Default Just ordered my JDM B20b from www.hondamotorsonline.com!!!

I must say HMO answered ALL of my questions and were very easy to work with!!!! They are going to ship my motor tomorrow and it will be here Tuesday or Wednesday!!!

Im going to trade my b18b bottom (I have LS/Vtec right now) end out for the b20 and put the b20 head onto my LS block and into my Girlfriends 95 civic. Its a win win situation!

I suggest Hondamotorsonline to anyone who is in the need for a motor!

Cool Bro i got my B20B from the same place a lil lease then a month ago and the B20Bs in a running strong. You know that the B20 head and LS head are the same except for the cams right? IF you just put the B20 cams in the LS head it gives you 7hp to the wheels or at least my friends LS it did (Dyno'd) Just some ish to think about.... he also had basic bolt ons.

The Long block with distributer, IM, TB, oilpan, ETC. cost $799, then shipping cost about $250. The total price was $1046. Damn those shipping costs! I was half tempeted to drive 16 hours (I live in central Oregon, HMO is in S. Cali) to pick it up.

So how did the motor arrive? Was it clean? Any broken parts? Did a semi just pull up to your house and drop it off? Im worried I won't be home when they get to my house and that they will just send it back.

What do you guys think about the b20b compared to the pull on the b18b/a?

why not just build up your B18 block.

The b20 is pretty much the same as the B18, the only thing diff is the bore size.
Crank and rods are the same on the B18

I was thinking of doing the same thing, but I have a spare b18c1 block that I am sending in to golden eagle to resleeve to 85 mm. The cost is $750 for the resleeving, and the sleeves will be stronger than the stock sleeves.

I would have liked to do that, but I cant afford the down time. And I really want to put my b18b into my girlfriends car as well!
