B20 VTEC TUNING AND TIPS! HSG EP. 4-41

[@bserious8341]

As a Honda tech as well imma say this man knows his shit, everything he said is 100%. I’ve built a lot of lsv/b20v setups. if u want it to run like a type r motor do it right cam tuning/ignition timing is always a lil off. Breather setup is also important. Great info bro👍

[@mangoracing2617]

Thank you for being one of the most fun and informative Honda tuning channels out there. Instead of just reviewing tuned cars like alot of channels,which is fine, but you also provide us (DIY'ers) important information that very straight foward. You simplify alot of things. keep up the good work. You deserve more subscribers

[@jojodancer7989]

I've been watching your videos and built a b20vtec for my son. I'm so impressed that I plan on building a k for myself

[@carter8398]

have watched this video several times and still feel like i learn something every single time.

[@RB30G3M]

I have a D16 and even though it is information about a B series you have helped me out so much!!! Just installed the Skunk2 Pro Series intake and a H22a throttle body with a 70mm spacer and it has this problem where it goes up and down in idle.. You have now helped me so much!! Thankyou ^_^ Will jump on this fix tomorrow

[@98dc2gsr575]

Hands down my favorite channel! Dude keep it up!

[@jd12680]

I love the stuff you always discuss and explain in your videos.

[@jdmfanboyn8v476]

got a 2000 ex/si clone with a b20b and si trans... got a gsr head waiting to go on soon... u guys answered alot of my questions...

[@backyardbuilthondas1284]

Always learning something when i watch these videos!!

[@montanayang8457]

man I learn a lot from this channel, keep the videos coming

[@delifdgdfg]

The fluctuating idles in Hondas I have seen have all been caused by vacuum leaks. Have seen only seen one related to IACV (coolant related) The others were all FITV/idle screw adjustment issues or other vacuum leaks (brake booster/cruise control ports) awesome channel

[@ukwildcatsify]

Thanks for the great tips. Starting my first ls vtec now and your a big help

[@MinhTranQ]

Freaking life saver over here. Step by step from cheap and easy scenario to high.

[@predator19801]

Learnt a lot about ls engines on this episode cheers boys

[@olderrol1968]

thank you guys very much. he touched on a lot of issues that I'm having with my Honda Accord station wagon an issue

[@shaday1759]

thanks brother you the best hope u and family are doing good

[@roadworthy6901]

Amazing video, holy crap this is priceless info! Be blessed bro!

[@jayboogie2403]

man thanks for this vid i am having the sluggish issue as well so defintly gonna take your advice on the dizzy and fuel pump

[@chromesalad9788]

Lmao bro you are awesome keep doing what you do. I just got my B20 block today and am definitely going to suscribe to you.

[@tomarun6624]

So much knowledge able advice! Thanks

[@LRT604]

this video helped me a lot. my TPS sensor just went bad and I didn't know I have to time it

[@Zosh]

make a how to wire in vtec video = 1,000,000 Views...maybe from me lmao

[@junrowdy]

Zosh I heard you was Poppin vtec today

[@masimo1231]

Great videos, keep up the good info and amazing work!

[@joedoole3527]

A big issue with the timing on a P73 map for a stock B20V is the cam profile of the P73 engine which the ecu map is designed for. The Type R cams have more lift and duration and therefore require a cooler plug (BKR7E vs the BKR6E for the GSR/B16) Whether you are running P73 cams or not, but especially if you are, you should always run the BKR7E in a B20V. This is more of a bandaid approach as ideally the setup should be tuned, but if your running just a basemap run the cooler plugs as well. It goes a long way to help with pre ignition. Also it should go without saying to use premium fuel always in a high comp VTEC engine. 91 minimum 93 is better.

[@majesticcruz1918]

Have learn a lot from this great info..

[@LsxOscar]

Thanks for all the important info! 👍

[@dsturbovq]

Great info didn't know that!!! With that knowledge I see where coil packs on b series motors can be useful. U could tune it for timing and get best at low rpm and high rpm

[@junrowdy]

thanks again for the videos guys.

[@Handyman50000]

very good info! I dont own any b series engines but info given can be used on a d series too especially tps and dizzy settings.

[@christopherzvl6373]

Thank I so much I just learned a whole lot god bless🙌

[@ChaseDiaz_garage_works]

Great video. However, detonation is two flame fronts colliding causing extreme cylinder pressure and temperature. 👍🏻

[@HondaDX43]

So much great info!

[@Khroniik_]

I love the information you give to and videos you put out. I have a question that im having a hard time getting answered. Suspension top hat bushings. My mine are bad and idk which ones to order to replace mine with as i can not find anything through the skunk2 replacement site. I have a 96 Integra on skunk2 coilovers. its the rubber/polyurethane that sits in the wholes on the strut bar. Thanks!

