if i was to put a B20 in my ek, would i be able to just use LS axles, trany, and harness?

 

Absolutely. In fact, it's prefered. You'll probably need to use an LS intake manifold for hood clearance and you'll need an LS or GSR exhaust manifold because the B20 manifold blows.

I'm not 100% on the harness, though. I'm not sure if it has any sensors that the B18B doesn't.

 

b20b=b18b/a

its all the same except displacement.

he can use the intake mani on the b20 if it is a b20z. the b20b is the one with the long runners that wont work.

And I think the b20z has a knock sensor as well, where the b20b does not.

Hard to find B20Z's though (for a decent price), or maybe you get lucky when buying through HMO and get a late-model JDM B20B, which are the same as a B20Z.

Yeah, although on HMO, it says they are all the JDM b20 with 146hp. It doesnt say it is the b20z, but that is the b20z numbers. I wonder....

I've heard of people getting both. It's hard to tell what you get when there's no such thing as a B20Z in Japan, so they had B20B's from like 1996 to 2001.

 

i guess it is just the newer b20s in Japan (99 and up) that have the upped compression.

Indeed.
