How many miles are on the motor? If you have the money get a vtec and a turbo and you will have a fast crv lol it has been done!!!!

 

how hard would that be? i heard you can take a b18 head and put it on a b20 motor? my motor right now has a 160,000 miles on it.

 

you can pick up a new b20 for 500 to 600 all day at the junk yard with allot less miles and a b16 head for 400 or so and then you just need the ls vtec kit or b20vtec kit that you can get for cheap than you will need a ecu it's kinda of a pain in a$$ but if you know some that can help around town it would be usefull

 

Word, VTEC your CRV. I did and I love it. You'll be impressed with the added power. Let me know if you need some advice!

 

in fact i need all the advice i can get lol. im starting from scratch right now. my friend said to put a h22 in it, gives it like 205 hp or somewhere in there. but i dont know since youve done it i figured you could give me better advice.

 

I think its a bit more complicated with a H22 head, but its been done before. They have H2B adapters. Its too bad I'm a noob or I'd ask you to send me a PM and I can email you a really good writeup on all the parts you need for your build. Is your CRV auto or manual?

 

its an auto, thats the only bad part about it. my email is foryourlungsonly_alk3@hotmail.com, if you wanna email that part list.

You friend is an idiot. Putting an H22 in there would be an incredible amount of work and completely custom.......waaayyyy more than you can handle at your current skill level.

Just put a B18 VTEC head on it if you have to have VTEC.

You definitely CANNOT put an H head on a B block No one has ever put an H22 head on a B-series block, where did you hear that?? Do you know what an H2b adaptor even does?

 

im not trying to put a whole new motor in. i know you can put a b18 vtec head on it. but once you put the b18 head on, then what?
