I thinking of swapping a new engine into my car and I remember this red hatch in my area that had a B20 in it. Everyone who rode in it said it was fast as ****. I'm curious as to the specs on the B20 and what you guys think of it.

 

»Engine Code: B20B
»Year: 97-98
»Valve train: DOHC, 16 Valve
»Transmission: Hydraulic
»Displacement:2.0L
»Horsepower: 126HP
> Comp ratio: 8.8 (correct me if im wrong on these CR)

»Engine Code: B20z
»Year: 99-00
»Valve train: DOHC, 16 Valve
»Transmission: Hydraulic
»Displacement:2.0L
»Horsepower: 143HP
> Comp ratio: 9.x

What kind of potential does the B20 have? Would it be worth the work?

 

it a good motor to work with in my opinion...but you would have to upgrade alot of things...let me ask you first if you get this motor...what are your plans? ALL motor? Turbo?... it a beast when it Crvtec check

this place has alot of info on b20 swaps and it also a beast if you boost it up my main concern i like to point if you dont already know is that the cylinder walls on the b20 is soo thin it can not handle alot of pressure... either you have to get upgrades for it if you plan to do some series damage with power but as for just a plan motor swap you will love the torque...if you want vtec i would recommend going with GSR becuz with b20/vtec if the change is not done correctly it will cost time and money alot! read and search around alot of people have complain that it break down to quick and alot of people love it "only if its done correctly"

just my .02 cent bro good luck

ps. i got one in my garage waiting to get boost...cant wait!
