yes

civictildeath

how many performance parts can you get for a b20?? i havent found many so why wpuld you swap that verses say a b18

WCI

I would say LS because the cylinder walls are thicker

It depends on what kind of build your planning to do. Personally I would go b18b because they are a dime a dozen, they are cheap, and they can handle more rpm then a b20 in stock form.

Luserkid

Go with 2.0 its bigger. Tear it appart to nothing and build. Better then boring out to a 2.0

The Specialist

B20 all the way, fast and reliable.

i like this thread... anyways, i would go with B18b/b16tranny.

i hav a b20 with a b16 tranny in my civic, and it PULLS like crazy!! ...

I'd still prefer b18b.

i THINK, the more u build b20, the less gear u hav... like RPM wise. sumone quote this and re-word it so it makes sum more sense!

hopefully this will answer your question i have had both setups and both with b16 trans and both were in my h/b

my first swap was a ls with b16 trans i then went to the ls vtec i loved it i was taking out si's gsr's a few hype r's also the mustang and the camero crowd

i then rode with a friend who had a b20 vtec with gsr trans and the tq that he had was amazing you dident have to jump into the higher rpms to pass on the freeway

so i sold my lsvtec and bought a preassmbled b20vtec and another b16 trans with lsd and i loved it the pwr it had it was great mind you at the time i was only 18 yrs old so i havent really drivin anything that fast i then put the bottle on it and it was a beautiful thing but to make a long story short i got of teh bottle and went boosted and got a lillte to happy with boost and motor went bye bye

so i dont think i helped you but thats my exp with it

The same parts you find for the B18 will work on a B20! For the exception of the bore, they are the same motor.

Lee_Delso

K20 anyone?


I say go B20, more tq more fun.

so true , and you can sleeve it just for some more security

ProJectCvic

if money is not an issue...go for the b20.

Fate

buy a b20. run a b18 head(for intake and exhaust and to run 404s and such). run an-r header and blox intake. crower 404s w/ your choice of race valvetrain. msd ignition. hondata tuning.

thats basically mine but I have decided to go and take mine from a 2.0 to 2.2 and have it sleeved.

I would go w/ a B20Z. It has the thicker sidewalls and can stand more power. The B20B is just a B18 bored out to 84mm and is less stable than both the B20Z and the B18. And there are plenty of mods for all of these motors as B-series parts swap in and out w/ no problem.

HUMMM...i didn't know that ...i might have to do some research on this when my finals are done. I seriously doubt this though. Thicker side wall...show me Anyone have inputs?

mwieczorek43

I've had experience with both.
The torque from the B20 is amazing. My buddy has a b20vtec.... his 5th gear feels like my 3rd gear!
Go w/ the B20.
