First off, specs.

1999 EK
1999 B20z

I've read that you can not BAR certify a B20 in a Civic chassis due to the vehicle/engine class difference. (Civic being a passenger vehicle, and the B20z being from the CRV which is a light truck)

Does anyone here have, or know someone who has, a BAR certified B20 in a Civic (or an Integra/Prelude/Accord for that matter) ? I've spent a lot of money getting my swap ready for a trip to the CA state REF. I'd hate to think that I've been wasting my time.

And here's a pic of my car (since pic posts get 90% of the traffic).

 

sorry but i think you wont be getting that BAR

 

Do people ever remove/replace the vin plates on these things. We don't have to do all this in south-ga. So I dunno if that is an option or not.

 

clean car
doesnt the motor need to be newer than your car?
or is it the same year and up?
correct me please

 

no you cant get bar with a b20 because its a motor from a suv, it is not from a car.

not possible in CA.. you can move to any other state and not have a problem w/ it.. hell there are b20z all over the east coast.. just register your car under a friend or relative that does not live in CA

 

same year and up

no the b20 is a different case, as stated above

 

you should try calling the ref up...you never know they might be cool about it....

just say that you did everything right and everything is hooked up perfectly...

 

Say you got the motor from an orthia(sp?), its a passenger 4 door car in japan that came with the b20

 

You can never get a BAR sticker with a B20 in a passenger car. B20 = SUV which = to Truck so you will need a truck or SUV chassis to BAR it.

 

1) Restamp block

2) Bore LS block to 84mm

Has anyone ever restamped a block ? Wouldn't they catch on when they ran the vin number on the block ?

 

Yup won't get pass the ref with a B20

U should get a LS and bore out to 84mm. It will be stronger than the b20 and probably run about the same amount of money, depending on what year ls u get.

 

damn, i feel sorry for you guys/girls in cali, to many car restrictions .
