im looking at getting a b20b from hmotorsonline within the short future and was wondering what problems i might have in the swap. i heard something about alt brackets not working and using d series parts,i also heard something about the eg throttle cable not working on the b20 manifold (using ls anyways, just like to know) but i need to know what to use before i buy the motor

gonna be running a stock b20b
LS intake mani, throttle bodie, and blah

oh an car is 92lx sedan

 

the only problem i had was a tendency to have my butt pushed into my seat during acceleration

 

lol so i dont have to worry about the altnator or anything?

 

use b-series alt. bracket/alt. get a B20 alt belt....otherwise the LS/GSR/B16 squeaks bad.

Other than that, it is a straight-forward swap

Why in the world would having a b20 cause alternator problems? That's like saying Living south of the equator I'd go bald.

EDIT: Using a b-series alternotr bracket is an obvious must on a b series swap.

 

perhaps you would

 

Maybe if I got Ebola.

lol would the stock b20 alt bracket work...someone told me it has clearance problems or something

 

and will i be able to keep power steering? heard something bad about that too

 

bump

 

i dont see why you wouldnt be able to run power steering...

 

so basically i can take the b20b paired with ls manifold and throttlebodie, and it'll be just like swapping any other b series swap?

 

well...you said your car was a 92 so its a obd1 and a b20 would be a obd2...so you gonna have to convert the motor to obd1... your dizzy, ecu, injectors, and i do believe the altornator bracket has to be changed too....you cant use the b20 axles,you gonna have to get diff b series axles...i if your car still has a D series, you gonna need to change the rear mount bracket...maybe it missing a few small things and maybe someone can post it if i am...im off to bed...peace..

 

okay thanks man, im gonna use the whole intake mani setup off an b18b injectors, fuel rail, fpr, throttle bodie, i'll use the obd1 LS dizzy, and LS ecu, ls tranny and axles,can i use the integra rear mount?


bedtime bump

 

bump

 

you can use the stock mount but gonna need a rear mount bracket...not sure if thats what you meant, im using an 99-00 SI bracket on my EG but not sure about the rear bracket....if no one answers your question, you can atleast try searching for your answer because im sure this has been covered LOTS of times....check the archive files while searching and also try the "Post Bodies (Return a post listing, slower)" option while searching...

 

what if i use the b series hasport rear mount that would work huh?

 

its not the mount its the back t bracket or some call it a l looks like this

 

oh okay...could i use the integra bracket?

 

i thought b20s can pass smog?
