More pics + vids is what we all want. :)

Hows the harness working? You may be able to make them per request for money, just a thought.

Nice swap.

^probably be a pain in the ass to make.

Pretty nice swap dude.

Nice work getting things done! Now we need vids of how quick it is! Bet it's pretty fun!

as far as the harness it wasnt bad but very time consuming.. and my time is expensive lol

Shits pretty badass man!

Nice job man,wish I had the funds and a place to do a B-swap,keep up the good work.

Mikekaos= Noob of the year.

Good job man! :thumbup:

Well if the head is ok, you could pick up an LS or B20 block for much cheaper then a b16 or b18Vtec motor. Good luck, sorry to hear about the damage.

she was a beast had power from idle to 8k... yeah i gotta see what its like once i pull the head

Breaking parts is always a perfect excuse to go bigger and better.. don't give up man..

Man that sucks! But like gfrg88 said: good time for something bigger and better! :)

the part that sucks is she only ran for 4 days

dont give up on us. oldschoolswap(vet member) also blew a b16 and he rebuilt it with better parts and i think its still going strong

Of course it sucks to do that amount of work for only 4 days of fun!
But don't those 4 days make you want more? :)

for sure im gonna see if the head is fixable.. if so civic type r pistons if not then ill find a new head and a b20 crvtec

ok so here is an update im going be using another b16 block that i had donated... 81.5 ctr pistions. and a brand new b16 head with supertech flat face valves, dual springs, and retainers... with gs-r cams... should be done in the next month or so ill keep you all posted...

Sounds beastly! :D

So the head was gone as well?

bump looking forward to updates

Here's an update: just picked up a p&p gsr head compleate with skunk 2 intake manifold and valve cover.. gonna end up ordering jdm itr pistions and rebuilding asap.. to answer the question yea head and block were both killed... So good thing I had a extra block... Compression ratio should be about 11.13:1 :) ok guys ill have some pics up soon for u all

sweet. cant wait

Very nice set up you got there. i think the N1 would sound good on there. i try to avoid the Cannon looking mufflers as they attract to much attention and look ricey IMO.

looking good. so you used a 87 teg pass axle but yet you also said you rebuild it with the inner hub. Got kinda lost on that part.

looks g thou

Thats is SWEET!!!.... uhm, does it leak oil?

stock passanger axle with the jdm b16 inner hub ill post pics in a bit.. none at all all new engine it was a compleate rebuild..

stock a20

Ok, I was just asking cause I saw the bottle of oil next to the filter.

that swap looks fresh! love that valve cover :D

thanx guys oil is there cause it burns oil lol non emissions friendly b16

so small update.. swapped muffler to a megan oe. the oval one sounds good now she breathes like she should :-) also replaced the pcv and seems to be burning less oil.. ill post more pics tonight and maybe a few more pics..

I still think you need some kind of n00b of the year banner under your name!!! :D


Can't wait to see more pics, man! Post some vids too!! :cheers:

Looks like the car is striking on you man, its an original 2.0L car, so it sud be. Legen was right, there is no replacement for displacement. Good cams will run you just about the same as B20tech. and just as much power but the bonus is that you'll have bottom power, to drag you in high gear, small engine just cant compare. And it will be more efficient when cruising.

crvtec is ok but there not reliable.. if anything ill get a gsr long block and build that but only after my head is fully built.

x2

very nice

b20vtec or lsvtec is reliable IF DONE RIGHT. short cuts or saying awww thats to much ill skip that part. Clearances done right. I made the extra time for my shit to get done right.

ive seen lsv and b20v take a shit matter of months and weeks. but also the ones ive seen is the ones that were slowy build from the ground up. I love when peeps pull there head off and slap a gsr or b16 head on and expect there b20v or lsv last. NOOB move. either setup needs to be done correct.

b20v would walk all over a gsr so i would change my mind lol. My lsv took me a year to build but it wont be a slouch for any means.

but if you want a stock reliable setup a gsr b16 b18 so on is good. buildt is a whole different story but a vtec motor not done right will blow just like a b20v or a lsv. ITS all in the builder and tuner.

very true thats why i wanna see how far i can push the b16 then ill move up.. but well see being that i wanna go all motor with itb's :-)

..reallly hoping that time improves a lot...I ran a 16.5 on stock motor with 450k, so with a decently modded motor you should be seeing better times, even though its not a 2.0l.
