Now I know most of you might flame me for this but I have been reading multiple forms on swapping a b20b into an integra but every form has something different to say.
I have a 1998 Integra DB7 automatic this is my work/daily I am not building this car but my current b18b1 has lost compression in cylinder 3 (bad rings). Once again its my daily work vehicle.

So far ive read its a direct plug and play others say its not.
what I do know is that I will have to do
- swap the throttle body/intake manni
- do a crank sensor bypass
- swap over my ac and powersteering pumps with brakets


the car is a 98 so im guessing its a obd2a correct me if im wrong.

now this is where im confused some people say I need to swap the engine mounting braket by the timing cover and swap my crank pulley whislt other never mention this.
Other people also say I can not use my b18b header because of clearance issues.

What I do want to know is there a real write up on this swap?
Am I missing anything? Do I really need to swap the crank pulley and mounting bracket.


The car is registered in NY
once again its a Daily Work vehicle not a high end build I have my Prelude for that.....

 

As far as I see none vtec b series link up to none b series it's basically the same motor as your b18b1

 

just swap the itm/tb as being an auto there may be a few issues, there may not I'm just thinking back to d-series engines. as for the CSB why ? just get a usdm "low comp" b20b if that's not an option look up crank sensor bypass. ps pump/brackets should be the same but never hurts to swap them over.

 

Im getting a JDM B20B for $250 with paper work from an importer therfore It doesnt have a crank sensor


arent most B20 engines out of a auto vehicle?

 

Most were mated to an automatic transmission. There were some 5spd CRVs as well.
