Pros:
B20 has longer stroke, bigger bore. . .hence more displacement. Like getting a stroker kit.
Block is extremely inexpensive.
Easy way to get power and torque. Though its a bit involved if you want to do it right.

Cons:
Sleeves are thin, and are likely to crack under very high pressure, ie. high rev, nitrous, turbo, too high CR.
Not able to rev as high as a C5 or C1 block in stock form.

I am sure there are some more but those are essentially the ones IMO.

Fucking sex!

But is a Block guard gonna be enough for even 8000 rpm @ 11.5? I knwo you were saying you'd only be going there for track days. I have been looking into doing the same but sleeving the block instead.

Actually I have seen people on higher CR without a block guard. I won't be at 11.5 just yet; that will be after head work, this is going to be about 11.1. If you have the money to sleeve the block, by all means do it. I didn't have it. . .and now I am crunching cause school starts next Monday and I didn't know; thought it was the following week.

I am now waiting on the Endyn kit, which I want to get before I drop the motor back in cause I hear installation is a bitch with the motor in the car. And should be getting a Today flywheel tomorrow.

Thanks. . .I'll probably get the manifold when its time for the head. Right now I am having some issues. Went to get the oil pan and pick up from the shop to find that the pickup wasn't there. Tried the GSR but it was too short and can't find an LS in time so I might just have to go to the dealer tomorrow. Boy somn would have to happen, can't just go smooth at all.

Yeah, possibly ~187whp and ~150wtq or so. I am not really very big on dyno numbers still. . .I am more interested in seeing what improvements I have made since my last 15.2s B16 run.

Ok I have a situation; went to put the head on today. . .didn't pull it off before. Noticed 4 bent valves, two intake and two exhaust. So now I am on the market for valves, just need to replace these ones. So if there is anyone who would like to sell/offer me their used B16 valves, let me know. . .I want some like yesterday. School starts tomorrow and it now seems I won't have my car not even for this week.

Bro, I've got a complete set of my b16 valves cuz i got omni's. U seem cool so just pay for shipping + $10 for my time spent & shipping materials & I'll send u all of them. This is a sweet project u got so I'd like to help u get it finished.
They will be coming from CA though so probably not the quickest shipping, but if u can't find anything else just let me know.

More issues with the head; although I was thinking this would happen. So I took out the bent valves yesterday (don't have pics right now), and found the valve guides looking like this. . .


on the intake side, the exhaust ones are damaged also but the intake took a beating. Intake valvles were bent worse than the exhaust ones also.

It happened because and when the engine actually blew, rod snapped so piston loose, hit valves causing them to bend and when they did, they were forced against the walls of the valve guide causing them in turn to crack/break. When the engine blew, I was at about 6k rpm in 3rd so I imagine quite a bit of compression. So I don't think it was crack while the car was running per say; I presume it all happened in a single moment. After the hydrolock though, it wasn't running quite as strong, but it was ok for the while. I never thought this build would get so involved. . .so it will be back to the machine shop for new guides.

Ooh yeah; I was planning on doing the B20 anyway but not at this point. The engine going just pushed me to do it even quicker. Thats why I am trying to have it done right cause I have no other car but this one.

The motor is ~finished now but it runs like crap, starts with no problems and idles really nice ~650rpm. I think the crappy running is due to the fact I am using the stock Si ECU and injectors. . . it seems this motor wants a lot more fuel so tomorrow I am going to try a GSR ECU and see if that helps, cause the way it runs is just crazy. I feel a little torque from start and then above 2000rpm, it seems like the power just dying. Haven't taken it pass 4000rpm so I don't know what the top-end feels like but right now it needs some work.

Also there is oil leak at the oil pressure switch which needs attention ASAP. I am going to try and remedy that problem and also adjust the valves to see if that helps. I will post some pics later on; I also have a short digicam video of first startup.

sweet! be easy on it & get it tuned asap. its probably running lean as hell, which obviously could be very dangerous.
get hondata, crome... if u dont already & take it to be tuned, for now I'd have them do part throttle tuning to clean up the a/f ratio. Then drive it around to break it in. Then go back for some full tuning.

I do have the S200 and a chipped P28 but I don't have the conversion harness yet, I was going to break it in with whatever stock ECU will work well and then get it tuned after. It is said that the GSR P72 could be used, even though the motor still requires more fuel than a GSR. And yeah, I am oh so easy on it. . .2000rpm then shift.
