- Mon May 10, 2010 12:48 pm #192834 most people go with the b16 head because of the factory single plane intake manifold, and the stock manifold actually flow great... but the typeR helps :thumb: personally i dont feel there is alot of difference between the gsr of b16 head in performance when it comes down to it...

- Wed May 12, 2010 3:00 am #193295 I would recommend not going for a B20vtec. You can make a B20 vtec reliable. However it will take a lot of money. Money that could be used to put in bigger cams in your stock B20 head and/or Turbo or Supercharge the B20.

Even in stock trim, a B20 matched to a short geared B16 transmission Hauls. I had this swap in my EK hatch until someone ran a stop sign and cut its life short. I will soon be swapping it over to my new Delsol. I have no plans to make my B20 vtec becouse I simply have no need for VTEC. 100% Pure Stock 99spec jdm b20b(USDM b20z) matched to my b16 transmission easily took a "Built" GSR Swap(gsr tranny, itr cams, port/polish) in a lighter EG hatch.

A B20 with basic I/h/e and a B16 transmission has the torque to push you back into your seats, Something you rarely feal in a Honda. Plus if you stay non-vtec you can run cheaper 87 octane fuel.

he has a very good point... i had my usdm b20b 97 spec in my eg with my 2000si trans and it hauled... it was peppy and did pull hard, it even barked 4th with a stock clutch :lol:
