As a Honda tech as well imma say this man knows his shit, everything he said is 100%. I’ve built a lot of lsv/b20v setups. if u want it to run like a type r motor do it right cam tuning/ignition timing is always a lil off. Breather setup is also important. Great info bro👍
Thank you for being one of the most fun and informative Honda tuning channels out there. Instead of just reviewing tuned cars like alot of channels,which is fine, but you also provide us (DIY'ers) important information that very straight foward. You simplify alot of things. keep up the good work. You deserve more subscribers
I have a D16 and even though it is information about a B series you have helped me out so much!!! Just installed the Skunk2 Pro Series intake and a H22a throttle body with a 70mm spacer and it has this problem where it goes up and down in idle.. You have now helped me so much!! Thankyou ^_^ Will jump on this fix tomorrow
The fluctuating idles in Hondas I have seen have all been caused by vacuum leaks. Have seen only seen one related to IACV (coolant related) The others were all FITV/idle screw adjustment issues or other vacuum leaks (brake booster/cruise control ports) awesome channel
A big issue with the timing on a P73 map for a stock B20V is the cam profile of the P73 engine which the ecu map is designed for. The Type R cams have more lift and duration and therefore require a cooler plug (BKR7E vs the BKR6E for the GSR/B16) Whether you are running P73 cams or not, but especially if you are, you should always run the BKR7E in a B20V. This is more of a bandaid approach as ideally the setup should be tuned, but if your running just a basemap run the cooler plugs as well. It goes a long way to help with pre ignition. Also it should go without saying to use premium fuel always in a high comp VTEC engine. 91 minimum 93 is better.
Great info didn't know that!!! With that knowledge I see where coil packs on b series motors can be useful. U could tune it for timing and get best at low rpm and high rpm
Thank u sir ive learned alot since subscribing........i have a B18C5 ....it runs & idels fine .......but i was wondering if values can tap in these motors like ive seen in a old S10 truck i had 20yrs ago the values were tapping.........also does it sound the same? Thanks
I bought a civic with a b16 and it had a surging idle. I popped the radiator cap off and it was about a quart low. Topped it off and bled, idle problem gone.
nice info im just get in to the honda swap and stuff i allway like and drive hondas but not into engines and swaps but what you sugest for a 92 dx AWD like a crv???
watching this video made me wanna ask you a ton of questions man for example i got my b16a tuned with full exhaust intake header and skunk 2 cams and got it dyno tuned but it actually didnt make as much power as i hoped it would have. the tuner told me that basically the block is old and the compression wasnt there. should i start with a compression test first?
What would you recommend for the oil line to the head when doing a b20v swap? Sandwich plate or "T" off the oil pressure sensor? I've hear pros and cons to both. Just wondering if you or anyone can share some expertise on this. Thanks
Your great man thank you for tips! I've never had so much info. Can you do a em2 if someone wants a build 😜. I am gonna work on a fuel pump soon. It feels sluggish. Oh! And my sparkers. I needa change those.
The problem i'm having is that I had bad fluctuating idle like you described, where it revs up and down from 1500-2500 but not all the time, then my rotor broke on my ebay distributor, so I rebuilt my oem dizzy with new igniter/coil. I need to get my ignition timing done but I cant get the car to idle properly! Sometimes at 1k at idle, then sometimes drops to 400 about to stall, I just got a new battery too, and another used Iac valve. Ideas?
Can you give some tips about emissions!? My project car 94 Honda civic DX automatic California emissions swapping a 98 B18b1 automatic California emissions just need to know if I have to rewire the evap solenoid at the engine harness so it will match the evap wires on the passenger side shock tower plugs or is just a plug and play... Thanks for any help in advance
I would use 0-30 5-30 or 10-30 oil in the older b d h and f motors. surprising to me was that mobil 1 0-30 is a direct replacement for 5 or 10 30 oils. the benefit is miniscule fuel mileage increases
hey guys, so i have a question im from sonora mexico where is super super HOT and i have a LSVtec and the oil i use is 20W 50 is that good? thanks guys love ur channel
I love the information you give to and videos you put out. I have a question that im having a hard time getting answered. Suspension top hat bushings. My mine are bad and idk which ones to order to replace mine with as i can not find anything through the skunk2 replacement site. I have a 96 Integra on skunk2 coilovers. its the rubber/polyurethane that sits in the wholes on the strut bar. Thanks!
I have a b20vtec (b16 head) 8lbs turbo need a base map on Hondata s300 v3 how would you go about setting a new calibration for my set up? What do you recommend.
I kinda used 10w40 for a decade plus now. never felt it was too thick because once it warms up, it becomes thinner anyway. I've tried 0w20, I didn't notice a marked difference (if there was supposed to be one) no winters at my place though, so I guess might be related to weather?
hey guys hope u can answer this. I have a 97 acura cl, the engine is a f23a1 PAA is the head cast. I changed the cylinder head but realized it was a POA cast instead. car won't rev past 3 grand very slight chance that it will. is the wrong head the problem?
I still cant seem to get my h2b swap to work and ive been working on it for like 4-5 months. so im just going to buy a gsr and keep my type-r trans. is there anything i should do wile the motor is out the car?
Hey I have a 2000 h22a4 bolted to a 92 prelude si lsd manual transmission I was running the stock h23a1 harness to engine but which ecu will safely run that engine without running it to lean
I have a question? I know you said it best to have your ecu chipped and tuned to run correct but I live in CT and I have to do emissions. I have a 00 civic ex with a jdm b20b block with a b16a2 head, I don't know if you guys know but what ecu could I use just pass emissions? I've heard the obd2b gsr ecu's have ignitions immobilizer but can't find a correct answer about the 99-00 civic si ecu if they have immobilizers but even still would the b20vtec even run or run ok with that ecu? please if any info it would be of great help.
anyone have tips on how to take out the fuel filter line nut? Mines is potentially seized and I use a closed-end wrench and still can't bust the nut loose. thanks
Do you guys have a video on the best spark plug gap to run? Been having a hard time with that, I have a B20 VTEC Turbo and I would like some advice on spark plug gap. Thanks Honda street garage!
Why do i need to run premium gas for b20vtec ive used 87 for my stock b20 and it runs perfect does changing the head and all that require premium what if i use 87 for b20vtec??
i have a jdm sir bottom end with sir2 head n my car tends to go into limp mode in the morning when i hit vtec but in the after noon when its warmer it dont do it i installed new dizzy bought vms 10.2 mm spark plug wires and ngk plugs what cam it be
I’ve been having a problem with my gearing in my b20v, I’m not getting any low end power in 1st and 2nd gear, then when I shift into 3rd gear rpms jump 1,000 rpm as if I downshifted, also does this going into 5th gear. Any ideas?
Probably out a tooth on the belt or valve adjustment what trans u got ? U want a gsr transmission for sure. And check make sure u are about 19deg on timing with everything good and should be good don't know what you got going on.
can you do a video on no start no crank? please......... I hate that I have to open my hood to start my car. I have to take a wire from my starter to my battery.

