Ksol Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Rocco is trying to convince me to go B-20 and build the shiot out of it as well. That's not a bad suggestion. It's a fairly cheap motor, it's only downfall is it doesn't have v-tec but if you built it, I'm sure that wouldn't matter. You could bore out a B18C1 to 2.0 liters and have the best of both worlds.

If I go B-20 it will most likely be a turbo build, so not too worried about Vtec! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ksol Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 If I go B-20 it will most likely be a turbo build, so not too worried about Vtec! Is the compression ratio on a B20 good for boost or do you intend on changing that with the internals? Any time line for this full build? two years maybe? You definitely should have upgraded to the PasswordJdm strut bad for the extra $30 or so dollars. I looked up what it was worth these days after talking to you the other day.

I looked up what it was worth these days after talking to you the other day. I like what I got. Besides I am getting as good of deals as I can so I can do budget build, and get everything done at once. B20 build will be complete rebuild, or any motor I do for that matter.

Ben. Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 B20 cylinder walls are sooooo thin. You could always sleeve it but.. still there's always that risk. They do rock some low compression from the factory though. And you can retain A/C as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelnguyen Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Hey im liking it, wish you luck on the build! btw what ever happened to your first sol? could you tell me what kind of engine is in your samba? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same engine in all 3 Sol's. D16Z6 SOHC vtec. Sold first Samba Sol for $6500 because we needed to pay off a couple bills, and put a tranny in wife's Toreass!

SpeedDemon Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 yeah a b20 is no bueno. like ben said, the cylinder walls are too thing. you could always to a stroker h22 or a small h22turbo at 8psi. but if you want to retain ac....b16? gsr? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben. Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 You can keep the A/C with any b-series setup in a del sol unless you've got an FUBAR turbo manifold or something is in the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpearce1974 Posted June 14, 2010 Author Share Posted June 14, 2010 I am miles away from any kind of swap, and believe me a lot of research will be done. I was already discounting the B-20 because O prefer not to have to sleeve the block. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTiS Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 i wouldent go with the pwjdm strut bars. imho they are overpriced cheaply made replicas. you can buy the real part usually cheaper. pearce why not try a k20??? im becoming fond of the kseries motors. they can handle like 41psi of boost on stock internals i think. could be wrong so if i am someone correct me. got your wheels yet?
