pacesetter will work. Eveything thats on your car stays on the car except the block, tranny, and head. Your stoock intake and exhaust will bolt to the head of the b20a so just unblot them from the a20a and bolt it to the b20a. Its a nice weekend swap if you ever get around to it.

nice weekend swap? i don't think so. it is a little more work than just drop the engine in and turn the key.

from what I Read, if you reuse the intake from the a20a either fuel injected or not. With the header that comes with the b20a. The only thing you are using is the block and hed from the b20a. Once you swap out the distibutor and all that jazz for the fuel injection. Its all just a matter of trouble shooting. Im not saying 8-10 hours but if you couldnt get it going after doing your homework in 3 days over the weekend.

I realize its more than a turnkey but with as much info is on the board. You could easily make it in a weekend. Thants my view but I plan on having it ready to go before I even take the stock engine out

Weekend swap no problem if you know what your doing. I did my JDM A20A3 in one day with no experience at all. All the wiring is the same for the B20A if you use the A20A3 intake so its a simple swap if you ask me. But thats provided you have everything you need and the hardest part will be the header because the B20A exh manifold doesnt bolt right up to the A20A3 downpipe but can be modified with some new holes to work.

thats what I thought too. It seems as though some people havent read the b20a topics lately. It seems like I am reading it every week or 2 now

theres a sticky at the top of this section about the jdm b20a. It called read this before you ask any questions (by carotman). Its got alot of general info in it with links and itll tell you just about everything you need to know for now
