B20 bottom end Q's?
Thinking of doing a B20 bottom end on a B16 head.
*Does the B20 bottom end use the same engine mounts as the B16? will it bolt into my '94 EG HB?
*What work/parts has to be done/needed to bolt the two together (better head gasket etc etc?
*Is it worth while or should i just get pistons of a ek9 type R and raise the compression instead??
thanks for any help!!

Well,I don't know about the engine mounting. But definately you feel much more power on low end cause bigger displacement. Check this site:

Just like an ls/vtec but with a b20 bottom end.
Yes it's the same motor mounts.
No I cant answer your question as to if it's worth while as I have no idea what you have in store for your car, thats something your going to have to answer on your own.

You'll need to at least replace the rod bolts in the B20 block to hold up to daily 8k rpms. You'll also need a Golden Eagle VTEC Conversion kit for the headgasket, dowel pins, oil lines and fittings necessary for the VTEC head going onto a nonVTEC block.
