Don't worry B20 will be staying if the final mapping all goes well. Thats if it happens, still trying to get in contact with tuner.I would keep the b20 mate if you get it sorted it will be some engine.
Way more period for the car than a k20, I'm sure it heaps of fun to drive when it's running right! looks a real real clean ef to fair play you!
Got MOT booked early next Month. But have still had no luck finding a tuner.
Thanks, it was, but unfortunately its not mint anymore, rear arches need done, but once I can afford it after the Datsun is finished it will get a bare metal restoration. I'll make sure that arches last longer this time, won't want to do them ever again as they have both previously been repaired before, but the quality of the work after the new metal was welded in was low, didn't know it at the time, pretty sure its just got underseal over bare metal, possibly had primer applied first.Yours is a real credit to you.
Thats exactly what it is, the block is from a CRV, I then add uprated high compression pistons, rods, bearings and convert it to take a VTEC head from a B18CR. And just like that you have a 2L VTEC B Series.What exactly is a B20B? I googled and it said it’s a non Vtec 2.0 out of a CRV?
Had the MOT on this an then had to get it ready and up to JCC on the same day. It passed MOT with zero issues so all was good. Its still not mapped 100% but its actually running pretty well as the map is close. Keep missing out on getting it mapped at AP Performance, Aonghus is hard to get in contact with.
Day before the MOT however and it was far from ready:
I had decided that my intake pipe with flaking paint would not do for the show so started a very quick spray job. Would have liked longer to do it properly but I didn't have it and I figured it would look far better afterwards than how it currently looked anyhow.
Loose powercoating came off easily but it would have taken an age to get he rest removed and as this was already almost 5 in the evening I just sanded the edges smooth.
Primer
Basecoat and Clearcoat
Not perfect but much better than before.
After the MOT I got her washed and then headed up to Lisburn where I gave it another wash just before heading into the Eikon centre.
The bay cleaned up pretty well, not much left to do in here apart from the rocker cover.
Some exhaust sound from the B20, pure exhaust no intake, sounds crap on laptop speakers. Very different sound to the B16B exhaust.
Yeah, I dislike the raspy sound so waned mine as rasp free as I could get.Sounds good mate, no raspy, fart can noise. That’s an interesting place to hear the exhaust from in a video too. Have you any outside fly by videos to compare how it sounds inside and outside?
Its certainly fun, love driving it, as long as its not in traffic. Original stock i-VT gearbox which I believe is a 4.13 final drive. Its got pretty long ratios but wouldn't want it any shorter as 70mph would be really bad.Looks a really fun wee car that, what gearbox / FD are you running?
