B20 VTEC TUNE AND DRIVE! HSG EP. 5-6

[@ksisjdm]

Brings me back to my B series days. good stuff

[@Irishcream216]

I live in darlington SC man and you've changed my perspective on Hondas and imports in general. keep up the good work!

[@mattoy123]

Total respect for your tuning skills,that vtec grunt reminds me of my s2000 days :)

[@dreamer2355]

It would have been nice to share your tuning experiences with us with what you adjusted on the maps.

[@ryan_riffs]

Cool vid Mark! Good info here. Thanks for taking the opportunity to settle some of the B.S. Sounds and appears to be running pretty damn good!

[@802Garage]

Was actually really cool to see you go through this process, even not that detailed. Thanks!

[@jahern0595]

I'll be doing the same to my 98 RS. Only difference is to have upgraded intake, exhaust, and cams. Pretty awesome for a everyday commuter and never hurts to a have some punch at the same time.

[@C_M_G]

I love my fully built B20v! nice gsr Confetti's btw 🙌

[@fernandoortiz-torres2151]

I see a type r cluster!! Lol... If possible you should make a tutorial in more detail on how to use Chrome and the chip burner!! Lol if possible

[@Brock_Landers]

Fernando Ortiz-Torres That's just a GSR cluster, isn't it?

[@Brock_Landers]

Type-R and GSR are the same in the US, correct?

[@Phar2Rekliss]

Fernando Ortiz-Torres USDM Type R Cluster goes to 10,000rpm and redline is set at 8,500rpm with a noticeable red color change for the red zone! also has carbon fiber facing around the gauges. That is A GSR Cluster!

[@Phar2Rekliss]

Boosted B Series EK they are not the same.

[@UndergroundTrev]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the B16 was a different animal not because of the displacement, but because of the shorter stroke.

[@joedoole3527]

You are right and wrong. A GSR and B16 do have different displacement, 1.6 vs 1.8 liters. They do however have the same Bore But different length rods and a different block deck height. They are both 81mm Bore though, and the B20 that he used in this build was bigger still at 84mm Bore sharing the same 89mm crank as the LS B18a/b.

[@ClumsyCars]

What are you going on about? You said he was wrong and then said the same thing he did, just the long way.. lmao

[@medicationsalutation]

shorter stroke gives less displacement, so he was right all along.

[@MrJuice105]

Your right a stock b16 with a tune can spin up 2 10k rpm easily and handle it because of the shorter stroke.

[@21Kamil12]

Sorta, might get some valve float on a stock b16a. The rod/stroke ratio on a b16a vs a b16b is limiting at those rpms too. The 16b having a longer block, and a r/s ratio of something like 1.8, would take 10k easy

[@randyej2pr]

I was going to do a k swap on my ej2 but damn now i wanna do a b20v for sure.

[@MoveMint.est85]

Randy Illanas better in my opinion and works for a budget build... k series at this point is everyone and there grandma is doing it be with Honda’s or other vehicle types... over rated and just to say I have a k... b will never get old nor cost nearly as much to build and to consistently drive.

[@GrayItalo]

Good stuff fam. Gotta love Crome! Motor sounds fantastic - looking fwd to the paint stage as well.

[@nobuddycares4]

Lol

[@jarheadss9253]

R u British

[@zackzittel7683]

What exhaust is that!? It’s sooo quiet at 4-5k rpms. My k24 sounds like a nitro breathing dragon past 3k.... I literally have to drive around town in 6th gear to avoid the unwanted attention. Stock Si manifold, a resonator and ktuned muffler. I’m debating trying to squeeze a second resonator in there....

[@FeaturedGarage]

Enjoyed the video, homie. The B20V has certainly been on my mind for a while. I'd be curious to see what your power curve looks like.

[@Brock_Landers]

It definitely pulls nicely. Sounds great at VTEC crossover.

