I'll be doing the same to my 98 RS. Only difference is to have upgraded intake, exhaust, and cams. Pretty awesome for a everyday commuter and never hurts to a have some punch at the same time.
Fernando Ortiz-Torres USDM Type R Cluster goes to 10,000rpm and redline is set at 8,500rpm with a noticeable red color change for the red zone! also has carbon fiber facing around the gauges. That is A GSR Cluster!
You are right and wrong. A GSR and B16 do have different displacement, 1.6 vs 1.8 liters. They do however have the same Bore But different length rods and a different block deck height. They are both 81mm Bore though, and the B20 that he used in this build was bigger still at 84mm Bore sharing the same 89mm crank as the LS B18a/b.
Sorta, might get some valve float on a stock b16a. The rod/stroke ratio on a b16a vs a b16b is limiting at those rpms too. The 16b having a longer block, and a r/s ratio of something like 1.8, would take 10k easy
What exhaust is that!? It’s sooo quiet at 4-5k rpms. My k24 sounds like a nitro breathing dragon past 3k.... I literally have to drive around town in 6th gear to avoid the unwanted attention. Stock Si manifold, a resonator and ktuned muffler. I’m debating trying to squeeze a second resonator in there....
If you look closely, to the right of the tachometer is a speedometer. By carefully monitoring the sweep of the speedometer needle, (e.g. watching it) you can ascertain the increase in speed over time. The higher the rate of speed increase over time, the "harder it pulls". This particular vehicle falls into the "hard as shit" category of "pulling", as evidenced by the aforementioned calculations.
Randy Illanas better in my opinion and works for a budget build... k series at this point is everyone and there grandma is doing it be with Honda’s or other vehicle types... over rated and just to say I have a k... b will never get old nor cost nearly as much to build and to consistently drive.
Nice Vid ! Curious if you needed to Wire in +12V to the IAB's to get them working ? I needed to do that on an OBD2 GSR swap into an EG... thinking yours mights be the same since you went with the ODB1 ECU.... Thanks ! Keep up the good videos !
Cool videos, I've just discovered your channel and watched a few. I'm a die hard Honda fan and have built nearly a dozen over the last decade. One question though, how are you tuning fuel without a wideband? Going off "feel" is not very accurate lol. Street tuning is fine, we do it every day as our little shop doesn't have an in house dyno but how can you have any idea what to do with the tune if you don't monitor AFRs?
Wussup ..great videos bro...i got a question hope u can reply bak back with some help.. i just bought a b20b low compression..what vtec head can i pur on the b20b block without blowing up
4400 for vtec and 5600 for the secondaries in the intake manifold is pretty close to stock specs, correct? just curious, i wouldnt expect them to change too much with the stock intake manifold.
Hi, I made a b20 vtec with pistons 84mm p30 and connecting rods Scat, bearings acl and acl oil pump. I would like to know what camshaft you recommend for daily drive.
FZT Motorsport VIN number must have DC2 in it. That's the easiest way. There are Vin numbers everywhere on the car too so check them all and hopefully they all match.
I know these videos are old but I really hope you see this comment. I need help to figure out an issue with my b20v setup. Im running a low comp b20v b16a head with fob dyne tune but im having an issue where I do a pull and sometimes it will rev to 8k like its set up to or sometimes it will only rev to 6.5 k or 7k rpm
so how would you dyno tune a setup like this? If the chip is in the burner and not in the ecu? I have a turbo b16 that is chipped and was dyno tuned but Im confused on how it all works...Thanks
Hay I have a question my b20v started but now it doesn’t I have a gsr head gsr stock just a a b20 block does it not start cause I don’t have a catch can
i got a b18a that i got for free and a b17 in my 92 gsr want a little more power should i throw in the b17 head on a b18 or just buy a b20z block or b18vtec turbo? stock block
trying to boost my b20b but im hearing i shouldnt have got a itr trans with b20b....do you think its worth to try and build the motor and trans for turbo or should i build for na? i kinda wana get into the 4-5 hundred boosted obviously
Hey HSG I really need to know how to wire my vtec on my b20vtec the car is a 97 Acura integra rs I'm using a p28 obd1 with a jumper harness I'm not sure where to run the wires for vtec I'll really appreciate if you can help me
Hey guys, I have stupid question. Maybe you can answer it for me. If I build a B20vtec would I be able to stick it back into my CR-V as is or do I need to buy extra stuff for it to work. I just want my CR-V to be more peppy.
