ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

Read them. You will be expected to follow them.

    The 160ish horsepower JDM B20A for the 3rd gen Accord, nearly impossible to find now. But your right, I forgot about that one. Probably because it's more of a legend now days. USDM there there isn't a B20A in the 3rd gen though.

    I still see the B20 VTEC just like all the other Civic & Integra engines. Because that's really what it is. B20, B18, different but still yet much similar in comparison than the B20B to the F20B or F20A.

    They are also engineered for very different cars.

    You wouldn't drive an Accord the same with a B18C in it as you would an H22. I just don't see it as ever feeling right. At all. It seems normal to wrap a Civic hatch way up and not make much power down low. That doesn't feel right in the Accord. The F20B for instance, I have rode in a CD5 with the F20B and it didn't feel right. It needed to be revved higher and felt unnatural. The B20 VTEC would likely be like this even more so.

    I still don't see the power, power range, or really anything ideal about a B18 or B20 VTEC in CB. It seems like it would be all around kinda screwy.

    It's all speculative I guess. Since it's never been done before. At least to our knowledge.

      Yeah. I'm quite sure it's never been done. Still, with turbo, those small displacement engines can do very well. I've seen a number of 4 cylinder mk4 Supras built for racing, and those cars are heavy pigs!

      It's not so much that the performance wouldn't be adequate... it's that the cost associated with installing the engine and obtaining the numbers necessary to justify the swap would be extremely expensive.

        Agreed. My perspective is just a perspective. H22 is better IMO I guess. Maybe that's why I look at it the way I do.
