b20b..ok swap for my cx?

[EG HB]

im lookin at gettin a swap for my 94 cx hatch..im only 16 and dont have tons of money to buy a b16 or engine like that....i no alot of people r gettin the d16z6,zc engines stuff like that..i was was wondering if a b20b engine would work in my car and also is it a decent engine and can u get bolts on and stuff like that for it? thanks for the help...heres the link to the engine........ http://www.naganojapanese.com/jdm_b20b.htm

That would cost a bout as much to put a b16 in my mind.

I say get a b18b and forget about it.......

 

[EG HB]

the b20b is only 650$ tho

 

[zville00SI]

You gotta think of tranny and all that s**t too dude.....

 

[zville00SI]

But what do i know, ive never swapped an engine EVER

All i gots is a b16

 

[Beelzebubba]

Sure,




Depending on how long you wanna sit there and watch it collect dust in the corner of your parent's garage while you do some research, buy some tools, source the proper mounts, drive axles, shift linkage, engine hoist...etc...

 

[zville00SI]

Am I right tho, cheaper to do the LS?

 

[EG HB]

lol true...but if i was to go to a junkyard and get a ls engine id have no idea if the engine was a pos or not..i no nothin bout engines n stuff like that..im a illiteret..look i can even spell the word rite..lol

 

[zville00SI]

So then whats the diff between a b20 and a b18 if you cant tell if its good or not?

 

[zville00SI]

Let me re-phrase that.......whats the point of looking for a swap if you have done no research>?

 

[zville00SI]

Ok dude, please get the b18b, its lighter, more hp, same torque almost, not complicated to swap, and its only like 100 bucks more!!!!!!!!!

For a few dollars less and a few headaches less: » Jdm engine : D15B VTEC
» Year : 92-95
» Valve train : SOHC, VTEC, 16 Valve
» Jdm transmission : Hydraulic
» Displacement : 1.5L

» Horsepower : 130 HP
» Torque : 106lbs@5200rpm
» Compression : 9.2:1

» Price : 480.00$ (USD)

You can re-use your cx tranny or go get an EX tranny and ECU from the wrecking yard. You're really only coming up short on torque compared to the B20B. And again if they short you anything you can probably pirate it off your CX or a nice wrecking yard EX.

Take the money you save and apply it towards a decent clutch.

Still got money? tires.

All the power in the world doesn't matter if it doesn't get to the ground.

Go head for the B20, You can piece it all together for just under $1500, for everything. I done ITR head, ITR tranny, & B20B & everything to complete swap for 2,600

 

[EG HB]

to much money for a 16 yr old..would take me like 9 months workin 40hrs a day makin 8 dollars and hour to make 2600

 

[Sleeper]

I said only $1500 for everthing with non vtec b20 & LS tranny, It was $2600 for a B20VTEC With all ITR s**t

 

[TenzoMonk]

to much money for a 16 yr old..would take me like 9 months workin 40hrs a day makin 8 dollars and hour to make 2600

besides... if you worked that much... you'd have $87600 after 9 months

 

[Sleeper]