I have an 01 gsr . I've never felt the VTEC kick in . around 4.2 rpms it makes a funny sound. what could be wrong or what csn I check. it doesn't act like I've seen other v tecs acts
Quick question I saw you set your rev limiter into the 8k region out of curiosity how reliable is that? (Due to the whole battle of opinions on rod bolts) haha.
Oh ok I didn't know. I know more about civics. Only reason why I know 94-95 is because of the dc chassis I'm not a DA fan that's why I didn't know obd1 went back that far.
Actually it doesn't make power before or after 7000 either.......great on gas though .....thank God for Hondas .....because all you dumbasses would kill people if you had any actual power .....smh
Sell your honda and buy a real car ........then tune your new cars stereo to your favorite station and enjoy it being faster than your rice car .......your welcome
Nobuddy Cares what kind of car do you have I had a chevy truck that no one was touching now I have a Honda and it's a whole different world with power v money and if you were a real "car enthusiast " you would respect all cars for what they are
Victor Pla the gsr manifold has two sets of intake runners, bottom runners being blocked by throttle plates ( aka secondary butterflies). the reason for this is to utilize as much torque and hp at lower rpm when the engine is running on the secondary cam lobes. for the gsr, the vtec will operate the higher lift lobes at 4400 rpm until redline. you won't notice the "vtec crack" during the engagement because it's not receiving as much air as it will when it hits 5800 rpm and the iab regulator opens the "butterfly plates". this is when you will notice the infamous "vtec crack". and no, vtec on the gsr engine does not kick in twice. I hear this all the time and it cracks me up.
Honda Street Garage my sir2 keep going into limp mode when it wants i bought a new distributor. and still does it when it wants being that you got a sir motor what do you think it could be?
Stock LS/B20 rod bolts are sketchy after 8000rpm. The rods themselves, even with ARP bolts, are sketchy after 8800rpm. That said my limiter is 9100 in my stock rod, ARP bolt, B20VTEC.
Brings me back to my B series days. good stuff
I live in darlington SC man and you've changed my perspective on Hondas and imports in general. keep up the good work!
Cool vid Mark! Good info here. Thanks for taking the opportunity to settle some of the B.S. Sounds and appears to be running pretty damn good!
Total respect for your tuning skills,that vtec grunt reminds me of my s2000 days :)
Was actually really cool to see you go through this process, even not that detailed. Thanks!
I love my fully built B20v! nice gsr Confetti's btw 🙌
I'll be doing the same to my 98 RS. Only difference is to have upgraded intake, exhaust, and cams. Pretty awesome for a everyday commuter and never hurts to a have some punch at the same time.
It would have been nice to share your tuning experiences with us with what you adjusted on the maps.
Good stuff fam. Gotta love Crome! Motor sounds fantastic - looking fwd to the paint stage as well.
Lol
R u British
Enjoyed the video, homie. The B20V has certainly been on my mind for a while. I'd be curious to see what your power curve looks like.
Hey man respects on the b20v. You should put that thing on the Dyno for some baseline numbers. That should be a sweet video. Keep doing you're thing!
Donny Muth y do y respect the b20?
I'm implying that I'm give him respects on his b20v build.
ya guys are awesome I wish we had mechanics like ya around here I love civics I got one my self just wit a single cam vtec motor..
Hey thanks for all your tips bro!! I’m recently have a b20z I’m catching your tips
I see a type r cluster!! Lol... If possible you should make a tutorial in more detail on how to use Chrome and the chip burner!! Lol if possible
Fernando Ortiz-Torres That's just a GSR cluster, isn't it?
Type-R and GSR are the same in the US, correct?
Fernando Ortiz-Torres USDM Type R Cluster goes to 10,000rpm and redline is set at 8,500rpm with a noticeable red color change for the red zone! also has carbon fiber facing around the gauges. That is A GSR Cluster!
Boosted B Series EK they are not the same.
Nice one, I have a b20 vtec too, ek4 hatch swapped. Have the new cams in doing about 240hp stock fuel pump!
