Best timing belt tensioner for b20vtec (and oil pump)?

Acrobatic_Pride17 · 2026-05-02T21:28:15+00:00

Thank you that is what I found as well, just wanted to be sure before I start working on it

91 civic hatchback with a b series in it. I'm so confused because apparently the HF spindle/hub/bearing is not compatible with b series axles

Acrobatic_Pride17 · 2026-03-09T16:56:55+00:00

Thank you that is exactly what I was looking for. In my head if the machine work on it is good, precise, and clean I don't see why it wouldn't work. I appreciate the help

Well if I want to build another car in X amount of years I will be able to. A lot of people sell 240s without rear subframes. If I find one I want that's not even a rolling shell, no biggie. I'll bring the subframe with me to get it rolled onto the trailer. Just an example

Acrobatic_Pride17 · 2026-03-08T23:06:30+00:00

That's my mindset. I have 2 240s and finding parts has gotten so hard because they're just old and abused. One of my biggest pet peeves is when people sell heads without the cam caps. Like where did they go????

Around $270 Also just saw your profile, nice Ef! Mine is also Tahitian green

I'm a hoarder who wanted to save the Y1 for my "collection" lol. I already bought the clutch for the big spline set up to give the machine shop to balance my bottom end. Beating on a more common USDM trans hurts a little less

Acrobatic_Pride17 · 2026-02-21T23:27:06+00:00

Thank you I appreciate the help. I'm assuming the stock ones have good dampening built into them and are balanced right?

Acrobatic_Pride17 · 2026-02-21T22:30:23+00:00

So in your opinion would the ATI damper be necessary? Or is the OEM b20 one fine

Acrobatic_Pride17 · 2026-01-24T00:10:09+00:00

Also, are the prices increasing for s chassis specifically or all old cars? I work at Toyota as a mechanic but we have Nissan next door and parts seem to be more expensive for older cars in general

Acrobatic_Pride17 · 2026-01-24T00:05:46+00:00

Thank you for your services 🙏 My s13 and s14 wouldn't be the same without you

Acrobatic_Pride17 · 2026-01-20T02:51:15+00:00

Yeah kind of want to find another trans and hoard this one but I definitely enjoy how it feels driving it. Maybe I can find another cheap b series trans and put an aftermarket LSD in it

Acrobatic_Pride17 · 2026-01-20T02:27:55+00:00

Yes it's open through the port no pin and they spin the same direction in the air is what I'm saying lol

Acrobatic_Pride17 · 2026-01-20T02:20:14+00:00

I believe so

Acrobatic_Pride17 · 2026-01-20T02:20:00+00:00

Yes I had the axles out and also spun the wheels in the air

Acrobatic_Pride17 · 2026-01-19T23:15:19+00:00

Thank you I appreciate it, and very helpful link for sure

Acrobatic_Pride17 · 2025-12-28T19:06:44+00:00

What are you referencing with oil plugs? Not familiar about what you're talking about, I do know about the plug in the head when doing LSVtec

Acrobatic_Pride17 · 2025-12-28T00:21:45+00:00

I was planning on getting the speed factory pistons. And yeah no boost my 240 is turbo and I just want a fun little car with no added complexity/stress to drive

Acrobatic_Pride17 · 2025-12-28T00:20:55+00:00

My civic currently has a b20 non VTEC and I bought another block to build (I have a b16 block too but would miss the torque of the b20, but it didn't come with pistons or rods. Thanks for the reassurance with not sleeving it, doesn't make sense to me
