Civic Type R (CTR)...Unless its an Integra Type R (ITR)...
Almost positive he said its a integra Type R head.. Is that still a frankenstien setup?
Yes, it is. Any non-factory head and block combination can be considered a Frankenstein setup. What he's saying about the CR-V stuff is that you could get a B20 block from the CR-V and mate it to your existing head, and then have a 2.0 liter engine as opposed to the 1.6 you have now.
Honestly though, I would just take it somewhere to be dyno-tested and see what it's putting out before you make any huge decisions or buy any additional parts...
Of course if I were to take a B20b and bolt the ITR head I have on that block it would be a larger displacement motor(2.0L) right? With it being a larger motor it should make more power down low correct? Could I still spin the motor high rpms? As for the internals I have in the b16 right now. Could I swap everything over to the b20 block? Whats the actual benefit of running eagle rods and crank if the stock internals out of other motors are strong enough to hold hp??
Unfortunately you'd be stuck with the B20's limitations unless you swap out the internals, and also unfortunately, you cannot swap over the B16s internals, since the B20 block uses a larger bore. The only option would be after-market.
This is why I suggest just getting the car dyno'd before you worry about any of this. After you know how much power it's pushing with the current setup, then you'll be in a better position to decide if 1.) you want more power, and 2.) the best way to obtain that power.
What RPM does a t3/t4 light?