have watched this video several times and still feel like i learn something every single time.
Hands down my favorite channel! Dude keep it up!
Thanks for the great tips. Starting my first ls vtec now and your a big help
man I learn a lot from this channel, keep the videos coming
I've been watching your videos and built a b20vtec for my son. I'm so impressed that I plan on building a k for myself
Always learning something when i watch these videos!!

thank you guys very much. he touched on a lot of issues that I'm having with my Honda Accord station wagon an issue
got a 2000 ex/si clone with a b20b and si trans... got a gsr head waiting to go on soon... u guys answered alot of my questions...
Thanks for all the important info! 👍
Amazing video, holy crap this is priceless info! Be blessed bro!
Learnt a lot about ls engines on this episode cheers boys
Great videos, keep up the good info and amazing work!
So much knowledge able advice! Thanks
make a how to wire in vtec video = 1,000,000 Views...maybe from me lmao
Zosh I heard you was Poppin vtec today
thanks brother you the best hope u and family are doing good
thanks again for the videos guys.
love the video keep em coming good info

awesome channel
man thanks for this vid i am having the sluggish issue as well so defintly gonna take your advice on the dizzy and fuel pump
Have learn a lot from this great info..

this video helped me a lot. my TPS sensor just went bad and I didn't know I have to time it
So much great info!
Great video thanks for the info!
Very good tips
Great info didn't know that!!! With that knowledge I see where coil packs on b series motors can be useful. U could tune it for timing and get best at low rpm and high rpm
Lmao bro you are awesome keep doing what you do. I just got my B20 block today and am definitely going to suscribe to you.
very good info! I dont own any b series engines but info given can be used on a d series too especially tps and dizzy settings.
Very helpful info thanks
Great information.
Thank I so much I just learned a whole lot god bless🙌
Thanks for the video
Great video. However, detonation is two flame fronts colliding causing extreme cylinder pressure and temperature. 👍🏻
Sick ass vid man really needed the info
i recently decided to go b20 for hatch
great info
Awesome Video \m/
Thank u sir ive learned alot since subscribing........i have a B18C5 ....it runs & idels fine .......but i was wondering if values can tap in these motors like ive seen in a old S10 truck i had 20yrs ago the values were tapping.........also does it sound the same? Thanks
First video I seen was the jdm front end on the Integra
Great video, what spark plugs would you recommend for a b20v all motor?
woot Woot!!!👍👍👍👍
cool vid

Which tuning program would let me put a kill switch through the ecu? In order for the car to start the headlights need to be turn on.
Your great man thank you for tips! I've never had so much info. Can you do a em2 if someone wants a build 😜. I am gonna work on a fuel pump soon. It feels sluggish. Oh! And my sparkers. I needa change those.

