- Thu Apr 21, 2011 6:13 am #251472 Minor Update.

Decided to Stay B20 Non-Vtec, with B16 Transmission. Thought heavily about super charging, There are also thoughts of upgrading to Stage 2 Non-VTEC Cams. Delta Cams are only about 30-45mins away so I would probably go through them. Any Tuning would be through Speed Factory.

Definite plans are to make the B20 Bottom end more compatible with higher Revs. I am pulling the B20/Tranny to swap clutch this weekend. While its out The 19Tooth LS Water pump is being replaced by a 22T GSR Waterpump. A New Oil pump and GSR Timing belt are also being installed. The Clutch is being replaced with an XTD Stage 2 and accompanying pressure plate.

My Stage 2 Clutch Kit, 22T GSR Waterpump, Gsr Timing belt, Oil Pump are sitting in my living room waiting for this weekend. I'm Waiting on my new Cam Seal but it should be here before sunday when its going in.

I will have lots of Pics sunday evening/night when I get back home.

Delsol out of garage under own power.

We Started today at 12Pm Noon, We had around a half hour lunch around 2:30 and left a cleaned and locked up shop at 7:10. Not bad for tearing a car apart, putting in a new waterpump and timing belt, then clutch and putting it all back together agian.

I was going to replace my oil pump at this time as well. However the oil pump had a few differences then my oem honda oil pump, and although their is an OEM code in the box its not an OEM honda pump. I figured my OEM honda pump is better then the obvious china knock off pump into my car.

my aftermarket camseal didn't make it in time for todays work. I will put one in with ARP Rod bolts at a later time. However I wont be needing to take the engine out agian, atleast for a while.

Sorry for all the pics, just picked the creame of the crop and still had 40. and that was including not takening any during most of the reassembly(got work happy agian, lol)

Thanks. I love my B20, Especially mated to a B16 or GSR Tranny. Tons of Torque. Makes for a very fun drive.

Because you when spin higher Rpms with the engine, the water pump spins slower to reduce cavitation where the water "bubbles". Since he is planning on doing something with the head we will just have to see :)
