B20 build eg coupe :newb:
this is whats up i bought a b20z 99 crv motor today guy said it ran when pulled thinks its burnt valve he replaced it with a tigre motor from japan
so to break it down just a few questions
1.whats the difference in japan itakes/are there bigger injectors deff the intake looks like a oversized ls intake but will it fit under eg hood
2.what size are ls injectors will they work for b20
3.anyone running 11.3 cr with b17 pistons
4. what mounts are needed for b20z
5.ls head and b20 heads are the same? if so i could use b20 cams in ls head i have a complete ls head minus cams if the valve is burnt
guy said low compresion on number 3 cylinder all stock auto 99 crv any input appricated thanks
6.how hard is this swap?
do keep in mind im a

ill have to get some pics up sometime to show progress

To answer your questions...
1. B20z is USDM from a crv. It is not from japan regardless of what your importer tells you. And the Intake manifold is bigger because it is meant for producing more torque for the CRV. No it will not fit under your hood...
2. Both LS and CRV injectors are 240cc. Depending on the ECU you run you might want to get slightly bigger injectors to avoid running lean.
3. On a B20 block there is two different OEM pistons: P3F and PHK. Your block has the higher compression PHK ones. If you would like to increase the compression in your engine you must look for aftermarket pistons at 84mm or bigger. The b17 pistons you mention are only 81mm and itll be like throwing a hotdog down a hallway on your slutted up B20.
4. There are plenty of options for aftermarket motor mounts, I reccommend new or replica OEM B18b or B20 motor mounts.
5. The B20 has two different heads, the head you have is identical to the LS. It will say P75 on it and you can swap them without any problems. The cams are the same as well.
6. Swaps are as hard as you make them, sit down and plan it out the right way before you buy the wrong parts (b17 pistons) and are left with the dead frankenstien.
Good luck

He just needs alittle guidance. Quite possible he's read somewhere about using "rs" spec p30 or b17 pistons that are 84mm. Although i've never heard of b17 spec pistons in 84mm size, its possible.
I believe for your build RS itr spec pistons would be ideal..
