Which would be cheaper, a B20B motor w/ a VTEC head swap or an H22 motor. I want to drop a B20B motor in my car seeing that its something nobody would expect out of a 3Gee. But, i recall seeing one somewhere that came with a VTEC already on it. Does anybody know where this mystical motor could be? Also, in comparison to the H22, how would a VTEC B20B stack up(performance wise). And the last thing, if i did do the B20B motor swap, would there be enough room for a Jackson Racing supercharger & all the other performance parts that can be put on this motor?

IMHO the H22 is a badass engine with around 200hp and 161 lbs of torque, HOWEVER you can't put it in your 3g. And the B20 swap done by a few members here is not VTEC but I believe you can drop a B18c head on it.

You got pics? Can you e-mail them to me? [email protected]

H22A Type S = BETAR ENGIENE
B20B/GSR = MOER AFOARDABAL

I don't think there's an "average cost" to it... it's all custom fab type shit and that varies shop to shop.

Any B-series VTEC head will bolt to the CRV blocks. The B16A head would probably be cheapest since it is a more common swap.

Thanks for the pics! That is some crazy shit haha. I would never have the kind of cash required to do something that custom, nor would any shop in my area do it, but I can dream right???

<EDIT> I might as well post the pics up:

B20 with a B16 head over a h22 anyday, more affordable, more reliable, easier to obtain, and limitless upgrades due to the larger displacement.

Has anybody done the B20B w/ VTEC head in a 3rd Gen yet?

& last I heard, it was a very complicated process to do the B20B VTEC head swap, this would explain why I asked has anybody seen a site with a VTEC already on a B20B for sale?

Ok let me clear some things up. First, the B20B motor that want cost a tad bit more than the H22. If you got a B20B w/ a Type R head then you could dust a couple of Ludes. Im just hoping I can get that soon though.:rolleyes: Also, to drop the B20B in all you have to do is get the mounts, axels, etc.... from Place Racing Inc. No Kustom Fab.:super:

yup... thats it... u can put header and bigger pistons, do all inside work and even a CAI. i think a turbo would be easier because of the ease of placement. dont have to go ontop or in front of the motor! anyway... what ever you chose, make sure you post pics

Oh you best believe im gonna post pics:D . Ill be the happiest 3Ger on this board. Because, id be the first to do that type of swap in the ride. Not to mention my Type R tranny is gonna move me like whoa. & yes a turbo on the CRVTEC will be done after I build the motor to the fullest. ITR everything. Ill have an 89 Accord Type R. The place that doing it does dynos to so you know ill get the stats for all the "how much power do it have people" out there.:D

No Kustom Fab.i do believe that place racing makes H22 mounts for your cars, cause we use the same ones for 2g ludes since they are essentially the same engine bays...

Place Racing doesnt make a mount kit for an H-series motor in a 3G. On the other hand mounts for a B-series are available. & just to clear up some confusion. The H22 motor requires alot of money & dedication. If Place made a mount kit for it I can promise you there would be somebody on this board either getting ready to do one or done one already.
