I just read in the June Super Street that their pick for a "sick swap" in an Integra is the B20B motor. I've never heard of it. Is it the S2000 engine?

CRV engine. You would have to add a some B series VTEC head to it (GSR for instance). Aka CRVtec.

 

What the....how much HP does that engine produce?

 

over 200 hp easy and over 200 lbs of torque. I've seen 236hp and 223 tq

 

I have a b20b. Its turboed too and cranking 300+ HP

To tell you the truth, if you put a B20B (NOVTEC) into an LS, you won't notice much or any difference at all. If you put it into a GSR, you will notice weaaaak top end.

But if you turbo it...thats a different story!!!

 

B20 = CRV motor.
2.0 liter B series motor, practically a direct drop in for any 3rd Gen Integra.

There is a local guy that has an ITR head on a B20 stock bottom end, in his GSR coupe with his original GSR tranny, exhaust and ecu.
I was in my GSR sedan with LSD, ITR cams, full header/exhaust and a JUN ECU.
I raced him on freeway entrances over ten times one night trying different start scenarios/speeds and he is a bit faster than me. ALways got a jump on me off the line and pulled a one to two carlengths ahead. Even up top he was able to retain the lead but I bet his motor will blow soon since he never beefed up the B20 to handle 8000+ rpms.... bad man, very, very bad man!

Both of us were untuned, very untuned.

After that I decided to agree that there is no replacement for displacement.

Super Street is the epitimy of all car mags. All ads, no tech info. Dont buy that ****.

I'm pretty sure you can use the B18C head without problem. Someone correct me if I'm wrong..
