Ok, this is going into a EK, is there any different way to install one from the other in terms of wiring, etc. And putting a VTEC head will it make a difference which block i have

 

basically is the block different or just the internals

 

NEVER use the B20A motor. That is from the old school prelude and is no where close to being the same as the B20B/Z. The B20Z has higher compression and has VTEC type oil pump. To get the B20 into a civic you need to get all B-series parts. You need a B-series tranny, mounts, axles, shift linkage, and A/C parts if you want A/C.

 

What? never heard the B20z's comes w/vtec Type oil pump, so if i was going to put a b20z then there wouldn't be any difference in swaping a b20b or b20z external wise

 

well can't find a good site for a Ek b20z swap, w/or w/o vtec, anything to put a b20 into a EK

 

go to jdmhondaparts.com they have b20 longblocks for sale

 

hrm...anyone know anybody who sells the b20 complete swaps?

 

all b-series engines 1997(98?)-up come with the "vtec" oil pump according to your local honda dealership

just check it against the part numbers when you go to parts.

 

I know my 98 stamped USDM B20B4 did not come with a VTEC type oil pump.
