how many people on this board have one in their integra? I was thinking about putting a b20b into my teg once i have enough $$. Im assuming since its pretty much an ls engine that it'll bolt up pretty damn easy.....right? Any replies will be greatly appreciated.

 

If you just want a B20 in there and aren't gonna do anything to it, then get the B20Z. More hp and newer

could someone post the crvtec website? I thought it was crvtec.com but i guess i was wrong

 

Why? Get your current block sleeved out to 2 liters!

 

it's www.crvtec.com

but i haven't been able to view the page for a loooong time

i think it's down

 

B20 :thumbup:

 

Whats up eddie? Still haven't sold the car yet? Is everything working right now??

 

waddup meng! hows ur car running?

yeah my car is back in running position...better than before if anything... new axles, seals, gaskets, cleaned filter.... the only thing is i need a new spark plug wire from my coil to the distributor cap...but no luck selling still

 

hmm...how much would that cost? so youre saying to get it resleeved to 2 liters? or bore it out to 84mm? that might be a better idea than getting a b20...

 

It'll be much more expensive and you'll have to pull the motor in your car either way. If you want to just put a B20 in your car and not do much to it I don't see the point, you won't be significantly faster. It's essentially just an LS motor bored out to 84mm from the factory. The heads are pretty much the same, the cams are the same, the rods and cranks are the same, etc. If you get a B20B (97-98 CRV) you'll actually have less power since it only makes 126 hp. The B20Z (99-01) makes 146 hp but is generally harder to find. You can get a much bigger boost in power from a nice set of cams in an LS motor (after you've done the requisite i/h/e) than a stock B20Z.

Now the part which I tack onto every sort of general inquiry like this: what exactly are you trying to accomplish here? Think of a performance goal (either an hp figure or a 1/4 mile time or whatever) and then try to figure out how to meet that goal. You'll get much more useful responses.

 

the b20 might be "just an LS motor bored out to 84mm" but its not the same. i have a bone stock as can be B20 and i run as quick as GSR's with boltons, B16 anything (besides built ones) are a joke, and most LS's are just as slow as the b16's. when i had the LS engine with a mild built head, i was running even to B16's with boltons (hybrids and Si coupes). cost me less than $1000 for the B20, but on the other hand i spent way more than that on parts and labor just for the built LS head and dyno time.
