Yes B20's are a very good engine. Unfortunatly, A CR-VTEC is NOT an easy thing to do. I'd only reccomend it if you are exremely experinced in the Honda engine feild.

Once they are running, they are amazing, some say the best "swap" you can do.

But remember, it's going to cost a **** load, and it's going to be VERY hard work.

I'd go with something like a B16A, or a B18B. Obviosly B18C1 if you have the money.

You could always build your Z6? Boost it? Not a bad idea either...

Just do a B20Z swap..you'll be more than happy...

Later on in the future, you can always VTEC it...or turbo it...

A B20Z has PLENTLY of torque. My friend has a CRV and the torque is monstrous. Way better torque than an "Si". B20Z's come with 146hp and I think 13_ torque compared to the ***** B16A2. (No offense to the owners of B16A2's but it's the truth, they have no torque) ...Anyways....your car should run pretty quick....15's for sure you're gonna be looking at...probably less...
