#308217 as a reference...my head is basically same as urs.. B16A with adjustable cam gears and JDM B18C-R cams...bottom is a stock B20B.

pushes out 185whp on a dynojet...with about 18.xx kg/mm of torque.

others include S2 IM.. 70mm TB..SRI with HKS SPF...2.5" exhaust etc. tuned with a chipped ecu and VAFC

i dont think its bored, i think he's implying hes using an 89mm crank like an LS or B20 crank.

Why are yall using adjustable cam gears on stock cams?

#308270 mine came with the car when i bought it...im keeping it coz im planning on Toda C2

but yeah....a reputable tuner also advised to go back to stock cam gears if using stock cams.

i think the deck height is smaller on the b16 blocks so the only way you can run a b20 crank is if he has shorter rods. and the ls rods are too long for b16 block with b20 crank.


b20 block with a vtec head on the other hand would work. or ls/b20 crank and rods in a b18c block works.

#308337 bigpunn is correct, you cant use a LS/B20 ran in a B16A(1-1000000000) block.

OP - do you have any idea what you really have?

#308421 Its a B16b block With b20 crankshaft and connecting rod and p30 pistons btw i changed my head, IM, fuel rail to B16b with B18 typer cams and adjustable cam gears
By bigpunn421
#308423 wow i just read that the b16b block deck height is the same as the b18c. its the only b16 with the same deck height.


so i guess it does work and it would be a monster. people make over 200whp on nice setups with cams. but i bet the torque is nice too

yeah its the same....B16B and B18C uses the same exact block... wats different is the internals of the block.
