    B20a search

    I keep reading all about the JDM B20a and how it is suposed to just bolt in with the exception of the tranny mount. I also here it has as much power as a B16a1 and the torque to stomp it into the groung. The question I keep seeing is, where do you get one? I also wonder the same thing. You would think if this motor was this easy to instal and had as much power as every one boasts it has, it would be easier to find because it would be a popular swap. Most places don't do swaps on 3rd Gens because there is no easy swap for it....so they say.....that is why I wonder about this motor. If it's this good why don't JDM supliers cary it?

    They don't carry it because it's not popular

    It's not popular because they don't carry it



    YOu see, those guys don't know what those engines fit into. They think those are for gen3 ludes usually

    It's a bolt-on swap

    They don't carry it because of the lack of knowlegde and the lack of people with 3rd gens.

    Tons of people have 3G's, but unfortunately not many of them are enthusiasts. If everyone wanted a B20A, somebody in the supply chain would catch on and start importing more salvaged ones. But then it wouldn't be so special...

    I found a site that has them but they are in Austrailia and that would cost a bit to have it shiped to the US. If any one is intrested in the site, just ask.

    One other important fact on why they are hard to find is because it is rather rare even in the countries that did get them from what i find.....
