I have a b18b1 block and b16 pr3-2 head. Replaced the head gasket and it’s still mixing coolant and oil. Radiator hoses are soft even when engine is warm. No pressure building. Engine is not smoking out of exhaust. Drained oil and refilled with fresh oil, started it and let it run for 20 seconds. Checked oil, milky again. In only 20 seconds. I’m thinking I routed one of the coolant lines accidentally into the oil pathways. Are there any diagrams for me to look at coolant line routing?
There’s not much diagram for coolant routing g as the intake side near the vtec solenoid and manifold just comes from either the thermostat housing or plugged but even that won’t tend to mix with oil Most likely the block is warped… meaning a section of a sleeve or bore has sunken so it is t totally flat Checking with a flat edge even a 0.005” warp or unevenness can and will cause this at the right spot

When you pull down the head? Even a straight edge ruler that is aluminum or steel can be used to check block flatness btw and try to insert the thinnest feeler guage That’s the easiest way (though crude) to check

Just go b20.. you already experienced 1.8 now go b20v. Move up to h2b (which is pretty nice experience) or jump to g232b(f series bottom end with h series head and kseries pistons) w b series trans..and make it in k series to feel all then and gradually go up
Would it not be better to run it tight to the block with another elbow to keep it dangling in the engine bay? Plus you could run the pressure switch where you could reach it underneath the car easier.

I want to build a fast b20 vtec. I currently have a b16 healthy engine. What exactly do i need as far as pistons,rods, head work etc. I need a list if you can help me. My goal is 240hp or 250ho bit wouldnt mind at least 220hp i have a crx
Niceee a crx!! Here is a vid about a b20vtec I did that’s been running since 2017 and runs 12.5sec it might be just right for you Full set up is discussed ruclips.net/video/hGbdklj6cSQ/видео.html
I would…on a b20vtec but if there is no space or for simplicity I would atleast replicate the vtec engine’s system like vent the back of the block? Run a pcv valve and connect to the intake manifold that’s for crankcase evacuation on part throttle and idle Then I’d vent the VC on to the intake pipe for crankcase evacuation on anything above 70% throttle This lets u run no catch can but still have the system working as oem
Have a 98 civic hatch with b20b/gsr head. On p28 chip ECU. Was told not to hit vtec too hard because it may send into limp mode? Anyone have any information on this. Car runs really smoothly and vtec does as well.
Ummm.this sounds like you bought the car from someone who bought it from someone else....either two things ..the limp mode light is probably the tuner giving the ecu shifter light when you reaching 7k-9k rpms ..or.. a bad sensor thats throws the cel when you revving hard which out of all then it could be the distributor shaft being unbalanced(cyp,ckp,tdc) which in all honesty rip it have fun with it and when the cel stays on .then flash the codes to see the problem
That’s possible with healthy oil pressure as both vtec solenoid and turbo don’t require alot of oil , most of the time the turbo even has an oil jet restrictor to limit the amount of oil
@@SRDmotorsports thank you. I want change the head too. Should I do B16 or B18? What exhaust sounds good for this swap apexi n1 or hks hi power exhaust?
@@SRDmotorsports thanks, im going to have to tear my b20 down again because i cant remember if i did it myself. still on the stand so its not a big deal.

I am currently porting the head of a D14A4 and the combustion chamber is next on the chopping block. From my understanding and research on the internet, porting the combustion chamber means unshrouding the valves to allow more air to enter easier and smoother past the valves and grinding down sharp edges to avoid hotspots forming and detonation and pre-ignition. After that you sand it down with finer sandpaper till mirror finish to make it harder for carbon deposits to form and to reflect more of the heat back into the combustion chamber, thus making the combustion more efficient. It's probably a marginal or non-noticeable gain, but hey, when you're going trough the trouble of porting, might as well go all the way trough. The tricky part is matching the cc of every combustion chamber to be the same so you have a consistent compression ratio in each cylinder and the other tricky part is to not remove too much material as you will lower your compression ratio and diminish the gains that you received from unshrouding. If you port too much you have to either: A) Mill the head to bring the compression back, but you can only do it to a point and you have to be careful of piston to valve clearance, piston to head clearance and timing. B) Run higher compression pistons, but that involves rebuilding the block as well. C) Weld up the combustion chamber and port it so you have more quench area and bring back some of the compression ratio and mill the head after that. D) Running a thinner head gasket, but you run out of options quick on this one. I guess it goes without saying that you can do certain things together or all of the above at once to meet your goals. Engines like the D14A4 have low compression ratio to begin with (9.2:1) so the slight loss in compression ratio from losing cc in the combustion chamber should not be a big deal, but on higher compression engines the loss in compression ratio will be bigger so keep that in mind. Hope this was of some help. Also @SRDmotorsportsTV, love your content dude! Keep up the great work!
@@SusedatLubo good points there and I agree… the trouble also is each head depends if the stock port is “big” or “small” for the current valve = will dictate the type of unshrouding if any or “many” or a little bit It’s why I showed on the other video the combustion chamber I did and showed also Endyn’s chamber Both had bigger bore so unsrhoudong was easy BUT we limited the unshrouding cuz of everything else like cam , valve size and all Thanks for sharing this it was too long to type as you can see 😂
@@SRDmotorsports Since you know your way around cars, do you mind me asking for some advice in picking a head gasket? My stock bore is 75mm (gonna be 75.5 some day if I decide to overbore and forge the internals for boost) and I am planning on going 76mm head gasket with the idea to have a little bit more room to unshroud the valves in the combustion chamber before getting too close to the gasket. Most people on forums and all over the internet recommend to go same size as the bore or 0.5mm oversize when you get a gasket. Would it be an issue to go +1mm bigger than bore, as in will it hurt longevity of the gasket to a noticeable extent or is it just a very miniscule drop in compression? P.S. How can one know when to NOT unshroud too much? I'm a bit puzzled on that question too. Any advice from more experienced builders is much appreciated.
@@SusedatLubo slr Actually good question on the gasket stuff… I agree I’ve heard similar stuff on same bore or stay +0.5mm OS Personally I don’t see an issue or if there is any? That’s an area like .5-1mm but 0.027” thick so almost nothing? Maybe just maybe if we are talking about 1,000-1,500whp turbo engines yes it might be an issue as it might be a gap where the “combustion” can try to escape the gasket? But then at that rate wouldn’t we be running a copper Oring too? 😂 so I don’t know But much the same on b16 heads running p3f/p8r Headgaskets that are 84mm bore and the b16 chamber is under 81mm hmmm On the deshrouding question… trick way Put a valve (intake) on the chamber Lift it as high as the cams “max lift” prolly below 12.5mm I’m sure Pay attention to the places needed or not needed deshrouding :) That’s one thing :)
@@SRDmotorsports True, I remember a similar story about an acquaintance at a track day worrying why he's not switching over to vtec, another acquaintance mentioned "that's the least of your worries" cause when they checked, the oil was very loooooow and in bad condition and imagine running continuous laps in Subic. 🤣
@@findtherightbeat oh maaaan I remember one time in Clark… at a “Jdm” track day lol An siR by a self proclaimed builder and tuner ran I was watching cuz u know I was young and friends with Pow/Stik we know that dude be active lol 3-4 laps in? U can literally hear rod knocking 😂🤣😂 Ofcourse pride told him to still drive it limping home? Wont admit it cuz he “builder/tuner” but that weekends following Wednesday? He calls up Bong to buy a surplus b16 crank cuz his broke he said To his surprise ? I was sitting next to Bong when he picked it up 7pm hahahahahahaha But I can tell u… his cf hood was atleast polished bfor their track day 😂. Some builder… Oh and a tuner too as claimed lol

