Today i test drove a 90 crx, with b20 98 crv swap. 126@5400 rpm i beleive. Just wondering if i were to put a vtec head on it , would there be a noticable gain? Or should i forget the crv motor and go with a 1.8ls? Thanks in advaaaaaaaance.

Yes, there would be a good gain with a VTEC head.

 

ok... If i were looking for parts, will anything fit on the engine? Since it's a b series?


im t3h noob

 

depends what parts, the vtec head isn't just a bolt on and go deal... what are you looking to do?

Yes there will be a lot more power

 

thanks for the link, I dont know yet. I'll come back when i get the car tomorrow and figure out what to do. thanks

What all do i need when replacing the head for a vtec head?

dood, search, this is nothing new in HT and b20vtec goes through the same steps as LSvtec. If you cant find anything when you search post back up and i'll find you more than 20 threads.

 

get a ls/vtec oil kit for golden eagle or some place like that....

btw: who did your swap.(if you don't mind me asking).

scroll down till you find the LSvtec links.

 

No clue, a asian dude in N. richland hills, i think it's called speeline or something.

look here... its the dfw tread always stuff for sale in there..

 

Do you know any good shops for swaps? I'm thinking this b20 is alot more work then i thought. Drilling and tapping and blah blah blah oil. Doesnt the ls1.8 come vtec?

 

No, the LS does not come with VTEC.

The LS motor is the EXACT same for all intents and purposes as a B20, the B20 just has a larger bore and weaker sleeves.

B20 Vtec is NOT a lot of work.

It can be done in an afternoon.

It can be done well in a day.

 

do it.... i plan on doing that exact swap.. i got a 90 si and it has a b16a w/y1 trans w/lsd and iam getting a b20b block and swaping it..
