Re: b20b vs b20z (mikvtec)

Different intake manifolds....the b20b has the big tunnel ram. Also, I am not sure but I though I heard something about the b20b or maybe it was the b20z having a knock sensor?

Both are CRV. The JDM B20B is the same specs as USDM B20Z.

Can be visually identified by the high valve cover...

B20z 99-00

This one has the knock sensor.

Re: b20b vs b20z (Mr.FBR)

Can the B20z Knock-Sensor be bypassed by using a Chipped P28 ECU?

Aren't the problem that some people run into are using VTEC ECU's on the B20b without KNock Sensors?