Pow wasn’t in the photo as he was the photographer lol back then no cam phone just an archaic yet expensive “digicam” lool Reminder me cuz I drove his Esi was yellow back then for a few laps in BRC no vtec so we checked and bam near empty oil hahahah lucky it didn’t spin a bearing at all we drove out and bought a gallon of oil and filled it up and still lived on But man… I broke a cold as heck sweat back then cuz I last drove it lmao

Maybe just maybe if we are talking about 1,000-1,500whp turbo engines yes it might be an issue as it might be a gap where the “combustion” can try to escape the gasket?
But then at that rate wouldn’t we be running a copper Oring too? 😂 so I don’t know
But much the same on b16 heads running p3f/p8r Headgaskets that are 84mm bore and the b16 chamber is under 81mm hmmm
On the deshrouding question… trick way
Put a valve (intake) on the chamber
Lift it as high as the cams “max lift” prolly below 12.5mm I’m sure
Pay attention to the places needed or not needed deshrouding :)
That’s one thing :)

Well I must say at first I worried about such and Bong did say “mas publemahin mo mga bearing kung ganon”
I got shut down quick eh lmfao!
@@SRDmotorsports True, I remember a similar story about an acquaintance at a track day worrying why he's not switching over to vtec, another acquaintance mentioned "that's the least of your worries" cause when they checked, the oil was very loooooow and in bad condition and imagine running continuous laps in Subic. 🤣
@@findtherightbeat oh maaaan I remember one time in Clark… at a “Jdm” track day lol
An siR by a self proclaimed builder and tuner ran I was watching cuz u know I was young and friends with Pow/Stik we know that dude be active lol
3-4 laps in? U can literally hear rod knocking 😂🤣😂 Ofcourse pride told him to still drive it limping home?
Wont admit it cuz he “builder/tuner” but that weekends following Wednesday? He calls up Bong to buy a surplus b16 crank cuz his broke he said
To his surprise ? I was sitting next to Bong when he picked it up 7pm hahahahahahaha
But I can tell u… his cf hood was atleast polished bfor their track day
😂. Some builder…
Oh and a tuner too as claimed lol
Oh snap with ur Subic story? I suddenly remembered, see the photos on my EG hatch vid? Us friends in BRC ? Pow wasn’t in the photo as he was the photographer lol back then no cam phone just an archaic yet expensive “digicam” lool
Reminder me cuz I drove his Esi was yellow back then for a few laps in BRC no vtec so we checked and bam near empty oil hahahah lucky it didn’t spin a bearing at all we drove out and bought a gallon of oil and filled it up and still lived on
But man… I broke a cold as heck sweat back then cuz I last drove it lmao
@@SRDmotorsports But hey, my acquaintance's and your friend's engines lived to bring them home and be daily'd and race some more 👍
But as for the tuner/builder an expensive lesson because of pride. 😁 Where is this guy from? 😷🤐
would you like to move abroad po and do some mechanic work?
Nah, highly unlikely… unlike most who are anxious to work abroad for their own reasons
I have lived the first half of my life in South Africa and California and so living here is actually a choice plus more than half of my customers come from abroad already 😎
@@SRDmotorsports understandable, love your work. Am looking forward with working with you in the future sa pinas. Stay solid 💯
Thank you and glad the videos are worth watching hehehe
