Ive got a b16 in a 94 hatch(OBD1) and im goin to do cr/vtec I was just wondering does it matter what yr B20b block I get...I would think it doesnt matter because no sensors hook up 2 the block,but can someone shed some light for me

 

I think the B20Z (99 CRV) is the one to get because it was made with a little higher compression (9.8 or something). Someone correct me if im wrong.

I'm 99.9% sure that is correct

As far as I know the blocks are the same. So it shouldn't really matter.

 

B20B-Z blocks are the same.. I believe the later model B20Z they basically used a LS head to bump compression..

All mounts and bolt holes are the same.. only real diff is you have to use the B20 T-Belt, and run the -6an line to the back of the head and plug the old oil passage on the bottom of the head..

I highly reccomend using P/N:ARP-208-4306 from http://www.summitracing.com when you build it.. Using the B16 bolts just don't feel or torque right and if you're not careful you'll pull the threads out of the block.. I've built several engines using these studs and it couldn't work any better..

Good luck on your 200HP B20 buildup..

 

so my motor mounts will work on either b20b or z no matter what yr the block is?

 

Yep.. B-series is all the same.. you could cram any B16,B17,B18,B20 in there using the same mounts..

Not I don't think you are going to be able to use ur stock mounts...you would be better off using 94= Integra mounts...or buy a set from Hasport.com....the integra mounts are cheaper of course...

That is incorrect. A B16 driver's side mount is different from an LS mount. The studs sit at a slight angle while on the LS they do not have such an angle.

well the only thing that changes from b20b to the b20z is the pistons thats why it has little higher compression but no one is going to keep those pistons if they wanna make some power.