[@GarretTheEnduroRider]

Those stock rod bolts maybe fine for a DD/ Drag set-up for a while. Try road racing that build and you'll have some major problems;)

[@Theguitarskater1]

Nice one, I have a b20 vtec too, ek4 hatch swapped. Have the new cams in doing about 240hp stock fuel pump!

[@josemoreno708]

Theguitarskater1 what mods

[@krystleroy3068]

Very smooth sounding sounds better than my new car

[@Wyzral4vid]

Hi , it has a clip or bridge for the crankshaft?

[@juansolo1617]

Need some ITB's on the B20VTEC for better top end power. Plenum is for midrange and the B20 hits hard top ends.

[@gilbertsantiago2921]

Hey thanks for all your tips bro!! I’m recently have a b20z I’m catching your tips

[@ricardocarrasquillo471]

ya guys are awesome I wish we had mechanics like ya around here I love civics I got one my self just wit a single cam vtec motor..

[@joshuaarango2142]

Am I gonna notice a significant gain from a chipped b20 to a b20v?

[@thathondadude5974]

Where you go the iab parts for the ecu

[@OfficialYounginwell]

I bet that torque feels amazing.

[@MonstarSceneDee]

do you have to machine the head?

[@lostoutlaw7678]

I love your videos bro...am learning alot from it.

[@donnymuth7044]

Hey man respects on the b20v. You should put that thing on the Dyno for some baseline numbers. That should be a sweet video. Keep doing you're thing!

[@thethis1398]

Donny Muth y do y respect the b20?

[@donnymuth7044]

I'm implying that I'm give him respects on his b20v build.

[@ej1756]

Stepping your game up 🙌

[@Mrpyro187]

Hey guys, I have stupid question. Maybe you can answer it for me. If I build a B20vtec would I be able to stick it back into my CR-V as is or do I need to buy extra stuff for it to work. I just want my CR-V to be more peppy.

[@nathanmcdairmant9318]

If you’re running a B16A would you leave the AIB alone or would you zero it with a GSR map? Running a B20 w/B16A head.

[@dannyb20vtec28]

i love b20v setups..its rare i get pulled on.. nice vid

[@nobuddycares4]

^^^^^^^^^ lol

[@GDP999-z1u]

planning on doing a GSR head swap on my B20 in my CR-V, doing a CR-V build cuz its different tbh

[@5spd5thgen]

that thing pulls hard as shit! not what I was expecting!

[@nobuddycares4]

You could tell a that from the video Hugh ...........so when do you get your license ???

[@samnolte749]

If you look closely, to the right of the tachometer is a speedometer. By carefully monitoring the sweep of the speedometer needle, (e.g. watching it) you can ascertain the increase in speed over time. The higher the rate of speed increase over time, the "harder it pulls". This particular vehicle falls into the "hard as shit" category of "pulling", as evidenced by the aforementioned calculations.

[@christiandevos9280]

That thing is pretty quick dude almost identical to the type r honestly

[@Jaipistons]

Been waiting for that vid . Lol . Very nice!

[@iprycepryce171]

wait does he use the stock internals of the b20 with the gsr head

[@euroimport531]

yeah its not boosted so no worries

[@413rdpupi4]

So you don’t need a vtec oil pump ?

[@antrinh5525]

why did you disable the knock sensor ? i don't know much about tuning and just want to know.

[@intheworkseg6]

so how would you dyno tune a setup like this? If the chip is in the burner and not in the ecu? I have a turbo b16 that is chipped and was dyno tuned but Im confused on how it all works...Thanks

[@CiscoDA9RS]

Do you have plans to put a skunk2 manifold on? If you do make a video!

[@joshuenavarro3336]

Hay I have a question my b20v started but now it doesn’t I have a gsr head gsr stock just a a b20 block does it not start cause I don’t have a catch can

[@hectorpagan3207]

Hi, I made a b20 vtec with pistons 84mm p30 and connecting rods Scat, bearings acl and acl oil pump. I would like to know what camshaft you recommend for daily drive.

