hey guys,
i was wondering what's a good layout on what i need for a b20 conversion?
engine mounts, b-series gearbox, ecu, throttle body, wiring harness etc
also want to know recommendations on parts, where i can get these stuff in terms of suppliers and also installers.. thanks!

oh btw i forgot to mention NON VTEC and keeping it that way!
----
headers, breather kit and injectors,
x-force 4-2-1 with a hi-flow cat out to a twinloop catback system? how does that sound u rkn?
injectors & breather kit; what do u recommend? i was thinking buying some parts now so that way i can just get my mechanic to install it all at once, im not looking into making it a full mad conversion and all, but later down track if im bored and all to do a turbo setup but that's obviously a while away.. thanks bud for the response =D

Well no vtec?
Cant you just buy the B20B motor, and slap it in with some mounts.
and Custom headers and Exhaust?

cant use the b20b gearbox i think its awd, so he has to use b series gearbox. if not b20vtec then just breather kit, h22a injectors or dc2r injectors, headers to exhaust n your set.
breather kit have a look around, you can make your own aswell just got to be creative

yeah i wish it was that simple aye? i heard that the b20b TB was too big for the engine bay or something.. other than that, i was told to resort myself to something along the lines of any b-series gearboxes bsides the b20 itself, b18/16.. are the dc2r or h22a injectors easy to source out? ill look into more depth on how to make a breather kit! durH! just realised x-forces dont make headers for b20's, guess customs will doo..thanks mikeyG!

what car is it going in would help?
an ek chassis, trading cars with my brother =)
overall the run down i have atm is pretty much a simple setup i guess.. correct me if im wrong..
b20b8 engine
b16a/18b gearbox (affordable)
innovative 60A/75A engine mounts
custom headers 4-2-1 into an x-force twinloop catback
either the LS or b18b TB
d.i.y breather kit suggested by mikeyG
stock ecu & looms
stock injectors
new fuel pump
hopefully im right.. and heading in the right path? haha.. im not going hard-out yet at this stage, but sometime in future there will be plans into vtecing it.. but as of current state with $$$ being the prime factor in all this, i guess im resorting myself to this.. it'll do for the mean time..

b20b8 engine (yep!)
b16a/18b gearbox (affordable) (should be around 300 - 500ish? get the B16A one with the lower rations if possible)
innovative 60A/75A engine mounts (60 is fine)
custom headers 4-2-1 into an x-force twinloop catback (any B series header will fit.)
either the LS or b18b TB (what intake manifold?)
d.i.y breather kit suggested by mikeyG
stock ecu & looms (yep)
stock injectors (yep, but maybe consider a VAFC or adj. FPR)
new fuel pump (i guess?)

I have a b18/20 setup on my eh but its still running the stock ecu as i bought the car like that.
I'm looking to get a Hondata S200 installed.
What else would i need for the ecu to be installed?
Cheers

i think that would mean you need an OBD1 Hondata ecu?
you woudl need to check your ECU code to be 100% sure...
i'd say get a S300 anyways...
