I own a 1990 integra with close to 300,00 miles on it. What are my options for getting a new motor with manual transmission attached? I heard the B20 was an option, but doesn't the CRV motor have less horsepower? Is that a downgrade? All suggestions and info is welcome! Thanks.

 

Add on question for any who know....does the B20 motor (CRV) come with a cable clutch for the option of having the B20 motor and transmission installed as a unit? I heard it might only come with hydraulic, which would force me to aquire a new Integra transmission to make the connections work.

 

B20 usually doesn't come with a manual tranny - CRV's were mostly auto. Re-use your LS tranny.

Also, watch out for emissions. The B20 is classified a "truck/SUV" motor NOT for a passenger car. Smog check could fail you for that. Might be better off just getting a b18b from hmotors and be legal.

 

Well the b20 is coo....and i bet u can just pay a little extra money somewhere when u smog it cause u live in cali and theres a bunch of places for that...but if u get a b20 get a b20z

x2.

Seeing as how he is located in CA, You will not be able to legally run the b20.

 

Is the b20 manuel trans compatible with other b series motor's?

 

I say just get a new b18a and call it a day

 

You live in CA, forget about the B20 truck engine in your car.