Thanks for any help in advance
could you make a video explaining what d series vtec engine would be a good platform to modify?
also great videos.
you should make video of front, rear lca and sway bar
Great info as usual HSG M: can I run a chipped p72 on my lsv? P28 is dead ran the car for 30 seconds but has died since? Thnx.
I would use 0-30 5-30 or 10-30 oil in the older b d h and f motors. surprising to me was that mobil 1 0-30 is a direct replacement for 5 or 10 30 oils. the benefit is miniscule fuel mileage increases

DeMarcus Cleveland use stock bushings they last longer
You recommend low comp b20b .. For supercharger or turbo?
Wish you did this for k series. Good stuff tho
I have a b20vtec (b16 head) 8lbs turbo need a base map on Hondata s300 v3 how would you go about setting a new calibration for my set up? What do you recommend.
I running a lsv right now and it's blowing oil little by little out of the valve cover breather. Is that common for an obdII ls block?
I kinda used 10w40 for a decade plus now. never felt it was too thick because once it warms up, it becomes thinner anyway.
I've tried 0w20, I didn't notice a marked difference (if there was supposed to be one)
no winters at my place though, so I guess might be related to weather?
You guys make me want to go b20v I have a stock b20 I also have a gsr head is it reliable to just bolt the head on ?
hey guys hope u can answer this. I have a 97 acura cl, the engine is a f23a1 PAA is the head cast. I changed the cylinder head but realized it was a POA cast instead. car won't rev past 3 grand very slight chance that it will. is the wrong head the problem?
Question have you done a non vtec B20 build with full upgrade motor parts? I want to do all motor but I want to upgrade all parts.
I still cant seem to get my h2b swap to work and ive been working on it for like 4-5 months. so im just going to buy a gsr and keep my type-r trans. is there anything i should do wile the motor is out the car?
Hey I have a 2000 h22a4 bolted to a 92 prelude si lsd manual transmission I was running the stock h23a1 harness to engine but which ecu will safely run that engine without running it to lean
by any chance do you know howto manually open the heater core andheater core box? i really want heat. lol
What is a Best transmission for b20 to race?
I have a question? I know you said it best to have your ecu chipped and tuned to run correct but I live in CT and I have to do emissions. I have a 00 civic ex with a jdm b20b block with a b16a2 head, I don't know if you guys know but what ecu could I use just pass emissions? I've heard the obd2b gsr ecu's have ignitions immobilizer but can't find a correct answer about the 99-00 civic si ecu if they have immobilizers but even still would the b20vtec even run or run ok with that ecu? please if any info it would be of great help.
anyone have tips on how to take out the fuel filter line nut? Mines is potentially seized and I use a closed-end wrench and still can't bust the nut loose. thanks
so is there a big difference between a type r base map compared to say stock 99 gsr ecu?
man. I wish you were closer to me. Tampa FL. I would love for your to build me a motor like what you have in this video. I have a stock 96 Civic Dx..
Do you guys have a video on the best spark plug gap to run? Been having a hard time with that, I have a B20 VTEC Turbo and I would like some advice on spark plug gap. Thanks Honda street garage!
make a video on best b20vtec setup with bolt ons
Great vid bro, so I have a b20v build I’m working on right now will the type R basemap work even if I have skunk2 springs,lifters,II camshafts?
Just to get it to start/idle obviously, planning on dyno after
B20 vtec...(stock internals)should i use fully synthetic? - thanks
what oil do you recommend?
"Blow 'em up, we'll make more" ~ Honda
Why do i need to run premium gas for b20vtec ive used 87 for my stock b20 and it runs perfect does changing the head and all that require premium what if i use 87 for b20vtec??
i have a jdm sir bottom end with sir2 head n my car tends to go into limp mode in the morning when i hit vtec but in the after noon when its warmer it dont do it i installed new dizzy bought vms 10.2 mm spark plug wires and ngk plugs what cam it be
So what should I use for my lsv VTEC I started looking for ACL bearings on eBay and I see VTEC and non VTEC ones what does that matter?
What do I need to do a proper b20v
I’ve been having a problem with my gearing in my b20v, I’m not getting any low end power in 1st and 2nd gear, then when I shift into 3rd gear rpms jump 1,000 rpm as if I downshifted, also does this going into 5th gear. Any ideas?
Probably out a tooth on the belt or valve adjustment what trans u got ? U want a gsr transmission for sure. And check make sure u are about 19deg on timing with everything good and should be good don't know what you got going on.
What timing belt for b20b b16 head
How much max timing to use on b20 vtec
What fuel pressure setting do you recommend on a high comp b20 with b16 head ? Thanks
45psi
Make a vid on how to wire the vtec
can you do a video on no start no crank? please......... I hate that I have to open my hood to start my car. I have to take a wire from my starter to my battery.
Any HSG videos on K-swaps yet? Y'all give great info on explaining things
M Jenks not yet, hopefully next summer if the budget will allow lol
Looking forward to it...
can i just use my p72 ecu from my b17a1
can you guys do on H22 instead of B20
I wish you could help with my civic out it's been to long I got cash! Lol
does b20 vtec needs pcv valve??
My 91 civic hachback is not getting hot when I use my heater I tryed bleeding the coolant but it still won't get hot wats wrong with my car?