[@HondaStreetGarage]

DeMarcus Cleveland use stock bushings they last longer

[@elizabethespinosa1427]

love the video keep em coming good info

[@VtecSam]

Sick ass vid man really needed the info

[@blueridermg]

Very good tips

[@bseriesonlyhondasintegras1883]

Thank u sir ive learned alot since subscribing........i have a B18C5 ....it runs & idels fine .......but i was wondering if values can tap in these motors like ive seen in a old S10 truck i had 20yrs ago the values were tapping.........also does it sound the same? Thanks

[@JoseAlvarado-jr5jz]

Very helpful info thanks

[@ericstapleton3434]

Hey I have a 2000 h22a4 bolted to a 92 prelude si lsd manual transmission I was running the stock h23a1 harness to engine but which ecu will safely run that engine without running it to lean

[@deserthvaclife9768]

Great vid bro, so I have a b20v build I’m working on right now will the type R basemap work even if I have skunk2 springs,lifters,II camshafts?

[@deserthvaclife9768]

Just to get it to start/idle obviously, planning on dyno after

[@BoostedPastime]

Great video thanks for the info!

[@yannickn6742]

Great info as usual HSG M: can I run a chipped p72 on my lsv? P28 is dead ran the car for 30 seconds but has died since? Thnx.

[@lsvtech21]

nice info im just get in to the honda swap and stuff i allway like and drive hondas but not into engines and swaps but what you sugest for a 92 dx AWD like a crv???

[@Davidwhaaat]

i recently decided to go b20 for hatch

[@carlosnunez322]

Great video, what spark plugs would you recommend for a b20v all motor?

[@ARMAGEDDON2916]

Do you guys have a video on the best spark plug gap to run? Been having a hard time with that, I have a B20 VTEC Turbo and I would like some advice on spark plug gap. Thanks Honda street garage!

[@5485bimmer1]

could you make a video explaining what d series vtec engine would be a good platform to modify? also great videos.

[@insaneracingteam1449]

hey guys, so i have a question im from sonora mexico where is super super HOT and i have a LSVtec and the oil i use is 20W 50 is that good? thanks guys love ur channel

[@jaymills85]

So what should I use for my lsv VTEC I started looking for ACL bearings on eBay and I see VTEC and non VTEC ones what does that matter?

[@sadakotube]

I kinda used 10w40 for a decade plus now. never felt it was too thick because once it warms up, it becomes thinner anyway. I've tried 0w20, I didn't notice a marked difference (if there was supposed to be one) no winters at my place though, so I guess might be related to weather?

[@djohnnineonesix820]

Can you give some tips about emissions!? My project car 94 Honda civic DX automatic California emissions swapping a 98 B18b1 automatic California emissions just need to know if I have to rewire the evap solenoid at the engine harness so it will match the evap wires on the passenger side shock tower plugs or is just a plug and play... Thanks for any help in advance

[@erikd7255]

watching this video made me wanna ask you a ton of questions man for example i got my b16a tuned with full exhaust intake header and skunk 2 cams and got it dyno tuned but it actually didnt make as much power as i hoped it would have. the tuner told me that basically the block is old and the compression wasnt there. should i start with a compression test first?

[@ryan_riffs]

I bought a civic with a b16 and it had a surging idle. I popped the radiator cap off and it was about a quart low. Topped it off and bled, idle problem gone.

[@esaiejoseph2105]

How much max timing to use on b20 vtec

[@functionaspects960]

What fuel pressure setting do you recommend on a high comp b20 with b16 head ? Thanks

[@HondaStreetGarage]

45psi

[@dc5rick877]

i have a jdm sir bottom end with sir2 head n my car tends to go into limp mode in the morning when i hit vtec but in the after noon when its warmer it dont do it i installed new dizzy bought vms 10.2 mm spark plug wires and ngk plugs what cam it be

[@cheryaj90]

I have a question? I know you said it best to have your ecu chipped and tuned to run correct but I live in CT and I have to do emissions. I have a 00 civic ex with a jdm b20b block with a b16a2 head, I don't know if you guys know but what ecu could I use just pass emissions? I've heard the obd2b gsr ecu's have ignitions immobilizer but can't find a correct answer about the 99-00 civic si ecu if they have immobilizers but even still would the b20vtec even run or run ok with that ecu? please if any info it would be of great help.

[@riyaadryklief4220]

Thanks for the video

[@MrJac3848]

you should make video of front, rear lca and sway bar

[@Monsterman05]

I running a lsv right now and it's blowing oil little by little out of the valve cover breather. Is that common for an obdII ls block?

[@MrMakeitnasty]

You guys make me want to go b20v I have a stock b20 I also have a gsr head is it reliable to just bolt the head on ?

[@ItzMute]

Which tuning program would let me put a kill switch through the ecu? In order for the car to start the headlights need to be turn on.

[@mjenks757]

Any HSG videos on K-swaps yet? Y'all give great info on explaining things

[@HondaStreetGarage]

M Jenks not yet, hopefully next summer if the budget will allow lol

[@mjenks757]

Looking forward to it...

[@thatguyslush5779]

Your great man thank you for tips! I've never had so much info. Can you do a em2 if someone wants a build 😜. I am gonna work on a fuel pump soon. It feels sluggish. Oh! And my sparkers. I needa change those.

[@damitriedamitrie6690]

so is there a big difference between a type r base map compared to say stock 99 gsr ecu?

