97 EK hatch, B20Z, Type R tranny
It's a non-vtec yet. I'm planning to put B20Z and Type R tranny into 97 EK hatch.
I know I still have a lot to learn. Does anybody have the same project out there? Or does anybody have a write up? Any info would be appreciated.

Re: 97 EK hatch, B20Z, Type R tranny
Its like any other B series swap.
Find yourself the b20z, Change the intake manifold incase it comes with the giraffe intake. And install the transmission.
A buddie has that setup and he loves it ( he has a lsd b16 transmission, similar ).
find an obd1 ecu, get it chipped and tuned and your golden.

Re: 97 EK hatch, B20Z, Type R tranny
As far as ecu's go you have a few options.....
if you want to keep running OBDII, use a real crv ecu
If jumping back to OBDI as i did, i tried two different ecu's
- 1995 intgra ls ecu 5sp P75- worked ok but didn't like to idle as smooth
- 1993 integra ls 5sp PR4- worked awesome!!!

The high compression B20Z or late model jdm still called the B20B ALL have the low style intake manifold, no need to change it!

Re: 97 EK hatch, B20Z, Type R tranny
Any header will work, If you can get a ITR replica 4-1 they seem to work good on the 2.0 litres.
Also if you alrady got a B18b OBD2a ecu , get a VAFC or SAFC , and get it tuned ( you will add a little fuel up top .) I found the integra ecu runs alean the last few hundred RPM with the b20 .
