dont know why im answering but this is bascially an ls/vtec w/b16 pistons. its been done a million times. b20 and b18 have same crank unless ur talking about the b20a from prelude

yep done it, have tuner ready BEFORE running it though we did one just to see how it would run. it was ok, untuned but ended by melting the side off 2 pistons. and ruined the block. under 500 miles
