ok heres the scoop...

i just bought a b20b with mounts,tranny (i don't know what kind) and axles out of a 94 civic coupe.
I found it in a junkyard. i got there right when they brought it out and scored big time. i took the whole drivetrain and even black gsr seats that look like they've been resently upholstered. it even has a dc sports header on it!!

well the reason for this post is for some ideas. i been doing some research trying to learn more about the b20b's potential and weaknesses. so what do you guys think, should i get a vtec head, go turbo? idon't know i just can't wait to swap it in and feel the difference in torque.

i was gonna swap in a d16z6 sohc vtec engine that i have but i guess my plans have changed. i'll try to post some picks up as soon as i can.

also, what other parts am i gonna need. i already know i need mounts and wiring. and a ecu.
sadly it was gone before i could get to it. which ecu do i need?

oh and by the way, its going into my 88 crx si. its black with black 17's and some cheap *** ebay coil-over kit.

here are some pics:
the engine

the seats


my baby, 88si



just bought this for daily driving duties.
i might put the d16z6 in this now that the 88 is gettin the b20

come on guys, gimme some tips.

 

What ever floats your boat...we're here to help. If you want to build a turbo, run a search because that topic had been discussed here before...same if you decide to go lsvtec etc...

 

ok thanks for the info.

by the way, why don't my pictures show up automatically like everyone elses? why do you have t click on the link instead of my pictures just being here on this page?

 

Drop a line on my b20b build thread. It has a detailed list of everything you need (90 EF Si). Doing a properly tuned B20 Vtec is just as expensive as getting a turbo - and you <u>have</u> to do it right.

How much did you pay for your b20b + tranny? Nice find btw.

Also, what was wrong with the EG you jacked the engine off? Bad collision?

PS: That crx makes my panties tight.

 

Like this? Get the URL for your pics off photobucket (middle option I think), then just wrap the url in '[img ][ /img]' or hit the insert image button and it'll put them in automatically for you.

 

i paid $75 for the seats
$200 for the engine
$100 for the trans
$70 for the axles

this is the eg that i got everything off of:


can someone tell me if this tranny has lsd, it has a stamp on it that says ysk1, is that a ys1??



oh yeah the eg coupe had a smashed front, but it wasn't that bad, i think it was fixable. a new front and some new airbags and it would of been good to go.
hey i followed your link freakystyley_73 and it was very informative. how can i tell what intake i have? since this engine was already in a civic i'm assuming all the hard work has been done. like the axles should fit my crx right? and the intake...
i think i'm gonna run this obdo. my friend has an ecu for me out of his wrecked 90 da teg.
so that means i need th da dizzy and intake right?
the tranny i have is hydro. i also took the reservoir and the cylinder so i think all i need would be a
hydro line running from the cylinder to the slave right?
man i haven't been this excited in a very long time. i can't wait to start working on this!!!

 

heres another engine shot:


does that look like a teg intake??
i'm gonna try to get some better shots tomorrow of the engine and tranny. i can't figure out what kind of tranny i have because that sticker thats usually by the engine code isn't thier.

another thing is how can i tell what dizzy i have? obdo, obd1??

thanks for all the help guys.

 

It looks like the dizzy had 2 grey plugs so they're obd1 or 2...2 white round plugs are obd0

 

Oh my god. You <u>stole</u> that engine. I hope you took that cold air intake as well lol.

I found a picture of an integra intake manifold just now:

It looks identical to the one you've got on there, so my guess is that's where it came from.

I still can't believe the deal you got on that engine though dude. Did you ****** the shift linkage off it too?

I'm positive i've seen a thread or a site somewhere on how to identify the transmission you've got... Try doing a search on HT or google.

The axles may not fit though... they might be specific to your car, but they're remotely cheap through Hasport. I'd give them a shot first though. If that tranny is a hydro tranny (which i bet it is) you'll have to get a cable-hydro conversion - you can buy those relatively cheap off hasport as well.

The ECU doesn't have to match the intake manifold - just the distributor and alternator. If everything's already on there i'd almost suggest keeping that engine together and converting your CRX to OBD1.

You're a lucky bastard,
good luck

 

yeah i guess i did get a good price on that.
the trannyis hydro but i took everything except the hardline that goes from the tranny to the clutch cylinder. i think i'm gonna try to convert my car to hydro instead of using a cable to hydro conversion.
it can't be too hard to do. i really hope that these axles fit on my car because i don't have money right now to buy new ones.
does anybody know if any b series header/manifold will bolt up to this thing? i might replace this one cuz it has a couple dings in it. to bad i searched and a dc sport header goes for around $400-$500.
i can't wait to start workin on this but its hard to find time during the week. i been searching youtube for b20 honda vids and i found a couplgood ones that show how these suckers run in ef's and eg's.

 

Any b series intake manifold will fit on the b20, but a b20 intake manifold will not fit inside an EF.