Theguitarskater1 what mods
It definitely pulls nicely. Sounds great at VTEC crossover.
Very smooth sounding sounds better than my new car
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the B16 was a different animal not because of the displacement, but because of the shorter stroke.
You are right and wrong. A GSR and B16 do have different displacement, 1.6 vs 1.8 liters. They do however have the same Bore But different length rods and a different block deck height. They are both 81mm Bore though, and the B20 that he used in this build was bigger still at 84mm Bore sharing the same 89mm crank as the LS B18a/b.
What are you going on about? You said he was wrong and then said the same thing he did, just the long way.. lmao
shorter stroke gives less displacement, so he was right all along.
Your right a stock b16 with a tune can spin up 2 10k rpm easily and handle it because of the shorter stroke.
Sorta, might get some valve float on a stock b16a. The rod/stroke ratio on a b16a vs a b16b is limiting at those rpms too. The 16b having a longer block, and a r/s ratio of something like 1.8, would take 10k easy
Stepping your game up 🙌
I bet that torque feels amazing.
Those stock rod bolts maybe fine for a DD/ Drag set-up for a while.
Try road racing that build and you'll have some major problems;)
What exhaust is that!? It’s sooo quiet at 4-5k rpms. My k24 sounds like a nitro breathing dragon past 3k.... I literally have to drive around town in 6th gear to avoid the unwanted attention. Stock Si manifold, a resonator and ktuned muffler. I’m debating trying to squeeze a second resonator in there....
that thing pulls hard as shit! not what I was expecting!
You could tell a that from the video Hugh ...........so when do you get your license ???
If you look closely, to the right of the tachometer is a speedometer. By carefully monitoring the sweep of the speedometer needle, (e.g. watching it) you can ascertain the increase in speed over time. The higher the rate of speed increase over time, the "harder it pulls". This particular vehicle falls into the "hard as shit" category of "pulling", as evidenced by the aforementioned calculations.
I love your videos bro...am learning alot from it.
That thing is pretty quick dude almost identical to the type r honestly
I was going to do a k swap on my ej2 but damn now i wanna do a b20v for sure.
Randy Illanas better in my opinion and works for a budget build... k series at this point is everyone and there grandma is doing it be with Honda’s or other vehicle types... over rated and just to say I have a k... b will never get old nor cost nearly as much to build and to consistently drive.
i love b20v setups..its rare i get pulled on.. nice vid
^^^^^^^^^ lol
Need some ITB's on the B20VTEC for better top end power. Plenum is for midrange and the B20 hits hard top ends.
great channel, great video, keep the videos and work flowing =)
Been waiting for that vid . Lol . Very nice!
Am I gonna notice a significant gain from a chipped b20 to a b20v?
so niceyou are the maaan!, it runs so smooth . bless ings ...
I gsr manifold is the truth. The power feels endless
I love my b20v eg its the tits thanks for inspiration your channel has helped me allot
By the time i finally have the money to do this kinda of fun project building here will be no b20 engines left I could build.
btw I want an engine like this...good revs with stock composure. win.
Pretty cool info, thanks
Nice Vid ! Curious if you needed to Wire in +12V to the IAB's to get them working ? I needed to do that on an OBD2 GSR swap into an EG... thinking yours mights be the same since you went with the ODB1 ECU.... Thanks ! Keep up the good videos !
DIY yes I did have too!
Do you have plans to put a skunk2 manifold on? If you do make a video!
Props for still using XP lol
xp haha! i was like dang this old video until i checked the date lol
planning on doing a GSR head swap on my B20 in my CR-V, doing a CR-V build cuz its different tbh
That explains why my P28 was missing out my 94 civic....it runs almost all hondas
Nice work 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Great Videos! What injectors are you running (not sure if you mentioned this before?)
Hi , it has a clip or bridge for the crankshaft?
Cool videos, I've just discovered your channel and watched a few. I'm a die hard Honda fan and have built nearly a dozen over the last decade. One question though, how are you tuning fuel without a wideband? Going off "feel" is not very accurate lol. Street tuning is fine, we do it every day as our little shop doesn't have an in house dyno but how can you have any idea what to do with the tune if you don't monitor AFRs?
Where you go the iab parts for the ecu
wait does he use the stock internals of the b20 with the gsr head
yeah its not boosted so no worries
So you don’t need a vtec oil pump ?
