anything is possible for the right price.

[shupeedo-cord]

ok i know but i wanna know if its posible .. is it compatible to do that swap?

You have to look at the head gaskets for the two engines and see if they line up. If not, you'll have to do some plumbing to get the cooling and oil ports to line up. I think Matt has a GSR head for sale, or maybe a type-r head, I forget. He's the guy with the jumpy-figher-dude avatar and the <~()@$!@> username. He's like Prince -- he's the 3Geezer Formerly Known as Matt.

[IWLSF]

LoL. He's got Ryu as an avatar I think, he's dressed in pink hopping up and down. Generally, all b-series parts are interchangeable. As far as the S/C goes, it may have different connections based on where the motor was out of. They are generally made for cars with the motor already in them, so they already have defined hood clearances and everything.

[IWLSF]

Okay, my bad, it's not Ryu, but it's something similar, Street Fighter or whatever. His acct name is ‹^› ‹(•¿•)› ‹^›.

[RobT5580]

I doubt they are compatible at all without heavy modification. If you want a nasty B20A just do a turbo. It will have more power than the setup your talking about. Plus you can already buy a turbo manifold instead of a custom made one.

[shupeedo-cord]

the supercharger is from jacson racing... you wrote that all b series parts are exangable.. tha S/C is for b series..

by the was i know ‹^› ‹(•¿•)› ‹^›. ... lol .. i mean matt.. i talked to hin about him geting me an engine

[IWLSF]

I know the S/C is for a b-series swap, but those applications were made for the motor being STOCK in a car. For example, say you get the GSR S/C from Jackson Racing...that S/C kit is going to be fabricated for fitting into a 94-01 GSR, not a Civic with a GSR motor swap. Or the 2g B16 in the 99-00, the S/C kit is made for that OBD-II setup.

[shepherd79]

don't bother with jackson racing, they pick out faster.
why bother with B20b block, B18 head and supercharger. you don't know how well will B20B block will work with B18 head when it is supercharged.
anyway, here is what i would get if i had money and EFI accord.

all this engines run on stock internals. if you beefup your internals, you can push it even harder. i would say 300-350HP on B16 engine easy.

[RobT5580]

oh yeah i forgot to mention that you probably wont be able to fit a Jackson charger under their because the brake master cylinder is in the way.

[AvgWhtMale]

They pick out faster? Is this sentence open to interpretation? What do they pick out, their noses?

[shupeedo-cord]

hey i got a question ... do those vortec S?C have B.O.V?

[bobafett]

hmm i am no expert on super chargers, but they are belt driven, so i assume when you let off the throttle it justs stops turning the belt, which stops the forced induction... i dont see why a supercharger would have a BOV... then again maybe they do... but i am 90% sure they dont!

[IWLSF]

They dont, and because they are driven off of the crank pulley, even when you let go of the throttle, the power is still being made. Superchargers make a loud WHINNING sound, it's pretty noticeable.

[IWLSF]

BOV's are made to relieve excess pressure, superchargers do not run in that same way.

[guaynabo89]

Look closely on their site. Vortech supercharger systems do come with a blowoff valve.

[AccordSi]

As as it pushing extra intake pressure to the engine some form of pressure relief valve will be needed...supercharger or turbo engine.
