im thinking about swapping a b20 engine into my 98 ex, but i wanted to know how much hp does the b20 put out? (no vtec)?

 

some were around 140 bot some hella tq

 

so whast the difference between hp and torque, touque is off the line right?

 

If you are in CA...it is illegal. Just a head up

 

why is it illegal?

 

Light suv engine in a small car. Check your DMV if you don't believe me. I'll won't get it pass inspection.

 

no i beleive you i was just wondering why

 

a light truck engine isnt supposed to be in a passenger car

 

I have a b20b swap in my civic but I am in Iowa though .

An ls motor is basically the same as a b20 with an 81mm bore. Bore the LS to 84mm and your have yourself a b20. Then it will pass inspection.

 

i built a b20 vtec about a yr ago, dropped it in a 99 EX, used stock harness and ECU, ran great and the person i did it for is a buddy of mine, says it still runs good. he doesnt change the ecu bcz it dosent allow him to red line to high rpm...dont know how much HP or whether is legal or not but its hella fast lol
