So I have a few questions about this topic I'v researched alittle bit but just wanted to see what you guys have to say.
So I bought an eg hatch with a b20 vtec turbo build the specs are bone stock bottom end out of a 99 crv and a 2000 b16a head of a civic si. .63 greddy turbo 3" piping and exhaust. Tuned on crome. I'm not totally familiar with crome and this is my first turbo car, its got 318whp to the wheel on 8lbs as it sits.
My consern is the fact every one sais b20 sleeves are shit so with that said I want to know if I would be safe pulling the block having a block guard installed professionally and having good rods with good pistons put in to make it more reliable, also I do plan to take it to my local shop to see what compression is and also have them run a few pulls on the dyno to see exactly what's going on. But before I go and start throwing parts at this car I wanna see what the experts say, I wanna know if crome is really a good thing to tune with if not should I go hondata or aem ems ect. My goal as far as whp is about 300 I'm not trying to build a 600+ hp car and expect it to run 6 months from now on stock sleeves so I'm not retarded I just dont have any experience with this build yet
