JACKskins Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 (edited) so im deifinitely a noob. but im kinda gettin the hang of this. about to buy a 96 civic hx shell. its just missin the engine and the guy blew his out twice, and got a 350z so hes deciding to get rid of his civic. i just need advice on if this sounds like a good idea. Im thinkin a B20 block from a crv and Vtec 1.8L head and ECU along with a 10p.s.i. turbo kit. just want some advice, get some input from some people who have some knowledge on this Edited January 11, 2008 by JACKskins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
90IntegraC1 Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 *VTEC -That block can't handle that much boost on stock internals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cranny Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 its debateable. put rod bolts in it at least dude , lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdmEGhatch Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 i dont know about that block but i have plenty of friends that are running 9 pounds daily driven, oh d series blocks, including myself. so i would immagine a b series would be able to also. *VTEC -That block can't handle that much boost on stock internals.

90IntegraC1 Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 yes but 1.6L cylinder walls are thicker than 2.0L cylinder walls, therefore stronger. Sleeve it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdmEGhatch Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 See as I said I wasn't sure of the 2.0 and now I do. yes but 1.6L cylinder walls are thicker than 2.0L cylinder walls, therefore stronger. Sleeve it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cranny Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 (edited) sleeving is for high power engines. you dont need to sleeve a DD street car. and to think that a B series engine can handle it just cause a D can from your experience is foolish. they are nothing alike. the D series bottoms are all girdled for one thing , non vtec B18's are not.

CleanGSR Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Quit acting like you know everything cranny. I mean.....we know that you do in-fact know everything....but just quit acting like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lceah Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 go with a bit less?...like 6-8 psi on stock internals...and make sure to get a bov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solmeistro Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 dude if you're serious just get the b20 block and sleeve it, then you can run 7 p.s.i daily and crank it up as much as you want for races. the b16 is my least favorite motor to tell you the thruth...make sure you have a wiring harness and transmission bolts right in (if he had a sohc before) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cranny Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Quit acting like you know everything cranny. I mean.....we know that you do in-fact know everything....but just quit acting like it my bad i guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midnight civic Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 I wouldn't run too high of boost on stock internals on a DD. Also a BOV works good, but alot for the sake of sould. I think a Re Circ. valve would work better for you... Plus it's less annoying if it's a DD, it will get old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
