hehehe, you have to do some more research....

Older B20A's found in the ludes cannot be used

you want to use either a B20B or B20Z found in CRV's

You can use pretty much any DOHC VTEC head from a B-Series eg, B16, or B18C's

here is a bit of a guide for you... but from your post I would recommend getting some help or paying a shop to do it. No offence but you don't seem to be that educated wtih Honda motors, and the last thing you want is it grenading 1k up the road.

Good Luck

well dude the only motors i work with b16a and the b18c1 i dont knoe nething about b20 series. i have my own shop thank you and i do all my own work yes i knoe that post was a noobish but it was 4am when i wrote it. i just looked into the frankenstein motors. also what tranie and ecu do i use. i cant find any info on it also i knoe you cant use the ecu cause well first of all it's a non-vtec block and a vtec head so should i use a b16a2 ecu or what? and what about axles too. plus the injectors for the cylinder head are gonna be less than what i need so should i do a 300+cc since its a 2liter it needs larger injectors right? cuase the b16a2 uses a 270cc injector. do you know where i can find info on all this

you can use almost any b-series alxes, shift linkage, ecu's depending on if ur goin obd1,obd2a, or obd2b? tranny's all b-series bolt right up...just because its a 2.0L doesnt mean it needs bigger injectors. running stock 240cc or 270cc would be just fine to run on a stock b20vtec with u know headers/intake/exhaust or even just stock. with a b16 head on a b20b you'll be running 9 compression....with a b20z and b16 you'll be running 10 compression. i'd personally rather go w/ the b20z because the compression is higher more hp...and i've personally built a b20bvtec and bored over .5 b20zvtec block....so if you need any help or any question just feel free to PM me...