[@cheryaj90]

do u guys not need to run emissions test down south? if you did need to would the b20vtec run OK with just a p72 ecu to pass emissions?

[@danteisme]

4400 for vtec and 5600 for the secondaries in the intake manifold is pretty close to stock specs, correct? just curious, i wouldnt expect them to change too much with the stock intake manifold.

[@antonmoisey9865]

Great Videos! What injectors are you running (not sure if you mentioned this before?)

[@mrsemifixit]

What's different in the obd2b? As in why was it used over obd2a in later years

[@ramonquintana5899]

I know these videos are old but I really hope you see this comment. I need help to figure out an issue with my b20v setup. Im running a low comp b20v b16a head with fob dyne tune but im having an issue where I do a pull and sometimes it will rev to 8k like its set up to or sometimes it will only rev to 6.5 k or 7k rpm

[@t1t00z9]

Wussup ..great videos bro...i got a question hope u can reply bak back with some help.. i just bought a b20b low compression..what vtec head can i pur on the b20b block without blowing up

[@TruthBeToldGamer]

I gsr manifold is the truth. The power feels endless

[@g-techindustries5036]

Does the b16 manifold still use iab?

[@josemercado6957]

can you show me on how to work with crome i want to set de idle control on my d16 but i dont now how

[@strawberryhill4307]

So is there a good reason for not having AIB and VTEC not kick in at the same time??

[@joedoole3527]

Cool videos, I've just discovered your channel and watched a few. I'm a die hard Honda fan and have built nearly a dozen over the last decade. One question though, how are you tuning fuel without a wideband? Going off "feel" is not very accurate lol. Street tuning is fine, we do it every day as our little shop doesn't have an in house dyno but how can you have any idea what to do with the tune if you don't monitor AFRs?

[@GrizzlyGarage]

can u give tutorial on how to connect the vtec on non vtec please

[@chrisvigil4492]

Are you burning chips? I really need one done for my car man thanks

[@anthonycintron8441]

trying to boost my b20b but im hearing i shouldnt have got a itr trans with b20b....do you think its worth to try and build the motor and trans for turbo or should i build for na? i kinda wana get into the 4-5 hundred boosted obviously

[@MrMakeitnasty]

Hey HSG I really need to know how to wire my vtec on my b20vtec the car is a 97 Acura integra rs I'm using a p28 obd1 with a jumper harness I'm not sure where to run the wires for vtec I'll really appreciate if you can help me

[@SuperSport01]

Stock LS/B20 rod bolts are sketchy after 8000rpm. The rods themselves, even with ARP bolts, are sketchy after 8800rpm. That said my limiter is 9100 in my stock rod, ARP bolt, B20VTEC.

[@DIYdake]

Nice Vid ! Curious if you needed to Wire in +12V to the IAB's to get them working ? I needed to do that on an OBD2 GSR swap into an EG... thinking yours mights be the same since you went with the ODB1 ECU.... Thanks ! Keep up the good videos !

[@HondaStreetGarage]

DIY yes I did have too!

[@3v4761]

That explains why my P28 was missing out my 94 civic....it runs almost all hondas

[@victoredestira6235]

Can you tell what transmission are you using.??

[@marketingtony2955]

Hey, what would you say the MAX RPM is with a low compression b20b stock with b18 non Vtec head?

[@antrinh5525]

by the way would it do any bad if u set the vtec engagement at lower rpm ,let say 3000rpm or 3500 rpm?

[@Phar2Rekliss]

By the time i finally have the money to do this kinda of fun project building here will be no b20 engines left I could build.

[@db2alex746]

i got a b18a that i got for free and a b17 in my 92 gsr want a little more power should i throw in the b17 head on a b18 or just buy a b20z block or b18vtec turbo? stock block

[@fazzeg3]

great channel, great video, keep the videos and work flowing =)

[@sentree9857]

Is it normal for the cel to flash on when startup then turn off?

