Yes folks, the b20 has been installed in my 99 GSR. Nice Nice torque, exactly what i was looking for- thanks to prospeed performance- jus need to get it on the dyno, and retune :]

 

congrats, is it just a straight b20 or is it the b20/vtec?

 

itz b20/vtec

 

Did you use stock pistons or did you have to change them?..
WHen are you getting it dynoed?

 

aye kraze... where is prospeed performance?? i wana check that place out.... aye u in orange?? cool.. i'm in fountain valley like 15 minutes away.... let me kno how ur engine is going...

 

supersteve: stock b20 bottom end - no $$ for pistons...hehe, kinna used it on everything else

*****racer: e-mail prospeedracing@aol.com - should get you contact info, they are in garden grove

 

i'd be willing to take that gsr engine off your hands at absolutely no cost!!
i'll even come by and pick it up for you!

 

haha, no thank you... but you can have this beer

 

how much did the conversion cost you. I understand you alreaddy had the head so dont include that. Thanks.

 

bout 2k

 

Where is this prospeed performance, they do good CRVTEC swaps????

 

they are in garden grove- A+

 

are you willing to sell the gsr engine, did you use the head?, if so i still might buy the block off you if thats all you have. let me know

 

nothing like a b20/vtec

 

 

hey, i'm seriously considering the exact same thing to my gsr.

did u just swap the bottom end(block) and left everything else the same?

if so, then i'm assuming that the conversion cost u 2k but u still have the stock b18c1 block lying around?

 

if i can find a b20 block, can i just bolt that piece up to it? after i install oil squirters...why did it cost 2k? did the engine cost over 1k? cause labor couldn't be that much

 

hi my name is roger

 

Well Bommie considering i did most of the work on the car, i'll help price it for you. Mind you i work for Prospeed so i dont know the exact prices that CJ was charged.

The B20 longblock did cost 1K. Vtec lines are around $125. New head gasket is around $60-$80. Cant quite remember. Modification of the vtec head. Theres a little labor. Modification of the pistons to allow for Toda spec B's, theres a little more labor. Figure an average jo-blo shop charges $500-$800 just for a straight swap. Plus with this swap we had to change over the trans and clutch stuff, pull the head off the B20, pull the head off the GSR, and then put the head on the GSR. Theres lots of work that is involved. If it was a straight swap, then no it wouldn't cost 1K for labor. Hope that gave you an idea of the pricing.

 

and yes he kept his old short block which is actually worth more than the B20 longblock. I recommend that he keep it for a rainy day.

 

Why thank you.

 

B20 / VTEC --> ooooooooooooooh TORQUE? say WHAAAAAT? must feel gooooood! congrats!
