i almost bought a jdm b20b till i seen it only had 126hp. just wondering from people that have them in there ef is it a good swap? does it make good power? its gona be 100% stock.

 

well the b20 is known for its torque so thats where the b20 vtec comes into play..if your planning on swapping for the b20(which yes its a good idea), i would def consider an b20/v

 

or an ls swap..

 

i got b18 with a b16 head lsvtec its a cool car u get the best of both worlds but if u have a single cam in right now then i would say ya ditch that and buy the b20 or u can buy my swap lol i really wanna b16

 

well the deal is i got everything for a b swap besides the motor. and the cheapest motor i could find is a b20b. but its barely got more hp then a single vtec. like i said i dont wana do a b20vtec just stock b20 no intake no header nothing. im looking for people that actually have this motor.

 

how much are you picking the b20 up for?

 

If you're just going to run a stock engine, then there's no reason to get a B20. You could get a D16Z6 or Y8 and have (SOHC) VTEC, about the same power, and better mileage too.

Your location says you're in 'ca'...if that's California, be aware that putting a B20 in a car is illegal because it's technically a light truck engine. Although, I do know people with B20 VTEC setups, so it's not too big of a deal, just something to think about.

 

do it i got my b20b for 620 bucks shipped yeah its a little light on hp but the torque is unreal and i'm getting ave of 37 mpg around town and 30 on hwy thats on a ys1.

yeah smogging an lsvtec is a real pain.... butt gotta love that power

 

ive had B20B -&gt; B20VTEC -&gt; LSVTEC. LOVE THE B20V! so much power and trq put out. i'd get the b20b then VTEC head. B20V, the BEST NA setup IMO

 

the b20 is a good swap. hp isnt everything. you get decent hp and good tq early in the powerband. combine that with a short geared b16 tranny and you will walk all over stock d16's,b16's,stock gsr's.

im not worried about smog allready got that taken care of. and like i said i have everything for a b swap except the motor. and i have a ls ecu and intake mani. and i have nothing for a single. i can get the b20b for 500 i just got drive a long ways to get it. and thats gona be way way cheaper then getting a complet single vtec swap plus haveing to make it obd1.

 

im telling you. B20B, Get IT!

 

I loved my b20b swap in my 91 hatch. Ran 15.5 with crower 62403 cams untuned. The torque is a very nice feeling. I had a LS trans on mine, but I hear they really love the gsr trans. Daily drove it also, depends on what your looking to do really.

 

i had the b20B with b16 tranny in my 4dr ran a 14.6 1/4. with the B20V w/ b16 tranny, i ran a 13.6 with full interior (both on slicks and both untuned, completely stock.)

does that convince you enough? (if straight b20b, use ls tranny.)

 

b20, stage 1 crower cams, and a 50 shot.....

 

im running a b20b in my 90 hatch with exhaust and a fuel rail with around 60 pounds(vs. around 40 stock)and it ran a 15.1 1/4 on steelies with shitty tires haha i would def go with the b20b i still get 35 mpg too...also torque is def an advantage

 

I picked up a long block b18b1 over the weekend 150 tore it down it looks good..

Theirs deals out there. If you dont want the b20 then dont get it.

 

back in the day (2002) I ran a b20b usdm (same as jdm) with an LS tranny, ACT clutch, open pipe, obd-0 integra ls ecu, litterally no mods, just an intake and ran a 14.3@97mph... Slightly gutted... One seat, no bumper beams, 87 octane, shitty 14" no name tires, 2.3 60 ft. Loved the engine, loved the torque.

 

i had a b20z in my old hatch and that car raped *** i sprayed a 35 shot on it and would pull z28s all day only prob was traction on spray was non existent so the first 3 gears it would just spin, im sure on slicks it would have pulled low 13s..

 

I got the rare 8.8:1 c/r jdm b20b and i absolutely love it. People talk **** about not having enough hp, but when you got torque you make up for it which no single cam can say that in a stock form.

My only engine mods are a Edlebrock Victor X and Intake and I have beaten 2 GSR's, a VW Corrado G60, SR20 non turbo swapped Sentra

The sentra that I beat went 15.2 the other night at the track and I pulled him by about 4 lengths on a dig and that was before I put the full race traction bar on.

I paid 515 shipped to Ohio for my B20 from them
