Default my b20z2 swap

Well I just bought a B20z2 for my 92 cx hatch. and basically I am in need of some help/input with the swap.



As you can see in the pic there is some things that are missing, alternator, tranny, need some new injectors, and other knick knacks.

So far today I have removed the POS manifold and Intake manifold and cleaned it up a bit.




Going to need:
B series hydro tranny
integra shift linkage
obd1 dizzy
alternator
starter
injectors


OBD2 to OBD1 help?



So basically any help would be greatly appreciated! thanks

for the harness if you are using ODB2 componets get a +96+ LS harness if you plan on using OBD1 componets get a 94-95 LS harness.

componets = dizzy, alt, injectors

gl

* it doesn't matter if you choose OBD 1 or 2 componets they should not affect performance, just use what ever you can get cheaper*

its only like 8 points higher than a b20b. b20b is 8.8:1 youre 9.6:1. But it makes for more fun while driving.

good luck.

Well that mere 8 point higher c/r is a difference of 126hp on the b20b and 146 on the B20z. I actually use to own a 94 integra with a b20b swap and managed to pull a 14.8 pretty much stock. so im excited to see what this crv powered cx hatch is gunna do! thanks for the help guys, just got the flex plate off and the dizzy installed along with getting all the grime and crap off the block.

I agree you don't need vtec to have fun w/ a B20z2... just toss in some crower cams and go. I have a B20z2 + GSR tranny swap for sale BTW
