I am in the process of doing this build and ever so often, little questions arise and I just need to know if I am on the right track with it. I thought of doing this build ever since I got my B16 a year ago. I started acquiring parts couple weeks ago but it wasn't until last week when my motor blew (one week after hydrolocking) that I see the need to hurry the build. I need the car to be a everday driver, occasional drag car. . .maybe once every two months. I am concentrating on the bottom end for now, will do the head later on.

Parts I already have:
B20B block. . .stripped bare leaving only crank.
B16A2 motor. . .block has hole, head is stock and ok.
New GSR oil pump.
KMS block guard.
GSR water pump, timing belt and seals.
Eagle H beam rods (ordered and on its way).
Chipped P28 and Hondata S200. . .no conversion harness yet.

Parts to be ordered:
ARP headstuds
Golden Eagle LS/VTEC conversion kit
Wiseco pistons. . .not certain of CR yet.
ACL racing bearings.

What am I missing as far as getting the motor together is concerned?
What compression pistons should I get if I want to attain 11:1 with the B16 head?
Does all B-series motors use the same bearings. . .main, rods, thrust washers?

All and any help will be appreciated, thanks.

Edit: Placed times and current setup to 1st page. Original is on page 3.

Your engine is capable of 8000rpm no problem. If you want to rev it higher you could install a block girdle for added strength. Just like the b18 engines. If I were you, I would also stick with stage1 cams. Also do not make the mistake most people do and use an ITR/skunk2 intake manifold. Keep the stock B16 intake manifold as it performs better up to 8000rpm. A 62-64mm throttle body wouldn't hurt though.

I'll keep the IM and TB info in mind.
