I give Skunk2 a holla. They build a Bad ass B20/VTEC
CR-V Block with a Type R head.

 

why not just run a Type r motor. Don't you think if a B20 VTEC was a better motor Honda would have produced it?

 

did honda produce the LS/VTEC motors??? no tuners figured out that the ls block had more torque capabilities than a gsr or typr r. thats why the crv-vtec is just as if not more potent than a ls/vtec.

 

well shit fuck doing all that jsut turbo a ls block best weigh to go or maybe turbo a b20 engien hm... lots of torque?

 

everything is a compromise though. Sure you want that torque of the LS or B20 but if you're going to put the VTEC head on it and try to rev it, it's not going to last. It won't take the abuse that a true VTEC motor will.

 

the block are stronger, so whats the problem, where can he go wrong?

 

Famous misconception of the crv blocks. They actually are weaker and can not handle high cylinder pressures.

 

I am actually taking a break at this very moment from assembling the short block. The head should be back late next week or early the following week.

 

CRV blocks are notoriously weaker, yes. You'll also come out with a wierd rod to stroke ratio and a long stroke that won't like high RPM at all. It's truly a big comprimise frankenstein. If you want a 2.x liter VTEC, get an H22..

 

The actual cylinder strength can be increased and you can use a longer rod and custom pistons with raised pin sets to help out the side wall loading and R/S ratio. The block is a good starting point if you want to take the time and effort to correct its "problems".
