theres a guy who owns a shop in the OC, cali that has the setup mentioned on the topic. what are the cons and pros. i know its possible cus i seen it but it takes up too many mods. oil lines, reinforced bottom, etc.

b20vtecs have been around for a looooong time.

 

lol, first time i hear it and ive been around jdm 'junkies' a long time that have said it was impossible. thanks for the 411, i appreciate it.

 

not a difficult one to build. I didn't build my own (bought car already swapped) but it just requires some offset head dowels and the vtec oil line from what I understand. Dyno numbers are alright, doesn't have a balanced bottom end like the b18c and b16a motors do so I don't rev it too high. also the b20 bottom end has thin cylinderwalls from what I understand, so the block isn't that strong for building up.

But IMHO stock bottom end with b16a head and i/h/e is plenty fast for a DD. Mine pulled 178whp and 145ft/lbs and has no problem going fast when I kick the spurs...

 

thanks again,,, i was wonderin if anyone had some schematics or webfo for this type of swap. im highly interested cus a buddy of mine has the nicest jdm style prelude si sith a b20 and he doesnt really want to mod the engine bay or tweak around. thanks in advance
