Hey, Friends! Welcome back to the channel! I am VERY short on time and I had to make a decision on which option I wanted to pursue. Charlie and I settled on an B18B1, Integra LS bottom end that he had on hand. Why not just go K-series you ask? Two things... Time and money.
Also, I just wanted to say how appreciative I am of the homie, Charlie. He didn't have to do anything, but decided to contribute his time and parts into making sure the EG is back up and running. I am forever grateful for this dude.

We understand and we can relate bro, I'm glad you won't miss any more events

@bvspeed Год назад

Thank you! 🙏🏼

@GooseWurkz Год назад

Loving this series and your filming and editing style, keep up the great work!

@bvspeed Год назад

You’re one of not very many who give me feedback on the video quality/style! Haha thank you, glad you enjoy it!

@GooseWurkz Год назад

@@bvspeed Thanks man, I literally just tonight finished doing a full GSR brake swap on my EG (rear disc, front disc/cali/knuckle, teg booster and MC, stainless lines all around, WOW the night and day difference in braking, Your videos keep me motivated building my track EG!

@miguelparrilla9065 Год назад

Good luck 👍🏻 I hope you finish at time. Don’t worry ,sometimes the the things happen for one reason .

Stay B series just keep a spare LS bottom end

@bvspeed Год назад

Yessir! For now, that’s what it’ll be!

@bobbyvue332 Год назад

White T-Shirt mechanic….very relatable @charlie.moua.doryoku! We’re all still waiting for you to K-swap, that day will come…we’ve all been there with the “B” engines. Good stuff tho Brian, LFG!

@bvspeed Год назад

Haha thanks man! The K will come one day…

@mathewtsab Год назад

Heck yea bro. LSvtec is no slouch either. I had a LS vtec setup I built with CTR pistons. Monster engine, definitely more reliable then a b20 setup. I did arp rod bolts and pro2 cams and revved it out to 9,500rpms trying to blow it up cause being my first personal build, I took a short cut and didn’t bore it out. It would not blow. I just ended up going 84.5 ITR piston b20 block cause I had to try to keep up with k series. Good stuff bro, you’re gonna love that setup. I made 210whp with my CTR piston LSvtec on pro2 cams

@bvspeed Год назад

That’s basically what this setup is. LS bottom end with CTR pistons. Full valve train and Pro 2 cams. Did you run E85 also? We’re estimating that this is going to make around the same power as the last setup.

@mathewtsab Год назад

@@bvspeed no e85 for me, my car was tuned on crap 91 octane gas with conservative timing. Can’t wait to see what your motor does.

@know1n359 Год назад

everyone thinks the can do wide open throttle pulls without tuning!! this is the result of detonation the b20's do not like it AT ALL. b20v is a great reliable motor when done right. glad to see you are back on the road!

@bvspeed Год назад

This setup was tuned. There’s no way I’d take a setup like this untuned, but yes, glad to be back up and running!

@montevallomustang Год назад

The k series may be more reliable and more powerful, but the b series sounds more raw and exciting. Luckily I don't circuit race my b20v and try to keep a few spare blocks in my shop in case I hurt one. It does seem a little silly to have this many spare parts for a daily driver

@bvspeed Год назад

Haha never hurts to have spares!

@chensueher1393 Год назад

B for the win!! Im a OG..

@bvspeed Год назад

@BigRichard_ 2 месяца назад

I've been running my b20v for years..zero problems on track.

@bvspeed Месяц назад

Lucky you! I had a high compression setup with a built head though.

@BigRichard_ Месяц назад

@@bvspeed yeah I'm 12:1 comp on e85, skunk2 pro 2 cams. Zero iessues. Stock rods ARP rod bolts, spin it to 9,300 all the time. GSR trans but 4.9FD from gear X. I do plan on making another motor though. Everyone seems to crack sleeves but me.

@scottg1962 25 дней назад

@BigRichard_ that's fire bro, similar build to mine. 13.5 compression e85 stock rods arp rod bolts and head studs, kelford 176C cams 75 shot nitrous

@BigRichard_ 25 дней назад

@@scottg1962 yeah we don't drag race, I do road racing and some time attack. We have a boosted lsvtec eg coupe we do hillclimbs with and some time attack also.

@scottg1962 25 дней назад

@BigRichard_ I hear that, I also prefer road racing and autox vs drag. That's why I love these kelford cams, flat torque curve

@MrMike8300 Год назад

I just upgraded my LSV to B20V. I'm keeping the LSV as a spare just incase!

@bvspeed Год назад

I’m sure it’ll be fine in a street car, but always good to have a spare!

@MrMike8300 Год назад

@@bvspeed Do you know what ultimately caused the failure? Aggressive tune? Inadequate cooling? When I take my B20v to the track I’m thinking a few cool down laps are required and no more then 2-3 hot laps at a time.

