Nothing more is required than would be with the LS motor. The only thing to keep in mind is that most B20 longblocks don't come with an alternator, and some don't come with other accessories, so you'll have to hunt down a few more bits and pieces.

A B20 runs great on a p75 ecu (LS)... plug and play :thumbup: (I have one, if you wanna buy it :naughty: )

:edit: i forgot. Something else is required... you'll need to change out the intake manifold on a B20B to an LS manifold. The B20B one is too tall, you wont be able to close your hood. W/ a B20Z, you can probably fit the whole thing under your hood.

Its B-series the same way the dohc D16A (1st gen teg motor) is a D-series. Doesn't share anything with its B-series brethren. Although technically, yes, it is a b-series.

some parts from a DOHC D series do bolt onto the SOHC motors. absolutely nothing from a prelude B20 will work with any B series motor. the mounts on the DOHC and SOHC D series motors are the same. the mounts on the prelude B20 are completely different than those of the B series motors. anything else you'd like to try?

i'm not trying to argue, I'm just saying its the redheaded stepchild, much like the D16a.

I didn't mean to come of as being mean, sorry. nothing wrong with a good discussion. B series or not, it's just not a good engine(nothing against the owners).
