ok, bought my 91 crx shell about a year ago, and now it's time for an engine, the engine i've found is a B20 from a 90 prelude si.

My question is just on general problems with a swap like this, the intake looks deep and looks like i would almost have to move back the firewall.

so if anyone has done one or seen them done (cause i've searched) help me out, thanks

 

won't work without a lot of extra work that no one has yet documented. these engines share virtually no similar parts to every other b-series engine. sorry chap

fixed* lol

 

they are considered the Bastard engine or the Black Sheep of the B-series motors. swapping this motor in an EF chassis will require custom motor mounts, because of there stance in the bay the normal B to EF chassis swap mounts will not work.

 

yeah, totally diffrent. the only thing the same as all other b series is the injectors... even the rails diffrent

 

Take the b20a and sell it.. you might get 50 bux. Go buy a b20b, then come back.

 

like beansandrice said.. take the b20a and sell it...

 

The time/money/work that would go into the swap wouldn't be worth the end result, unless you want a money pit for the sake of "doing something different"

There are many cheaper/easier/more powerful swaps available.

 

pick up a b20z

 

I dont like the B20 fires I prefer B16 Hits

 

There's a reason that B20A swaps are not done.

The best advice anyone can give you is to forget the B20A and look for any other B-series engine. Looks like everyone here agrees. You can choose to follow this good advice, or you can make your project much more difficult and potentially expensive just to save a few bucks initially. Your choice.

 

How much did u pay for the b20a5?

That was pretty much money wasted. Unless u can find a prelude owner who needs it.
