Awesome car man I am looking into getting a crv for winter in DE and building a b20 on the side, by building I only mean sleeve it and connecting rods and arp head studs for boost, how does the transmission hold up to your power level, i'm only after about 280whp

@SuckerForBeeR as of now my trans holds up great shes currently holding 417 whp and well over 360 ft lb daily thx to the help of a comp stage 3 clutch

what's the difference between the B18 and the B20? what kind of turbo did u put on? is it the original engine or rebuilt?

Thanks.

@gc1226gabriel b18 has 81mm pistons the b20 has 84mm pistons both b18 and b20 use the same crank shaft. im running a fully built b18 with a precision 5857e billet now and the b20 block is good till bout 300hp the b18 is good for about 500hp due to the b18 having a thicker side wall

Where you guys from in pa?? PM me if you like....I'm from pa myself and somewhat in the market to build a boosted crv. I've built plenty of civics..just have some questions etc.

Thanks, i have a 1997 crv (B20) and i'm thinking of getting the engine remanufactured (commercially) then adding a bolt-on turbo.

@leewaulk you saying the accord is the chase car? I drive a 96 non vtec coupe right now, sucks driving something so slow, doesn't it! lol. I guess it isnt so bad when you think how heavy they are and who they were probably marketed towards back in the 90's...
