im thinkin about puttin a b20 in my 92 eg sedan
i really want a vtec motor tho
but im going wit the b20 for now til i can get money for a vtec head
i have $1500 to spend and im going to order one off line for $800 with no tranny
im sure i need ls IM and a b series 5-speed tranny, mount and linkage,ecu
whatelse will i need

ive done an ls swap in my 92 hatch im sure its not much different right

and i know they say a b20 cant rev past 7000rpms without block damage or sleeves but i was wounder has anyone ever gotten near 8000-not daily but maybe on the strip

 

dont go past 7k ,there is no power with a stock b20 past 7k...

start there.

 

PasswordJDM has a sale going for a B20 right now at 549.99

 

run a b-16 tranny that **** would be pretty quick and yes you can rev that high but there is no power there you'll just run slower that way

oh yeah and you may way to get some decent like stage 1 or 2 axles ( torque man )

otherwise its the same ****

 

If you had a B16 transmission and a B20B/C you would have a very nice low to mid rpm torque curve. If you replace your stock flywheel with a Streetlight Flywheel from AEM you would also have a few extra hp/tq and it would rev quite fast (I had the same setup until I got a GSR head slapped onto it). I'm actually considering a B20 in my 2000EK just because I like the torque and it gets decent gas mileage for going to school and work until I'm school. Once I'm done I'll put the B20 into my other hatch and put a K in my EK....wow I got off topic..sorry.

 

were you go to school bro i live in reiserstown

 

1500 might not be enough. but if you can do it do it. i just finished a swap for a friend. its a 99 b20B with a gsr tranny and st 1 clutch. it pulls hard for being all stock

 

I'm 24 and I'm in Kuwait at the moment...but I was living in Conowingo. I'll be moving to Pa for UTI when I get back in August.

 

I live in Newport News VA
you guys are really gettin my hopes up about this b20
i think ill stick with it
I dont want to sound dumb but on password JDM it say longblock only
i know than means no tranny, ecu, or mounts but what does come with the motor
I think i can pull it off with $1500 it will be cutting it close
plus im going for AC its gonna be a hot *** summer and i dont wanna sweat to have power (did that b4 in my hatch swap )

 

they should have a list of what it does or does not include buuuuuut it should be head/block, no tranny/dizzy/alternator/axles....something along those lines.

 

Does anyboy know the exact HP and TRQ b/c i see different numbers on different sites and in different RPM ranges what are the exact numbers does anybody know

 

97-98 CR-V B20B 126 hp @ 5400 133 lb-ft @ 4300
99+ CR-V B20Z 146 hp @ 6200 133 lb-ft @ 4500

 

Gimme a yell when you're doing the swap if you need help...

 

if i was to get the 97 do you think it would still be around 146hp at 7000rpm b/c like i said b4 those number are shown at different rpms
i guess thats do to the fact that they were runnin automatic trannys and and the ecu and rpms may have changed up over the years or is there something different with the internal of the motor

 

HP = TQ * RPM

The reason the other has more HP is because it has different cams, therefore the powerband is higher up.
