Bought it cheap as and it looks like who ever did the conversion didnt get to the finishing point... they've cut all the wiring harness, sensors, dash is out computer is gone and i dont know where to start but im goin to upload some photos... ive got a e6k haltek and a laptop but i don't know anything about the engine internals yet, contimplating striping everything or just trying to hook this haltek up with a new wiring harness??

pics will help, maybe start with a stock loom and see if you can adapt a hondata, much easier when its plug and play, unless ur happy to spoend hours making up looms...

You can't fit other B series heads to a B20A. At least they don't just bolt on.
There is a 3rd gen still for sale on preludeaustralia I believe with a CRV B20B bottom end and CTR (B16A I guess) head. You would need to speak to the previous owner though since I believe they did the conversion.
So to confirm though, this really is the stock prelude b20a engine with a b series VTEC head? Or a b20b bottom end like the car I mentioned?

yeah i'll tryn find out what head i got then get a stock loom for that i guess? what is a hondata?? and to adrenalin i was reading documents about a bloke who was converting b16 heads to fit on b20a by changing bolt holes and oil passiges, so i assumed it was one of them but ill take a flik , bkauz it definately aint standard...
