#338660 Im on B16B on Y21 tranny w/ LSD and i feel im a gay on this.. :( sorry about that i know B16 is one of a great engine,but my adrenaline needs more,more more and more power.
Now i need to know which direction should i go.

*B18c5 whole engine from front cut.
*B18c5 + B16b 97spec type r head
*B20b + B16b 97spec type r head

I only know B20b has a lot of torque,but i dont know if it has a lot of things to do compare to B18 swap. Or might B18 is much faster. All i just wanted for my car would be the last full upgrade i could put on her, instead of doing K-swap.


PS. Can i use my Y21 tranny if i go B20B?

#338661 Any of those options really isn't that big of an upgrade compared to the cost. You're better off saving for that K series that you want, or doing some type of forced induction on the b16b. Just my opinion.

Edit: And yes you can use that transmission on a b20

#338732 How much hp can i get w/ jackson supercharger? Do you think this could beat my friends b20b + b18 type r head w/ 85mm arias piston,eagle connecting rods,skunk2 camshaft.

You would have to look up dyne numbers i don’t have any off the top of my head. But it should make things interesting.

#338804 Should easily beat that. I made 282/204tq on a stock b16 @ 11.2psi. I would figure a b16b would easily make 300+ with my setup on e-85
