cross this side b20vtec is not that famous
its only starting now compared to you guys in the

its a daily drive so not that extreme
compared to the setups i on this forum

b20b underblock arp rod bolts
b16 head
b16 tranny
4-1 jdm 2''5 aftermarket headers
2''5 catback
aem cold air intake

compared to an b16 stock

#265978 anywhere between 160-200. Each application and build is different, parts brands, the tuner, the tune, etc... so it is hard to pinpoint any actual number.

I dont think he will, especially if he's using stock b20b pistons (8.8:1 or even 9.2:1

For a stock cam, I'd run a GSR cam over the B16's. If I remember right, they offer more duration (stay open longer) but not a lot more lift.

#266058 If i were you i would get a GSR head. Yields more compression so it ups the numbers a little on the hp/tq. Get aftermarket rods unless you want to shift early because b20 rods were not made to hit 8k and above. I would say you would get 170whp-175whp. Which compared to a b16 is like 130whp. Plus Vtec cracks like a motherfucker in a B20v.

...Or just replace the rod bolts w/ARP's. Never heard of a broken rod in a B20, heard of stretched rod bolts though.

#266081 rod bolts would be change for arp

#266093 Why wouldn't you just invest in rods? Personally i would build it on the safe side. If you want to buy rod bolts you might as well dish out a few more bills for rods. Better yet throw in 12.5:1 pistons and you will see the 190whp-195whp range. :thumb:

Stock rods can handle a lil more abuse than you think they can. As long as the bolts are up to snuff that is.

If you're goin for big power, then sure. Get rods. If you're not, then stocks will do just fine.
