Got this info under off the All motor section posted by bambam (https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1467903) ...I believe i have a 1996 JDM B20 off a CRV.

USDM:
96-98 Honda CRV
126 HP, 133 ft/lbs TQ
compression: 8.8:1

99-00 Honda CRV
146 HP, 133 Ft/lbs TQ
compression: 9.6:1

JDM (taken from Japan's Honda website):
96-98 Honda Orthia
143 HP, 132 ft/lbs TQ
9.2:1 compression

96-98 Honda Step Wagon
123 HP,133 ft/lbs TQ
9.2:1 compression

99-00 Honda Step Wagon
134 HP, 136 ft/lbs TQ
9.6:1 compression

96-98 Honda CRV (two variants)
128 HP, 136 ft/lbs TQ
8.8:1 compression
143 HP, 132 ft/lbs TQ
9.2:1 compression

99-00 Honda CRV
148 HP, 136 ft/lbs TQ
9.6:1 compression

96-98 Honda SM-X
128 HP, 135 ft/lbs TQ
8.8:1 compression

99-00 Honda SM-X
138 HP, 137 ft/lbs TQ

2 Variants....My question is, how do i determine which one do i have? i believe im in the category in bold.

Depending on what B20b i have i will see f i throw my b20 with my b16a2 head on my EK or just keep Waiting longer and longe till i have more bolt-ons possibly turbo before putting in b20.

Has anyne build a b20b stock with stock b16a2 head? if so approx how much whp were u getting and tq? with no bolt ons or possibly just headers.

thanx.

there will be a code on the head. That will probably be the easiest way to tell

Yea, the code in the head led me to this or is there something else i need to look for exactly?.....its 9/6 which means is from 1996...the month i dont recall exactly need to go home and check but i think it was before september. so tells me its in that category.....1996 JDM B20...but i look at the top and it has 2 variants and thats where im stuck...dont know how to determine which one exactly do i have.

 

well if your gonna swap the head out u will be able to se which pistons you have. looks like the jdm has the higher comp pistons in it. find out the code for the usdm and jdm pistons and compare to yours.

 

Thanx, i will take my b20 head out and check it out.

 

b20z has the higher hp than b20b.

hope that helps

 

what does the lower timing belt cover look like? same as b16 or b18?

 

i just posted this in another thread like 2 mins ago. how are you going to get that motor smogged in cali? its ilegal to put a truck motor in a car? you will never pass emissions.
