With any b20 you buy you'll also need a ecu and a hydro tranny.

I don't know why anyone would pick a B18B over a B20. I never liked my B18B. The power was ALOT less than the B16A. And torque was nothing to write home about. I was MUCH happier when I pulled that slug and went with a B20Z. I guess there must be alot of B18B owners out there with 'ZC syndrome'.

Torque is better than the b16a . Hey, I don't have 'ZC syndrome', I just got the b18b because it was one of the cheapest b series motor I could get that corresponded with the year of my car . As soon as I blow it, I will see the B20 under my hood, muhahahahahahaha

I think your alittle confused, or maybe it's me. Just because it's a LS transmission doesn't mean it's a cable tranny. You would need a hydro tranny if your planning to put it in a car that is set up for a hydro transmission.
