Project B20-VTEC complete........

[BlownSOL]

Yeah, lets not steal Tim's thunder here Jim. When I saw the detailed breakdown of parts in the above post, I was hoping that was Tim's beast. So gentleman, do us the favor of giving a COMPLETE list of what has been done to Tim's motor.

I would also like to know what RPM range will be this motor's comfort zone. As well as what max RPM can it be spun to safely.

Tim, as you know I am really exited for you. Jim does a great job of putting forth every effort in making a dream project come true. I hope yours is every bit as successful as mine was.

90Teg...
I am happy to tell you all you wish to know about the Nighthawk project, however, I do not wish to steal Tim's "thunder" here in this thread. His car is a piece of magic all on it's own... and it truly deserves to be fully discussed here.
The happiness of my customers is FAR more important than my own projects... because the truth is, without them, my projects never come to fruition.

Call me at the shop to talk "Nighthawk"... or start a new thread with your questions: I will answer all.

KEEP KICKING ASS TIM !!!
By the way, how does the torque feel at 6000 rpm ???

[BoostedEX]

The torque feels pretty damn strong right now!!

Tim,

Can I tell ??? Please, Please, let me tell them !!! I really wanna talk CRVTEC !!!

[BoostedEX]

By all means Jim........ [img]biggrin.gif[/img]

OK Dark Side fans... here is the rundown on Tim's new CRVTEC powerplant:

All accessory hardware (alternator, A/C, brackets, sensors, etc) was transferred from his original JDM B16A SiR-II engine.

Head:

JDM B16A Sir-II stock head

I believe that should just about cover it... did I forget anything Tim ???

"I would also like to know what RPM range will be this motor's comfort zone. As well as what max RPM can it be spun to safely"

Jim or Tim, any guestimates on this?

[BlownGSr]

sounds like its gonna be a killer setup, Im getting tempted [img]smile.gif[/img]

how much Hp do you think it will put?

[BoostedEX]

My goal is at least 250+whp and 170+ ft/trq at the wheels [img]smile.gif[/img]

Dam! BoostedEx, your setup is almost exactly the same I had planned before I got my new ride. The only thing I would change is the LSD(cuz the stock Honda is not going to last with all the crazy torque), and port the head so you can take advantage of the larger displacemet+boost along with piston speed from the CRV's longer stroke. Otherwise that is still a "KICK ASS" setup. I wish Jim was a little closer to California so I can give him some more customers like me and my buddies. Did you guys come up with any code name for this motor?