Wussup ..great videos bro...i got a question hope u can reply bak back with some help.. i just bought a b20b low compression..what vtec head can i pur on the b20b block without blowing up
Beautiful sounding and pulling engine fuck a hater love the vids bro but what happened to all your homies ? Don't see em on the vlogs anymore
If you’re running a B16A would you leave the AIB alone or would you zero it with a GSR map? Running a B20 w/B16A head.
4400 for vtec and 5600 for the secondaries in the intake manifold is pretty close to stock specs, correct? just curious, i wouldnt expect them to change too much with the stock intake manifold.
great video would love some more tuning videos. could get a reputable tuner to give u a tutorial and u teach us too.
Hell yeah awesome vid
Hi, I made a b20 vtec with pistons 84mm p30 and connecting rods Scat, bearings acl and acl oil pump. I would like to know what camshaft you recommend for daily drive.
do you have to machine the head?
Are you burning chips? I really need one done for my car man thanks
What is the easiest way to tell if a Integra 94-01 is a true GSR or if someone just put GSR parts on
FZT Motorsport VIN number must have DC2 in it. That's the easiest way. There are Vin numbers everywhere on the car too so check them all and hopefully they all match.
Diosvencedor9 Cool thanks
Diosvencedor9 or db8 for the sedan gsr.
look at the block b18c if its a gsr not a or b. unless you mean the body too then vin number
I know these videos are old but I really hope you see this comment. I need help to figure out an issue with my b20v setup. Im running a low comp b20v b16a head with fob dyne tune but im having an issue where I do a pull and sometimes it will rev to 8k like its set up to or sometimes it will only rev to 6.5 k or 7k rpm
What's different in the obd2b? As in why was it used over obd2a in later years
I have crome and I have the moates burner 2. for the chip burner for 50 on Craig's lol.
Love the show !!!!!! Wish u could do my car
so damn beautiful
why did you disable the knock sensor ? i don't know much about tuning and just want to know.
do u guys not need to run emissions test down south? if you did need to would the b20vtec run OK with just a p72 ecu to pass emissions?
why not tune on a dyno instead of 'feel'. also would a piggyback chip not be simpler?...ps. appreciate ur vids
so how would you dyno tune a setup like this? If the chip is in the burner and not in the ecu? I have a turbo b16 that is chipped and was dyno tuned but Im confused on how it all works...Thanks
ohhhh a franky this makes me miss my b20b
Hay I have a question my b20v started but now it doesn’t I have a gsr head gsr stock just a a b20 block does it not start cause I don’t have a catch can
So is there a good reason for not having AIB and VTEC not kick in at the same time??
i got a b18a that i got for free and a b17 in my 92 gsr want a little more power should i throw in the b17 head on a b18 or just buy a b20z block or b18vtec turbo? stock block
trying to boost my b20b but im hearing i shouldnt have got a itr trans with b20b....do you think its worth to try and build the motor and trans for turbo or should i build for na? i kinda wana get into the 4-5 hundred boosted obviously
Hey HSG I really need to know how to wire my vtec on my b20vtec the car is a 97 Acura integra rs I'm using a p28 obd1 with a jumper harness I'm not sure where to run the wires for vtec I'll really appreciate if you can help me
Just got a car with a b20b and b16 head with a chipped p28 it looks like they pull almost the dame
Hey guys, I have stupid question. Maybe you can answer it for me. If I build a B20vtec would I be able to stick it back into my CR-V as is or do I need to buy extra stuff for it to work. I just want my CR-V to be more peppy.
by the way would it do any bad if u set the vtec engagement at lower rpm ,let say 3000rpm or 3500 rpm?
are you near ny? id like you to help with my k24a2 build? or can you do one in the future in depth on video?
I have an 01 gsr . I've never felt the VTEC kick in . around 4.2 rpms it makes a funny sound. what could be wrong or what csn I check. it doesn't act like I've seen other v tecs acts
That funny sound is everyone around you laughing at the fact your trying to race an economy car ......
lol is that a wannabe Holden manaro?? let me guess custom supercharged? Hahaha, xr6 turbos eat those things for fun sorry mate
the only thing GM is the engine haha, have you seen the ford f6?
