new to this site and too hondas well been workin on them for a few years, but anyway, i love biulding smallblock chevys so i thought of giving these small honda a try, and seems to be workin out pretty good, not listing alot of tips i have up my sleeves, but willing to give alot of tips and pointers that people dpnt realize in engine biulding, but anyway, im biulding a b20b4, calling it the B20SB, stock head, cams, intake manifold, stock block, motor has been rebiult with custom pston 12.0:1 compression, and a few tips within the block to decrease friction as much, you can turn the assembled short block with you hand, anyway in a 2700lbs acura integra 90' with alot of traction problems after the 60ft it runs 8.9s', lookin to improve looking for all the support from ppl on the site that loves racing and these nonvtec engine and what they can really be made of, will keep you all updated on the improvements

what kind of injectors/cc are you running? With that high cr, you might be maxing out the stock injectors. You can even be running lean. If you had traction problem try usng drag radial or slicks. Try using a traction control bar.

exactly, what CC injectors are you running? what are you tuning with?

im running 450cc injectors, and i made my own custom fuel pressure regulator, well i biuld my own race engines and im about to start a business biulding others for friends and yadda yadda, well everything else on the motor is stock - head, cams, intake, tb, ecu. everything but the custom pistons, most of the power comes from the block assembly, im into biulding efficient engine to increase power, anywho i put in a FX500 system from clutch masters and fidanza flywheel, and i had to make a new header b/c the other was cracked really bad, and kinda hurt the motor, and with the traction problems i understand the use of radials and slicks but im a driver thats just me, the new clutch anf flywheel the car performance seems to be in the mid 13 sec range and to note that this is still pretty much a stock motor besides the custom pistons, i'll put a few pics up if i can find any, i got one of the car and the inside of the block

oh im not tunind with anything, stock ecu stock cam gears, im mostly finding my power inside the engine block , strength, rigity, decreasing friction ( bearings, filed piston rings ect). decreasing windage, can make a lil more power but the gains i have on torque is great, never had the car on a dyno, i plan to one day but its not important to me, as long as the car get down the track as quick as possible thats the goal, track times not dyno numbers, goal for my next few passes are 8.5's @ 82mph and mid 13's in the 1/4 on street tires

soon will i port the head, custom cams, better header design, intake manifold and drag radials, and two stages of nitrous

this is the car and the motor with a few more parts, i added the clutch masters fx500 and fidanza flywheel and i made a custom timing belt tensioner

and this is the block with a detergent wash i do to keep oil from off the crank, connecting rods, and block and decrease widage by a lil but the more oil you keep off the crank shaft the more free power you're able to make, the block and journals keep a mirror like shine, i also had polymer coated steel backing main bearings and tri-metal rod bearings with arp rod bolts, and a factory trust bearings that i have modified and coated, also the rings have been filed to the honed cyl bore for further friction losses, the block also has been half filled with a block filler to add extra strength and cooling to the bottom area of the stock sleeves, next i will add a block girdle, and block gaurd, i plan to make a new custom set of pistons and rods to change the rod/stroke ratio and work to reshape my combustion chamber with flat-top pistons

this guy is a bullshit artist there is no way u will run that motor with out tuning it ..and the stock b20 sleeves are weak to be running that high of compression anyway b20 blocks are weak....stop bull shitting .... please ......you are a assembler not a engine builder and your engine bay looks like shit bro ..... stop and get the block sleeved from benson sleeves

what compression are you running, you never mention it.

Custom 12:1

what are u fussin about, i have piston made for 12.0:1 compression but with a 0.043 think head gasket its like 11.4, anyway , no the car is'nt tuned, im stating the performance it does w/o being tuned, the car runs high to mid 13's and has'nt been tuned, i was plan on having phantasm in raliegh nc to tune the car but of course it would be faster tuned or quicker with drag radials or slicks, i want to biuld a street tire car for the time being and see how quick i can go untuned, if any oppose oh well, i got my plans and opinions, i spend my time and money how i want, if i get it done i do if i dont i dont

Chill out buddy. Most people call bsing if they don't believe. I'm not putting no one down or you. Some people want proof in order for them to believe. Post some time slips and when you get your car tune post the dyno numbers too.

oh naw im not going to argue with anyone over the internet, just stating what i got done to my car and what it runs, i found a few time slips but its before i put the clutch and all that other junk in, like some 9.0's and 8.9 in the 1/8, im ready to get the new set up to the track and see how it does

well if you help finding some parts let me know.

well i could use a block girdle from a vtec block, most the other parts r gonna be custom made or i'll make some

you want oem block girdle, so you can machine it to work. I do have a gsr one if your intrested. Why not buy a z10, or golden eagle one girdle, where all you have do is machine the dowel pin location on the main caps.

well thats whats up, yeah i can machine it, but imma have to wait, little tight on money, im tryin to find a biulding so i can work in, if u have like a myspace u could get up with me on there, my screen name is "the beast from the east", (dave andeson) if u need my name, anyway gotta get my car rewired, battery touch the hood and shorted something out, but i'll figure it out when i put some time into it

well i don't have a myspace anymore, due to my girl keep on canceling my account.

well thats kool, im thinkin of puttin my motor in a 4dr, i think that would be a bad sleeper, im really thinkin of doin the impossible, but i gotta keep my game right and not worry about what other ppl think and fall into what everyone else is doing

yea 4 dr. would be sweet
