wow thats funny because of bad sealing around the pistons, the whole cylinder leaked. the fucking PCV system works.!!!!!!! well atleast u know that works

you gona use total seals then?
The funny thing is i thought it was the valves for sure because the air was pouring out through the inlet filter on the turbo but i have a moroso oil catch can in my PCV system and i have it setup with the air filter piping. But when i did the test yesterday when i put the head on and did another compressed air leak down it was blowing through the oil passages in the head. Then going out the inlet for the new PCV setup shown here:
I looked at Total Seal and i was trying to get suggestions since i never had to buy just rings before. So any input on ring selection is welcome.
I got the B20A running today so i can try to get some miles on her if it dont snow. I pulled the turbo and the EMS so i can break her in w/o boost this way when my tuner comes back we wont have any surprises. Everything seems good except i have to re-adjust the valves. Hopefully it will be nice next week so i can do a few long drives to get the miles on it but i did see some possible snow this weekend.
That's what I'm talking about Rob. Let's see some pics of the car with the motor in.

It looks like shit because i had to make a ghetto intake since i tossed my stock stuff in the garbage and i just slapped a dirty teg distributor on. I should get some pictures next week if its nice out. Im going to take it to my friends shop to adjust the valves and check it all over. Im looking for a new intake manifold (aftermarket B16) with TB and IAC so i can get rid of my A20 one. So hopefully everything goes well with the break in process then get the AEM setup soon or when the weather breaks for the better in the spring.
Nice about time. I should be ready for spring to. I hope its pretty much up to the machine shop for me now. And we all know how they can be.
Stop bench racing and pick up a wrench
I know my spelling sucks and I suck with computers deal with it.
Sweet rob you should make some vids and post em when you can

Awesome dude. I bet a huge weight has been lifted off your shoulders. I can't wait until you put the turbo back on, dyno it, and run some track times. I wanna see how fast this bastard is.
No projects. Life consumes my time and money.
it looks like shit?! i've seen the pics, i bet you could take a dump on the valve cover and that engine would still look good.Originally Posted by RobT5580

Thanks guys and its the best christmas gift i could ask for with the problems iv had. Its nice to finaly get to drive a B20A after having two at my house for almost two years now. I should have did this in the first place just to get some miles on it and things seated. I put about 50 miles on her tonight and everything was fine other than the noisy valves. Oh and my speedometer is off a bit because i have the accord speed sensor in it.
It looks like crap because i slapped a dirty distributor and cylinder sensor on their and got a ugly brown dist cap from autozone on it. On top of that a mess of vacuum lines since i could not fit the vacuum rail on with my fuel rail. I will take some pictures next week when i do the valve adjustments again. So im glad i spent yesterday in the rain/50 degree weather then today in the low 20's to get this done it was well worth the drive.
yeah break it in without boost for a few hundred miles then boost it (with a good basemap

Im going to run it for about 1000 miles then get ready for boost. I wish i didnt have to deal with winter because im loving how it feels compared to the A20A3. I just got back from another trip and you can definately feel the torque and HP difference. Im going to fix the valves tommorow and the upper rear mount is clanking when i shift for some reason. I put all new mounts in and changed the rubber in the upper mount so i have to try to fill the mount with something to keep it from moving.
Im bored and procrastinating so I figured i would post some pictures of my b20a progress. Im working on the Edelbrock Victor X B16 manfiold, Edelbrock ITR throttle body, and shortly a 90-93 Integra Fluidyne aluminum radiator.
Before
Now (in progress)
Don't mind the mess i was test fitting stuff and pulling the engine in and out so its a mess. Im going to fire the car with the accord ecu and new IM/TB to make sure everything is ok then i will put the turbo stuff back on. Im also re routing wires and removing stuff i dont need like the black box so hopefully in the end you wont see much wire and garbage on the fire wall area and fender wells. My tuner is coming back in march so hopefully it goes well then i can hit the dyno for you guys.
Awesome rob!!!! cant wait till you get that thing running at it best and put down some numbers!!!

Tell me about it i should of had it running in october but stuff happens. Iv been working on it every friday and i forgot i only have 3 weeks before spring break then my tuner is coming. So i have to get a lot done these next 3 weeks since i lost track of time. I was planning on spraying the engine bay now but i still have more fab work and not enough time so it will wait. So if the car runs ok on the accord ECU i will put the AEM EMS and try to figure out why i dont have spark. My car ran on the EMS before but when i tried to fire it i had no spark so hopefully i clear that up to save time with my tuner. I think its my coil output on the EMS but i have 5 outputs so i just have to change it. The good thing is i have all the parts paid for that im using on the engine so when this is done i can work on other things finally.
I like your style.Can't wait to see it in full swing.

Looks really great Rob, you really do go the extra mile with everything to make it look it's best, I wish I had that much cash to drop into my car. Can't wait to see it.
I got annoyed with all the crap under the hood so im trying to get rid/hide as much as i can. The black box will get rid of the biggest clutter under the hood. Hopefully everything goes well over the next few weeks so i can hit the dyno soon.
Nice job Rob, Congrats, but the EDELBROCK Manifold is for High rpm applications like
newer VTEC engines like B16A TURBO 2nd stage ,a good manifold for 9000-10000rpm
applications. For B20A TURBO, I think the best manifold is the B16A with
ITR THROTTLE BODY, Good for 300-350hp , if you plan to go above that level ( higher boost) then you need larger THROTTLE BODY.
The B16A manifold is the best for max 7000-8000rpm applications.
ACCORD 3G RUNS FOR EVER
I looked at all my options and my tuner has tuned hundreds of boosted honda's and this was his first pick even with the lower revs. If it were n/a i would not have gotten it. I was just gonna get the skunk 2 manifold which is similar to the ITR one but id listen to someone who has done a handful of 500+ hp honda's and is known to be one of the best tuners on the east coast (using the AEM EMS). So hopefully things work out in my favor and i lay down between 300-400hp. I based this off of some B20A5 setups that are in the upper 3's that are similar to my setup.
Very good stuff Rob .... What size injectors are you running again?