Rikki Allen lol its Australias GM devision. Come again young man. And I don't check for fords. There trash. Even if there fast. There fast trash
Yea thought so, uneducated
Quick question I saw you set your rev limiter into the 8k region out of curiosity how reliable is that? (Due to the whole battle of opinions on rod bolts) haha.
Gabriel Rodriguez I had mine set at 8600 and it lasted 12thousand miles before it wiped the rod bearings. Rarely beat on it also.
94-95 obd1 96-99 is obd2a 00-01 is obd2b for integras
obd1 started in 92 for integras as well. the 90-91 integra was still obd0
Oh ok I didn't know. I know more about civics. Only reason why I know 94-95 is because of the dc chassis I'm not a DA fan that's why I didn't know obd1 went back that far.
Hey, what would you say the MAX RPM is with a low compression b20b stock with b18 non Vtec head?
is it a stock b20v it probably doesnt make power past 7000
Actually it doesn't make power before or after 7000 either.......great on gas though .....thank God for Hondas .....because all you dumbasses would kill people if you had any actual power .....smh
Nobuddy Cares mhhmmm
Nobuddy Cares what do you drive mr.keyboard warrior
VTEC POWERED TORTUGA. look how many times he talked shit to other peoples comments. what a dick.
Jeremy Hoffecker i know bro he needs to get a life
can you show me on how to work with crome i want to set de idle control on my d16 but i dont now how
Do you think you could run 8k rpm on a stock b20 block on low boost and still be relatively safe?
Can you tell what transmission are you using.??
can u give tutorial on how to connect the vtec on non vtec please
Throw a wideband on make sure your close
IAB? never herd of that must look into it
Instantly Asian button .....
lmfao
Is it normal for the cel to flash on when startup then turn off?
Lsvtec pulls on b20v all day
more tuning tips!!!
Sell your honda and buy a real car ........then tune your new cars stereo to your favorite station and enjoy it being faster than your rice car .......your welcome
Nobuddy Cares what kind of car do you have I had a chevy truck that no one was touching now I have a Honda and it's a whole different world with power v money and if you were a real "car enthusiast " you would respect all cars for what they are
What is IAB ?
Victor Pla intake air bypass
Victor Pla it's the multiple butterfly throttlebody si side the gsr intake manifold
Victor Pla the gsr manifold has two sets of intake runners, bottom runners being blocked by throttle plates ( aka secondary butterflies). the reason for this is to utilize as much torque and hp at lower rpm when the engine is running on the secondary cam lobes. for the gsr, the vtec will operate the higher lift lobes at 4400 rpm until redline. you won't notice the "vtec crack" during the engagement because it's not receiving as much air as it will when it hits 5800 rpm and the iab regulator opens the "butterfly plates". this is when you will notice the infamous "vtec crack". and no, vtec on the gsr engine does not kick in twice. I hear this all the time and it cracks me up.
Eric Hughes h22s have the same iabs
Fuck me u learn something everyday
Have the 2000 b20b ..is it safe to slap type r head ? .. In the long run ..as daily
Either or type r or gsr is fine
What kind of gas milage do you get on it
xecron chris Harris is a good tuner
I got a 05 civic d17a vtec I want to swap a b20 vtec in. What would I need other than the engine some info would be appreciated. Thanks
you probably have already but, sell it and buy any older gen civic. I don’t think anyone makes mounts for b series in a 7th gen
Does the b16 manifold still use iab?
Can you use the Crome program with an Ls motor?
gmtz06 yep !
Honda Street Garage I have a 98 EX Civic , D16y8, that's automatic, can I chip tune it with a p28?
Honda Street Garage my sir2 keep going into limp mode when it wants i bought a new distributor. and still does it when it wants being that you got a sir motor what do you think it could be?
Stock LS/B20 rod bolts are sketchy after 8000rpm. The rods themselves, even with ARP bolts, are sketchy after 8800rpm.
That said my limiter is 9100 in my stock rod, ARP bolt, B20VTEC.
my sir2 goes into limp mode when it wants to what can that be?
ricky muniz my penis goes into limp mode sometimes
I feel sorry for your girl
could be leaning out cant tell with such little info. maybe low compression do a compression test.
it does it when running low rpm in third it started after i put a new ckutch
