SO im about to buy either one... here are the circumstances.

B20 has a 6 month warranty and is 30k-50k miles., total cost 400$ shipped.

LS is in a wrecked integra, runs good has unknown amount of miles and unknown history. comes with auto tranny, mounts, harness, everything, and is 200$ plus my d15b.


Opinions? kindof stuck right now... don't know which route to go.
not really into massive street racing, but i do get down on the mountain roads now and again. and occasional visit to go drag it with friends.

any opinions / facts appreciated, this is my leap into B series world, as i have been strictly SOHC in my honda career

 

I'd go B20 and hope they stand behind that warranty if anything goes wrong. I'd be sure to throw a new Timing Belt/Waterpump on either one you buy.

 

look at it like this.. buy the b20 since its under warranty , once its in..u can sell u D15 and make some money back.

 

84mm bore B20 vs 81mm bore LS

 

Go with the B20. Where ya getting it from?

 

B20 all the way.

 

B2O AND THEN TURBO

 

B20 den add a vtec head .....beast

 

i say b20. but make sure you get the b20b it has more torque

 

b20b does..??? i thought the b20Z was the higher compression one?

 

I would go with the B20. Is it a B20B? and if so is it the JDM B20B with the P8R head. If so Its a beast and loves turbo. P8R head has larger intake valves. I heart it. You will too. Doing one in a 98 DX coupe. LS tranny for turbo. GSR tranny for no turbo. You will need a P75 itake manifold or skunk2 or blox just something that will fit a B18B. Also good to note that anything that will fit an LS motor will fit a B20.
