so ive got a 97 crv and the motor has high milage, its time to change it out.. anyone ever swapped in the B20Z?

 

same motor, different pistons and intake manifold. has higher compression, slightly more power.

how high is high? 200k isnt anything. simple tune up can make another 100k easy

 

yeah 203k, timing belt broke recently, i replaced it and it runs just less power and im scared to take it long distances.. id feel better if i could just drop a new one in...was thinking b20z for the 20 extra hp..just wasent sure what i had to change or if it would be a direct replacemnt or what...

 

rebuild it and use high compression pistons and put a gsr or b16 head up top. 190-200hp with vtec will make you smile

 

its just a automatic cruzer....