[@civic2323]

What kind of gas milage do you get on it

[@rodneyabada]

do what does a b20b low compression redline at

[@josephrc75]

how do you program the map sensor 44 lbs boost?

[@loganmcgrew4139]

If Iabs help with more air for vtec and helps with torque... does anyone know if using a p28 with stock gsr intake mani, when vtec cracks will I loose the extra torque since p28 doesn’t have the secondary runner options

[@tanglewoodsc8]

Just got a car with a b20b and b16 head with a chipped p28 it looks like they pull almost the dame

[@PNWSV]

What is the easiest way to tell if a Integra 94-01 is a true GSR or if someone just put GSR parts on

[@Diosvencedor9]

FZT Motorsport VIN number must have DC2 in it. That's the easiest way. There are Vin numbers everywhere on the car too so check them all and hopefully they all match.

[@PNWSV]

Diosvencedor9 Cool thanks

[@verygoodweed9397]

Diosvencedor9 or db8 for the sedan gsr.

[@euroimport531]

look at the block b18c if its a gsr not a or b. unless you mean the body too then vin number

[@jromero2002]

Throw a wideband on make sure your close

[@victorpla16]

What is IAB ?

[@Daman1945]

Victor Pla intake air bypass

[@HondaStreetGarage]

Victor Pla it's the multiple butterfly throttlebody si side the gsr intake manifold

[@mr.v6392]

Victor Pla the gsr manifold has two sets of intake runners, bottom runners being blocked by throttle plates ( aka secondary butterflies). the reason for this is to utilize as much torque and hp at lower rpm when the engine is running on the secondary cam lobes. for the gsr, the vtec will operate the higher lift lobes at 4400 rpm until redline. you won't notice the "vtec crack" during the engagement because it's not receiving as much air as it will when it hits 5800 rpm and the iab regulator opens the "butterfly plates". this is when you will notice the infamous "vtec crack". and no, vtec on the gsr engine does not kick in twice. I hear this all the time and it cracks me up.

[@mrangulo0]

Eric Hughes h22s have the same iabs

[@victorpla16]

Fuck me u learn something everyday

[@andrew.gs20]

Do you think you could run 8k rpm on a stock b20 block on low boost and still be relatively safe?

[@MistrMcGill]

btw I want an engine like this...good revs with stock composure. win.

[@CarHound]

great video would love some more tuning videos. could get a reputable tuner to give u a tutorial and u teach us too.

[@jeanmitchell1648]

so niceyou are the maaan!, it runs so smooth . bless ings ...

[@wilanjoac]

what exhaust setup do you have on this integra?

[@africankat1]

why not tune on a dyno instead of 'feel'. also would a piggyback chip not be simpler?...ps. appreciate ur vids

[@gabrielrodriguez3613]

Quick question I saw you set your rev limiter into the 8k region out of curiosity how reliable is that? (Due to the whole battle of opinions on rod bolts) haha.

[@fc3sttwo]

Gabriel Rodriguez I had mine set at 8600 and it lasted 12thousand miles before it wiped the rod bearings. Rarely beat on it also.

[@csracing23]

Got ? I'm new to Hondas but got a 93 civic dx hatch 5speed with b16 block b18 head 72or73mm t/body on p30 computer has a wire tuck done too it for some reason it's power surging there no power lost to the motor just the brights lights only when I'm driving not when I'm stopped it's flicker off and on and you can see it on the dash it has a good lightbulbs battery and alternator good ground wires I'm thinking it needs to be on a different/type of computer or new wiring harness ? and i seen like 3 wires hacked in to computer harness just wondering if someone knew something .....thanks

[@KIIIIIIIIIIYOSHI-DONO]

Props for still using XP lol

[@dannymartinez8522]

xp haha! i was like dang this old video until i checked the date lol

[@NorthG689]

What IAB is ?

[@dc5rick877]

my sir2 goes into limp mode when it wants to what can that be?

