turbo b20 swap with questions

ASSISTANCE Forced Induction
1

my story, well i’ll give u guys the simple version… i been going though b18’s like chicks during spring break (my guess is the junkyard swaps) either way not really a big deal

SO I’M GOING TO CHANGE A FEW THINGS AND I WANTED YOUR GUYS INPUT

  1. I’M GOING BACK TO A FULL RAD…THE CIVIC RAD HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS DURING THE SUMMER…THE COOL WON’T SAY COOL…BEEN TURBO FOR ALMOST 3 YRS NOW SO IT’S THE RAD…

  2. THIS IS THE MORE IMPORTANT ONE…I DON’T DRIVE MY CAR ON A DAILY BASIS( ONCE A WEEK WHEN IT’S NICE AND IN THE WINTER IT MAY SIT FOR A MONTH)… SO I REALLY DON’T NEED A FULL BUILD BUT WHAT WOULD U GUYS SUGGEST OTHER THAN THE USUAL GASKET AND STUDS.

THE ODDS OF ME RUNNING ON THE DRAG ARE VERY SMALL… THE MOST I WILL DO IS HIGHWAY DRIVING WITH SOME HARD PULLS, SO AGRESSIVE STREET DRIVING TO UM IT UP…

I’M NOT SURE IF A B20Z WILL DO…I HEARD SOMETHING ABOUT WEAK SLEEVES…NOT SURE IF IT’S THAT ONE…

ANYWAY SUGGEST A WAY GUYS

I suggest turning caps off as a start :slight_smile:

The b20’s sleeves are thinner but not much to worry about, Iam on the " its all about the tuning " bandwagon now as I have experienced a bad tune in the past and it costed me my motor.

I have a b20b turbo, runs strong.

ok , i’m not goin to boost the hell out of it…i i’m just not impressed with the b18’s anymore, could have alot to do with my org install…but whatever

yea i’m going to drop the jdm b20 in and finish off this project…3 yrs too long
