Oh thank you man! I try to share tidbits everytime and it may seem in scattering the tidbits all around the videos so they all would watch? Kinda not intentional as engine projects vary and there are some that isn’t related While there are a few that becomes the perfect examples So it is as fun for me while I shoot the videos man :)
Cylinder bore is actually decent, just looked kinda rough after we cleaned it so it was free of oil and such and Ofcourse had to quickly spray wd40 to prevent flash rust It always looks rough after having it cleaned (the old oil always makes it look “okay” ) That’s what makes it hard purchasing used blocks cuz if u pull the head? It “looks” alright until… lol But yes IF honed? Nothing beats that ftw
Hi from uk im trying to find pistons to suit b20z with gsr head but really want no higher than 11.5.1 compression im using itr cams this why i change pistons as i understand intererance on valve reliefs Spent the last few weeks hunting for parts but very hard to find anything that dosnt exceed 12.5.1
@@SRDmotorsports Thanks Ralph! Do you know if the pockets are deeper on the YCPs? I'm concerned about the piston-to-valve clearance on a B16A with Tuner 2s.
Ah if it’s b16a 81mm then it’s not related to how b20 pistons are regardless of brand But the 81 is prolly close to CTR so that might be fine after checking clearances
Oh nice that will be a bigger “beast” 😅 No trouble with the GSR head check this video of ours for the things u need to do to your gsr head so it is ready for a b20vtec conversion application Feel free to ask anything on it man ua-cam.com/video/8ERcLeY56Zo/v-deo.html
No not yet but that would be substantially good on the mid range and torque with a bit of top end That’s what I suggest the owners After they max out the CTR cam and eventually beat their currrent 13.5sec time, Pro1 is my next suggestion
Ive build 2018 a B20 Block with Nippon 84.5mm CTR Pistons, with skunk2 pro 2 cams and it made with pump gas and small exhaust 243hp. With bigger exhaust and no catalytic converter it made over 255hp..engine runs till today without problems.
Love me some b20 vtec builds, my personal favorites , also why H beam and not I beam rods? I know H beam is stronger for boosted applications but heavier, I beam is very strong as well but lighter, I see I beams more fit for an all motor street/track applications
@@StraightOutThaGudda4U hurts my wallet if it was mine hahaha kidding hahah….I’d be tempted to find a t3/t4 just so the rods are at the right place hahaha
more than that, whatever the stock bore is as long as it’s perfectly round and honed that’s good I see a lot of nonesense locally where they run oversized rings and file it to fit not understanding the whole ring consistency to bore is no longer perfectly round… plus they also added % more added windage loss
Even Jaspers b20vtec on 1Up cuz it’s stock bore we made sure the bore is “true” and round and not oval, has 0.0025” piston to wall.. thats 0.06mm since 2018 it’s been running 12.5s and a street car, the full set up is on the video it’s shared I know some did the exact same set up and made 214whp only and 13.3sec 🤣 must of wanted it the way of the local myth builders
What you mean crankshaft area? Can u identify a “time” marker so we can check? If it’s under the block the brown color is the block having the old oil bed into it (previous owner used old oil too long lol) But it’s cleaned up good
@@SRDmotorsports at 7:12 like the walls looks rusty, or its the old oil. Btw will you make a vid explaining in depth about head porting diy? Like throat ratios and all that Thx!
@@hox2596 yeah 7:12 is old oil that’s cooked it’s not rust cuz it’s aluminum… That video might be too long and too hard to make cuz it’s too “generalized” to do so.. example if on. PR3 head the “bowl” oft times does not need to go too big = it’s already big So in general the throat is more important here But on a D16 the bowl may be a different story…then if we switch it to another brand like Toyota or Volvo (factor in displacement and piston speed) it goes a little bit different again
hello srd! fan of your videos, do these rods clear oem style b20 pistons well?? (thinking of the ycp p73 style 84mm pistons) the SF website says rods won't clear oem pistons but was thinking that might be a smaller bore b18 problem with this connecting rod. thanks for awesome build video
@@SRDmotorsports so that block guard is reliable in the engine? the cylinders will last? on stock block without dartons that walls are safe for how much power in your exeprience ? rev 8100? max?
we build now third time b20.. 13 compresion b16 pilished ported head camcats cams block is honded on 85mm with block guard.. need to dyno it and tune.. but like we now its very risky to rev it up now without dartons and block girdle.. 😅
@@josephzaja9210 watch the latest video the b20 rebuild hehe running since 2018 also but now bent valve but block is still okay… Btw what are you guys using to tune with?
Actually…as u mentioned it, we never ran a block guard on Hondas I mean the darton MiD sleeves have it built in so it’s fine But Honda’s floating system (not closed deck) has proven to be awesome so we don’t usually run a block guard (The 12.5s we did doesn’t use it) However this block? They built this prior to going to us so we left it as is (they had it all along)
Good day sir, i think i've heard you say you're using a want win adjustable cam gear in one of your build, can you please help me be enlighten? I am also using a want win adjustable cam gear on a sohc engine but upon setting the cam on tdc using the stock cam gear and putting the want win they wont line up perfectly, to be perfectly tdc like the stock cam gear i need to retard the want win a few degree, is this normal?
Yes first of all good Job man! I think want win has two kinds but unlabeled it could be y series (vti) or z series (p08) I say this because my want win seems “normal” for my esi engine on esi head which is set like a p08 But a customer has it and it’s off by 4degrees and to find out? U use ur stock camgear and match the “kunya” to where stock is and that is your ZERO So yeah u can either retard or advance a few deg to match the zero of ur stock camgear
@@SRDmotorsports thank you very much for your fast response, it seems that the want wins tdc mark is advance a little further compared to the stock gear🙂

Ah if it’s a 81mm bore then it’s diff than the b20
It’s prolly close to CTR which would be fine
Hi from uk im trying to find pistons to suit b20z with gsr head but really want no higher than 11.5.1 compression im using itr cams this why i change pistons as i understand intererance on valve reliefs

And extremely grateful for all your knowledge you share
@@jap_adz the YCP gen1 should be low enough that’s around 12.3:1 almost
What is the difference between the YCP Gen3 (and how to identify them) and Nippon Racing CTR pistons?
I believe the NPR pistons don’t have the pockets looking like it’s machined after casting
The difference? Little to none compression wise
@@SRDmotorsports Thanks Ralph! Do you know if the pockets are deeper on the YCPs? I'm concerned about the piston-to-valve clearance on a B16A with Tuner 2s.

Did the customer ever dyno the car? What did it make before and after?
No not yet actually the block is still here cuz customer keeps improving plans hehe
Have you ever did a b20v build with those same 13.5 pistons and skunk2 pro1 cams?

That’s what I suggest the owners

how much for the piston to wall clearance bro using nippon racing?@@EJ2BSeries

0.04-0.05mm sir?