[@daninturrisi8610]

ricky muniz my penis goes into limp mode sometimes

[@dc5rick877]

I feel sorry for your girl

[@euroimport531]

could be leaning out cant tell with such little info. maybe low compression do a compression test.

[@dc5rick877]

it does it when running low rpm in third it started after i put a new ckutch

[@galaxy1113]

Where u guys located

[@ruanrocharbr]

is that a honda acura integra?

[@litogtrnissan]

is it a stock b20v it probably doesnt make power past 7000

[@nobuddycares4]

Actually it doesn't make power before or after 7000 either.......great on gas though .....thank God for Hondas .....because all you dumbasses would kill people if you had any actual power .....smh

[@litogtrnissan]

Nobuddy Cares mhhmmm

[@litogtrnissan]

Nobuddy Cares what do you drive mr.keyboard warrior

[@jeremyhoffecker7804]

VTEC POWERED TORTUGA. look how many times he talked shit to other peoples comments. what a dick.

[@litogtrnissan]

Jeremy Hoffecker i know bro he needs to get a life

[@Officially_Lauro_Built]

I have crome and I have the moates burner 2. for the chip burner for 50 on Craig's lol.

[@jameslucas8230]

I have an 01 gsr . I've never felt the VTEC kick in . around 4.2 rpms it makes a funny sound. what could be wrong or what csn I check. it doesn't act like I've seen other v tecs acts

[@nobuddycares4]

That funny sound is everyone around you laughing at the fact your trying to race an economy car ......

[@rikkiallen4577]

lol is that a wannabe Holden manaro?? let me guess custom supercharged? Hahaha, xr6 turbos eat those things for fun sorry mate

[@rikkiallen4577]

the only thing GM is the engine haha, have you seen the ford f6?

[@jameslucas8230]

Rikki Allen lol its Australias GM devision. Come again young man. And I don't check for fords. There trash. Even if there fast. There fast trash

[@rikkiallen4577]

Yea thought so, uneducated

[@blueridermg]

Pretty cool info, thanks

[@jordanharris6321]

What trans are you using?

[@giovannicortez502]

I got a 05 civic d17a vtec I want to swap a b20 vtec in. What would I need other than the engine some info would be appreciated. Thanks

[@bseriesnick]

you probably have already but, sell it and buy any older gen civic. I don’t think anyone makes mounts for b series in a 7th gen

[@sentree9857]

Can anyone give me some advice on good basic mods for the b16a2? Am I wasting my time?

[@hoondagang4919]

I love my b20v eg its the tits thanks for inspiration your channel has helped me allot

[@oscarface7382]

Have the 2000 b20b ..is it safe to slap type r head ? .. In the long run ..as daily

[@h2bpilot358]

Either or type r or gsr is fine

[@rocman9137]

are you near ny? id like you to help with my k24a2 build? or can you do one in the future in depth on video?

[@capohonda]

Bro I just swap my crv b20z manual awd to a b16 si head and she came with this 1999 civic si head B16 sir Obdo si intake manifold Thermal intake manifold gasket 1999 Acura integra Gsr cams High Performance supertech dual valve springs and titanium retainers and keepers High Performance supertech flat face valves Skunk 2 lost motion lifter eliminators AEM adjustable cam gears Billet cam seal Type R water pump Arp head bolts GREDDY blue timing belt Today I start up and the timing is good and everything So I have a p28 ecu what next I want to run the vtec in the best and secure way because is a daily car but I wanna enjoy it

[@robertreid4138]

more tuning tips!!!

[@nobuddycares4]

Sell your honda and buy a real car ........then tune your new cars stereo to your favorite station and enjoy it being faster than your rice car .......your welcome

[@therealjgld]

Nobuddy Cares what kind of car do you have I had a chevy truck that no one was touching now I have a Honda and it's a whole different world with power v money and if you were a real "car enthusiast " you would respect all cars for what they are
