Default Got this 1997 crv couple of weeks ago is this possible b20z2

Hey what up ht I been looking at the crv forum and couldn't think of anything else but to get a crv so I did I want to have a spare engine because you never know what can go wrong with a over 200.000 m engine. I saw that the b20z2 has additional HP in compare of what I have know so I guess my question is is this swap possible without having to mess with wiring. Are both engines obd2? I'm ok with ecu swap, will my awd still work? do I have to worry about engine mounts?
Can I use same engine wiring harness,alternator,intake manifold,trans ect without sacrificing the extra HP the z2 offers?
Can some one please let me know what I would need? Thanks
some one is letting one go for dirt cheap and don't want to let it go if this is possible

Here's a pic of her my daughter wanted to come out in the pic lol


sorry for the quality but it was at night with and using a cellphone camera but I think threads are more interested with images

Have some small mods idea like repaint for sure, bolt ons, lowering springs, Yakima or Thule roof rack, side markers, yellow fog lights, trying to fit a ef spoiler from what I saw in another thread and who knows what else it will be slow process have a wife and daughter to take care off first and a cheap paying job but my wife its also exited because its her daily driver and likes the mods idea let me know what y'all think good and bad comments are welcome and please correct me if I was wrong with any facts thanks againg and have a good night excuse my grammar English its my second language

Daughters cute. Yes you can swap in a z2 but you need the ecu to go with it. AWD is 100% mechanical, so you can put any b series in there and the AWD will still work.

Hey thanks for the comment. So just engine and ecu are need it correct? Good looking w the awd info my wife needs it for sure here in Tijuana especially where we live we have to go up a canyon and when it rains only awd and some rwd make it to the top it's funny I'll post a video next time it rains.

Ldforget I know the jdm front bumper goes for big $ so what other options do I have for
foglights on usdm bumper I would prefer some Honda stock fogs

Is there a lot of difference between the egay sidemarkers and the Stanley ones? Because in money it is

And would you happened to know the name of this intake

My buddy took his B20 out of his crv and still ran but had a valve noise. had 262k on it, could be a simple valve adjustment . But i dont sell things like that and hopping it is just something small. I will be rebuilding the whole motor and will sell it for 650.00. B20Vtec for 1100.00.

you need to put [img] [/img] around your links. If you put your image url between the img tags it will display them.

Those lights look to be pointing up, straight into the eyes of oncoming traffic, for your safety and that of those driving towards you try pointing them down onto the road
