Get a B20Z - more horsepower than a B20B. It is exactly the same as any other B-series swap, do a search and you'll find any answers you need because it has been covered over and over and over and over.

You will run about the same times as with a B18A/B; the B20Z has about the same horsepower, but it has a good bit more torque.

I've heard that you need to find a different crankshaft pulley for the large B20's... otherwise they hit the radius rods (depending on mounts, of course).

No problems with my b20 hitting anything.



I ran a 15.8 with a shitty r/t, and very bad tires.

If B20Vtec is your quest, then it wont matter if its a B or Z.

Depending on mount kit, you will have hood clearance issues. Its nothing to worry about though.

Good luck. go Hyrdo tranny with ITR tranny, youll LOVE it. Madd torque and quick gearing

try that for finding the motor with more power... make sure you motor is 99+, comes with a knock senor, and phk stamped on the pistions...

my 99 jdm spec B20B as all of these characteristics.. I will install and dyno soon
