B16A???????

[SX-MAN]

i had a b20b in my teg and it took a dump. i was going to use my block and go B20vtec but i was wondering

Would it be worth it to bore the B16 and use the B20 pistons?

Ok im ordering a b16 to go b20vtec...my crank is scarred...so what kind of crank should i get to use the b20 rods w/ the b16 pistons but feel comfy revn to 8+

not really because you would have to resleeve that b16 block$$$$$$$$$

everyone says you need to re-sleeve...WHY?

[SouthSide Tay]

stock sleeves are weak and if you bore them you are increasing your chances for failure

the sleeves are too thin to overbore to a b20 spec.

I dont even think they make OEM oversized 84mm B16 pistons that crazy!

OEM B16- 81mm bore
OEM B20-84mm bore

U can put the B16 pistons in the B20 block if your goal is to make 0 whp and piston slap yo ass than it can be done!! JK dont do that

Are u tryin to go High comp. all-motor, if so no OEM B20 piston can help u there cuz i beleive theres only 2 types 8.8/9.6:1 comp, gotta go aftermarket if u want, lets say 10+ comp...

And why buy a whole B16 if u can just buy the parts u need to make an B20/VTEC( head, headgasket, lines etc. your gonna be spending to much useless money if u buy a whole B16 than part it out take the money that u could've save and put it towards a good tune afterwards

LS/B20 crank should be the same, they share the 89mm stroke and rods are basically the same

Maybe the amount to fix your B20 was more than gettin a LS block??
This would be much cheaper for u in my opinion, so than now u can use many different OEM pistons with the standard bore size(81mm or OS)

And if u dont have the money to do any of this, dont even try to go halfway and add more stuff later cuz you'll be wasting your $$ when it blows!! Do it the right way man or your gonna have to do it again.

just my

Well my teg is my dd i was going to buy the b16 and put it in to get around..while i build the b20...but the b20 crank was grooved so i need a crank...i was just wondering what i could use... im using b16 pistons idk if its going to be the ones in the motor or new with the ls rods..

im planning on using everything i allready have, i just need a crank and was wondering what would work with the ls rods

o and forgot... the b20 was run HOT... i mean the exhaust mani was glowing and i could have lit a cig. of off it. so i need new everything... i was just gona by a b16, one to see what the diff is between the 2. and i could just use all the parts and make a b20vtec motor......

Lol. People usually do b20b blocks with b16a or b18c heads if your going the b20/vtec route. It would be retarded to put b16 pistons(81mm bore) in a b20b block(84mm bore). Just build the block b20b... forged pistrons(84mm bore) and forged rods(Ls/B20b spec)...etc$$$. You may want to resleeve the b20b block if you plan on putting alot of power through it. What do you want out of the motor, boost or N/A? You really need to do ALOT of research.
