Thank you sir very nice upload really helpful. Now going to add my lower block crankcase vent into the existing system, curious to see what result I get in my specific circumstances.
Actually half of the things I realize? Are always thoughts in my head, I mean stuff I learn and it’s just there and I figured this is an excellent platform to share the insomnia 🤣😂
Oh nice on the “pointing up” And indeed on a b20 it is quite more beneficial than most as the block doesn’t have a breather unlike their “vtec” counterparts
I always wondered why many builders here in the philippines put the breather on the valve cover. When making the breather on the crankcase makes more sense.
Yes!!! Thank you I’m not alone 😂 Actually was dying to say on the video that “doing that cuz u saw it” is a monkey see monkey do move but In the Philippines… u get hate by doing nothing so imagine if u say stuff lol
Great video bro. I like the idea of including the Integra as one of the most famous Hondas. I would like to ask you... I see that you sometimes use the red and sometimes the blue color on the engine block. I am quite sure that it means something. :) Thanks for the answer and keep up. Great video man.
@@SRDmotorsports I thought it has a meaning with the intake or upper or lower part connecting the gasket. :) Thanks for the explanation. Hit that like button on my upcoming car video. I think that you missed it. :)
You can use a exhaust crank case scavenging system like on v8 hot rods as the more air you flow through the exhaust the harder it vacs down the crank case. Although you will need some air oil separator set up.
Yes sir! That’s also in the pipeline (no pun intended) Back in the day I had a pair of those (Moroso) think that actually had a check valve and all Interestingly enough this isn’t so common on the import scene but even VW class11 friends of mine do it and swears by it since it’s a strict class so we know it does help
Time to walk outside and see what my builder done also on motor my car is running low nines in the eighth on a full built all motor ls v tec haven’t been bk though after I fixed the exhaust and the loose alternator belt. Also do you think the closed deck is y my coolant system puts a lot of pressure in the coolant lines.
@@SRDmotorsports low nines in the 1/8 mile isn’t to bad for a all motor car. But I feel with a closed deck it’s less area for the same amount of coolant to flow through so it would make a lot of pressure. My head hasn’t even had work done yet. I’m racing this weekend at midnight madness in Southwebster Ohio so my yonaka muffler is old and stopped up so I’m going to use a straight through old school A1c I think is the name of it
@@tjabdon606 yes low 9s is more than decent and real good actually… And I can see what you’re saying on the deck surface area thing it makes sense actually
What can we do on the K24 to make it breath better? I currently have a small filter on the valve cover breather but what can we do for the block? Top video and information btw 👌
Are those golden eagle cam gears the machined ones or the titanium? I really like the mirror finish! I wanna say they look like the machine finish but it’s hard to tell lol. Thanks for any feedback!
Now that is awesome! And that 10whp when you think about it, is more expensive if it was thru other parts mod or addition… Awesome to know this! And you got it man!
Hi sir. Great video! I have a B20 vtec aswell. Just want to ask, is it possible just to install one breather plug and on the one nearer to the transmission? Or should be on that hole you installed a breather on your video at 4:20? Thanks! :)
thank youuuuu for saying that! as like on the b20 block, i always always vent at the back of the block and its nice to see an individual suggest and share the same sentiments 👊
@@SRDmotorsportsif I can only vent through the dip stick tube is it still valid I have good amount of blow by because my forged pistons have a pretty wide gap is what I was told by the previous owner
Yeah AN12 is big enough I think what u can do is weld an AN12 nut behind the block right by the balance shaft curve? Cuz if the balance shaft is eliminated then that’s an empty “area” inside the block kinda okay spot
Nice vid! Very informative. Maybe in the future you can teach us how to swap a b series (preferably a budget b20b) in to a eg or ek chassis the filipino way. Ever since i moved here in the philippines i got hooked in the honda scene and been wanting to build a b series eg ever since but all i can find in the forums about b swap in eg or ek chassis is that you need integra parts which is kind of rare here, i've been thinking can local crv axles be used as alternative? and what passenger side engine bracket to use because from what i've read, the b20b passenger side bracket is to "tall"
Oh that’s true on brackets Def something cool to look into, what chassis do u have? EG right? I’m gonna look into this and see what goods we can put out
How do you deal with the catch can constantly filling up with oil? Atleast that has been my experience when running lines off the block on these B series engines.
We only see it on hard runs but it’s why the same kind of catchcan like T1 the 2 lower ones are for the block this way it drains it out when on idle… Another trick that may be helpful is the fitting to the block? We use a 90deg elbow/turn that goes upwards vertical and we try to keep it going up near the bottom of the manifold this could probably lessen the oil fill… hopefully you visualize it
Oh that is tough indeed… the factory airbox location? Only downside is it’s lower than the vc so must loop the vc hose if ever u are venting both block and vc
@@SRDmotorsports doing the crankcase ventilation only should compensate for vc pressure, it's ok to have a little lubrication in the intake manifold with open throttle not at idle
@@Built_it_by-alex that’s true I mean the factory one it gives more efficiency down there and all which is good but not as enough as we ideally would prefer
"Regardless of piston ring condition, all Honda VTEC engines all suffer from excessive crankcase pressure at high power and RPM levels. This is caused by extreme piston speed, long camshaft timing events, and a PCV system that is completely inadequate at high throttle angles and low manifold vacuum levels. Many of today's large displacement B series engines are based on new blocks where Honda deleted the breathing "can" (on the rear of the block), causing these engines really suffer from extreme crankcase pressure (frequently high enough to rush past the seals, blowing the spark plug wires off the plugs.) Pressures like these cause oil and other contaminates to severely degrade the quality of the mixture in the cylinders, reducing power and greatly increasing the possibility of detonation."
On your first comment YES!!!!! Details like “why” jaspers crank was as such 😎 And thanks to Don Flores (RIP) he showed me details of the Mugen d16a6 he refreshed and showed me cool stuff including stock factory rods that are “Mugenized” 😂 But I promise If I get to do a series build of my d16a6 il share some tidbits and talk about it hihihi as I did the Mugen way too lol
On your second comment.. YES! Again and a lot of small things that could and would help do a better job Larry Widmer talked about the details he does on the girdle as to function against a “slinging” oil And from others I read and saw… other tricks that aid in drain back that actually does help crankcase pressure
Basically two ways have two fittings on the block or two fittings on the valve cover hmnnn the block seems easier since I’m not a wielding guy for the valve cover
Yeah for the b20 and b18 nonvtec u got two plugged vents at the back For vtec blocks it’s 1 plugged vent and the factory. Canister on the right so both can be for breather too
@@SRDmotorsports I would consider doing one on the Vtec valve cover but I’ll have to find someone who can wield so that’s a no no for me so I’ll do it on the back of the block like my old B20vtec
Like the dseries the oem black box is for PCV the system router to the intake manifold with the PCV valve It does not “breath” out for full throttle or anything over 70-80% throttle But for idle and part throttle where 95% use their car? It works and it’s good

Proper crankcase ventilation indeed helps achieve better efficiency as discussed in this video below

Would u suggest routing a pvc valve on Valve cover to intake manifold on a k24 ?
The k24 like the b20 didn’t have one in the block right? Makes u think about it
But even the B series or D didn’t have a pcv valve on the valve cover
Keep in mind 90% of crank case pressure is created from ring blow by therefore vent at the back of the block whenever possible
