B20 in a Type R?
It's not a matter of spending money, it's a matter of wasting it. The only reason to use a B20 block, is so it says "B20", otherwise, it's better to resleeve you stock block, you'll get as much if not more power, and since you're sleeves will be thicker, it'll also be basically bullet proof. Plus it saves you the expense of puting all sort sof extra parts just for it to work right.
In the case of not having a motor, and just having a B20 sitting around, that's about the only good reason I could think of for starting that kind of a project.
In any case, good luck.....

I've been to rice-boi shops that didn't even know what Toda Racing was, well they advised me to do a cr-vtec swap and boosting it because it's a type R head on the lower compression b20b block. The thing they don't know is that the b20 wasn't designed to rev up to 8400 RPM + like the ITR was. IF your going to boost an R do it right. I've heard more bad than good news about hybrid ls/cr-vtec swaps. I just laugh at people dumb enough to boost their R's because they like the sound of the BOV. And this kid that has the cr-vtec R....haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