[@Mr.Nector]

Question have you done a non vtec B20 build with full upgrade motor parts? I want to do all motor but I want to upgrade all parts.

[@Kenny_thingispossible]

Hey I watch your videos Everytime.i even old ones, how.much psi is safe on a b20vtec?

[@HondaStreetGarage]

kenneth jean boost? 7-10 lbs

[@tonytran3830]

can you do a video on no start no crank? please......... I hate that I have to open my hood to start my car. I have to take a wire from my starter to my battery.

[@roadworthy6901]

The problem i'm having is that I had bad fluctuating idle like you described, where it revs up and down from 1500-2500 but not all the time, then my rotor broke on my ebay distributor, so I rebuilt my oem dizzy with new igniter/coil. I need to get my ignition timing done but I cant get the car to idle properly! Sometimes at 1k at idle, then sometimes drops to 400 about to stall, I just got a new battery too, and another used Iac valve. Ideas?

[@JDMJNKEE]

I still cant seem to get my h2b swap to work and ive been working on it for like 4-5 months. so im just going to buy a gsr and keep my type-r trans. is there anything i should do wile the motor is out the car?

[@IveHadMyFun]

great info

[@efiadony6933]

Hey man i was wondering if its possible to put a vtec head on a d14 motor? And if yes you know maybe which one?

[@LuisHernandez-on6ni]

efi adony d14 motor?

[@efiadony6933]

Luis Hernandez yes i just got into hondas and im basicly inlove but in my country we cant swap engines and i kinda want vtec cause i want to autocross the car

[@oscarface7382]

You recommend low comp b20b .. For supercharger or turbo?

[@ProfessorPyroarAR15]

First video I seen was the jdm front end on the Integra

[@jameslaiola4976]

by any chance do you know howto manually open the heater core andheater core box? i really want heat. lol

[@johncasillas6421]

I would use 0-30 5-30 or 10-30 oil in the older b d h and f motors. surprising to me was that mobil 1 0-30 is a direct replacement for 5 or 10 30 oils. the benefit is miniscule fuel mileage increases

[@israeltorres5832]

I have a b20vtec (b16 head) 8lbs turbo need a base map on Hondata s300 v3 how would you go about setting a new calibration for my set up? What do you recommend.

[@erickbonilla462]

Wish you did this for k series. Good stuff tho

[@dannyb20vtec28]

cool vid

[@csk559madera]

make a video on best b20vtec setup with bolt ons

[@jramos808]

What would you recommend for the oil line to the head when doing a b20v swap? Sandwich plate or "T" off the oil pressure sensor? I've hear pros and cons to both. Just wondering if you or anyone can share some expertise on this. Thanks

[@michaelwilliams6261]

hey guys hope u can answer this. I have a 97 acura cl, the engine is a f23a1 PAA is the head cast. I changed the cylinder head but realized it was a POA cast instead. car won't rev past 3 grand very slight chance that it will. is the wrong head the problem?

[@godspeople9784]

got a 99si with a b16b type R iam doing under dash harness and can't find one can I use just a 99ex under dash harness?

[@luisagui94]

Just leave the stock harness! Or if it's fucked a 99ex will work it basically the same thing

[@godspeople9784]

Nice thanks bro I thought I needed a 99si harness mine is hacked up

[@luisagui94]

Yup no problem.just make sure it's from a 99-00 ex

[@grandazzo6634]

can you guys do on H22 instead of B20

[@martinamicflyy2618]

B20 vtec...(stock internals)should i use fully synthetic? - thanks

[@illegalrider7074]

good info.

[@dochvtech22]

what oil do you recommend?

[@michaelc5019]

Where's the Wago Van? Back in the day you guys did the D15b Vtec swap and it's been MIA ever since, no single jingle love?

[@HondaStreetGarage]

Michael C over the years I've had to sell my cars, to keep the channel going. I really miss that car the most. You can see pics when it was finished and painted on our Facebook and Instagram pages. I've tried to buy it back from the current owner but he will not let it go.

[@michaelc5019]

Honda Street Garage Well I appreciate the sacrifice you've made to keep the channel up and going. Maybe buy another Wago and take it to where you wanted your last one to go in the future. I grew up in Columbia SC at Ft. Jackson but now reside in the Racing Capitol of the World (Indianapolis), so shout to you guys down in South Cak.

[@jdmDC2ftw]

anyone have tips on how to take out the fuel filter line nut? Mines is potentially seized and I use a closed-end wrench and still can't bust the nut loose. thanks

[@tacticalsniper2012]

Why do i need to run premium gas for b20vtec ive used 87 for my stock b20 and it runs perfect does changing the head and all that require premium what if i use 87 for b20vtec??

[@ohhApathy]

What timing belt for b20b b16 head

[@kevinromero651]

Hey I got a b18b block with a b16 head, what's the right proper torque spec

[@leesin2me]

download a b16 repair manual and check the torque specs to use for the head (head studs, cams bolts, valve cover, etc..), and a b18b repair manual for stuff related to the block (flywheel, clutch, etc..)
