B20B B20Z CRV Engine

[blackjersey]

Hello guys! I found this engine and ready to order it. I was told that I can put this engine and swap it to my stock Honda Accord 1987 LX-i FI engine using series B mounts from innovative.

I called the company today and when he asked me what type of car and model im gonna swap this engine to, he kinda said thats impossible or he never heard of such conversion.

Im a noob as well but if this can be done I'll order it right away!

Please help!

its possible yes, dont listen to this guy.. the main problem with this swap is wiring and sorting out axles. You can put B16tec head on that engine and you'll be pushing 260hp boundaries..

I just bont understand, why not go for B18C engine at once, same amount of work and greater aftermarket support..

whats that thing over the intake manifold?

A B18C costs about four times as much as the B20B

i didn't click the image but i'm sure it's the b20z's intake box that you're questioning, seriously though can we start closing these threads?

i sware to god.

+1, plus it produces more tq than the B18C. A VTEC head and high compression pistons should produce more power than the B18C and more tq.

Don't mean to thread jack but if you were to do a b20 with a b16 head would you need the wiring harness from the b16 or what.

[stat1K]

no you would use your stock harness modified in any case.

please search for questions like these, it's been covered NUMEROUS times.

[Tomisimo]

are B20B and B20z engines out of CRV are rare? in US that importers import them.. or its for cool factor since it came from JDM land.. because its on every JY over here and nobody wants them here..

[stat1K]

it's that the usdm engines have super high miles and the jdm/ukdm/eudm versions do not, the b20b/z were also used in models that were never sold in the united states, like the Orthia for example.

also at least in states i've been to SUV's like the CR-V do not end up in the junkyard because of the rarity of their parts, they in turn end up in a salvage yard which pulls parts FOR you and sells them at a higher price. You could ask the same question about d-motors, why do people by a jdm d15b non-vtec for 500 when that's essentially the same motor sold in every civic from 88-2000... well, it's because you can buy one that only has 30-50k instead of the avg of 12k miles per year that americans drive. oh and you get a warranty so why not right?

I figured since we were on the subject it wouldn't hurt to ask a yes or no question it takes forever to search threads on my phone

don't worry It's been covered a million times, but I do think you were trying to ask a reasonable question and sometimes the search function is screwy.

[stat1K]

and i answered your question didn't i?

so get off your phone and get to a computer, it's not my fault you don't have a keyboard and a 19" lcd at work is it?

Come down to Palatka and I'll show you how to make the A series feel pretty zippy.

[AccordEpicenter]

exactly what is the point to installing a CRV engine in your accord?

[stat1K]

aftermarket support, more hp, more torque? i don't understand your question, b20vtec possibilities, and so on? plus the motors can be had at or around 600 dollars.

was it a serious question?

[blackjersey]

thank you for the kind response.

This is a good forum. close it if you must.

[stat1K]

if i were a mod i would just ban people that had these questions, you clearly didn't read anything on the forum, so if we banned you from posting you would have to read if you wanted the info. get it?
