Default B20?

I am looking to do an engine swap for my 96 EK and try and save some cash. So my friend at work told me to go with a B20 and then get a GSR head. He said the B20 has more torqe and with the GSR head will be faster than a straight up GSR, and much cheaper. Im worried about a couple things though,

-Will I be able to pass smog in CA?
-My friend said hes not sure if the B20 is OBD2 or not
-Is it difficult to go this route rather than getting a GSR full swap? Obviously its cheaper

Im trying to get the most HP for the least amount of money.

b20vtec suxxorz....

just get a gsr swap avoid the hassles. gsr revs higher than a b20vtec should.... most people will rev a b20vtec higher anyways but you need oil squirters and a gsr girdle to do it safely....


so like i said... just get a gsr swap

In addition to what the above poster recommended, I will answer this question for you.

No it will not pass smog, you will not be able to bar it cause you are trying to swap in a light duty truck engine into a passenger car.

Most horsepower for least money= single slam turbo

But I would go with a gsr. The crvtec isn't as reliable or high revving n has thin cylinder walls. Plus you won't pass smog at all
