Probably not. But you sure as hell won't get anywhere near the 12's with a stock B20 or B16 piece of shit swap either.

lol all honda engines suck basically...lol
b18s are ok, b18c5 are badass other than that the outputs are slow and not very powerful, just my opinion, that is why i am doing a b18c5 swap into my crx

I'm a big fan of B20's if you know it's limits and have someone with a good idea of how to tune properly. They can put down some big numbers, even without a sleeve.

But, it is just my opinion. As long as the risks of cracked sleeves are assumed and the laughable amount of extra torque gained from the B20 over B18 is something you want to deal with, go for it.

Too much torque for a light car isn't a good thing, right? I mean, if you want to build a motor for insane numbers then sure, why not a B20 built properly. But if you want a car that will perform well, and stick to the road, then finding the best torque/weight ratio for your application is probably best.
I'm not a 'know-it-all'...that just makes sense to me.