@kendallwoodhouse2811 5 месяцев назад

What wiseco pistons did you use for the b18/b16? Did you have any clearance problems?

@bvspeed 5 месяцев назад

They’re Nippon pistons

@uses0ap Год назад

Is your coolant temp reading off the OE sensor + ECU or an aftermarket standalone gauge/sensor ?

@bvspeed Год назад

Reading off the OEM sensor, then the S300 Bluetooth’s it to my tablet.

@S2000Pat Год назад

What's your next event? Is the LS a short term solution to get you back on track or you going to stick with it long term?

@bvspeed Год назад

Next event is Mid-O with NASA in exactly one week 😬 and yes, you’re correct. It is only short term. The goal is to finish the next couple events to progress through the HPDE program then comp school in August. It literally only needs to last another 4 events then I’m taking the second half of the year off. These past few months have been $$$ lol then… maybe K 👀

@CarlosSalvador7_ 5 месяцев назад

Hey by any chance do you know where his shop is located? im building a lsvtev b18 i just need the block bore out and to install the pistons and rods lmk bro! Im in the chicago area as well

@bvspeed 5 месяцев назад

He’s in Minnesota, but not really working on engines right now.

@mirandalozano13 Год назад

Was this a stock B20 block? Now I'm scared! I got a b20 block from ramey racing for my em1 and doing gsr head plus all appropriate add ons/tune...but I'm not planning to race it, only street driving 😅

@bvspeed Год назад

The block itself was stock, yes. But the pistons were different which bumped the compression up to almost 13:1. You’ll be fine as I don’t think you’ll be ripping on it as hard as I was lol. My car is a dedicated track car so it sees nothing but abuse haha

@notone4029 Год назад

You are SO fortunate to have a Pro Honda engine builder friend like Charlie. I take back my earlier K swap comment. You have a titan B18 so you GUCCI now! Send it!

@bvspeed Год назад

Haha! I am very fortunate!

@draffstar Год назад

everyone said K is the way. I understand but I love the B series just like the guys who love single jingle, the same as the H

@bvspeed Год назад

Haha for sure! There’s just something about them…

@kaybevang536 8 месяцев назад

K is cool in all but I like to challenge myself like a b series Or d series build

@thatloudCG5 9 месяцев назад

Definitely going to be avoiding a B20V like the plague after seeing what happened to yours. Cracked cylinder = basically similar to what the 996 911s suffer from: CYLINDER/BORE SCORING.

@bvspeed 9 месяцев назад

Haha, yeah. LS is better for sure.

@findtherightbeat Год назад

Hope you don't mind me asking, what's your full time job, Brian? Sorry, just curious as I've observed that you know how to wrench on each and every part of the car.

@findtherightbeat Год назад

Is the HR shirt in 2:49 of the video telling of some future plans? 😉

@findtherightbeat Год назад

Liked the editing done during the engine building section of the video 👍

@bvspeed Год назад

I don’t mind at all! I’m the Chief Technician at a supercar driving experience company in Chicago. Been wrenching on cars prior to this job, but it’s what really got me into driving! I actually have HR products on the car! Haha! Hoping to actually put them on a K in the future… Glad you liked the engine building. I always saw it as something therapeutic so I figured the music would give that vibe.

@findtherightbeat Год назад

@@bvspeed That explains it! 🍻 Also, K is nice but LS is good too, anything to get it up and running for seat time. 👍🏾 I haven't pored over the playlist of your car build but will be going over it during my free time, I appreciate your effort of documenting it. I mean it takes time to build a car from the ground up, but it also takes a lot of time to edit all of it. Have a great weekend ahead 🍻

@joshtheking1772 5 месяцев назад

Has nothing to do with "Go K Swap" at all. Here is your problem. You didn't do an install of an upper cylinder brace with a torque plate. At high RPM your cylinders are walking from left to right turning your cylinders into a peanut shape. It took me three blocks to find this out. After installing a cylinder brace with a machine shop securing it after using a torque plate, the problem is all but gone. My friend had a similar problem but come to find out his issue was caused by using a B18C head on a B20 block and after switching to a B16 head and getting the proper Bore to Stroke Ratio corrected his issue went away. Welcome to racing.

@MrEliasdl 5 месяцев назад

Keep the B alive. You can't beat havin the OG engine that started it all. Buy a K and store it until the day keeoing the B alive is no longer possible.

@bvspeed 5 месяцев назад

Trying my best, but B-series is just too hard to find parts for 😢we’ll see what happens

@@bvspeed Oh I understand that time made the LSVTEC the logical choice in order to be ready for the next event. What I meant was that going forward a sleeved B20 block will still be cheaper than doing a whole Kswap.
