type -r 's are nice but a built b20vtec will destroy it in similar cars.
built b20vtec's can easily put out 210 whp plus. just go on honda tech and see for urself.
the motor makes lots of torque. plus evolution type - r y would u compare the stock it - r motor to a stock b20 when what u wanna build is a b20 vtec ?
that motor is in a class of it's own.
everyone is going k series this k series that which don't get me wrong is a bad ass motor but i still think right now a good b20 vtec would give a k series hatch a good run for it's money.
if u wanna do it a lil cheaper get a b18a/b block and bore it out to 84.5 mm. there is ur b20. b20 are kinda hard to come by compared to a Ls block. plus the b20 is the same block as a Ls it's just bored out from factory.
there are tons of guys running very quick with b20vtec and Lsvtecs. shant on this site make lots of power and mark also runs very quick.
