Question is, why do you want the extra displacement?

why would you not want extra displacement?
more cubes equals more torque and more power.
if the toss up is between a thoroughly worked 1800 and a thoroughly worked 2000cc motor for similar money, you'd be crazy not to go for the extra capacity. unless the rules in whatever category you're competing in stipulate nothing over 1800cc.
it is much cheaper to source, build and install a b20 than it is to do likewise with a k20. k20 is the way of the future, but unless you've got deep pockets, it's not really the way of the present :)

for b series boys its must practical for b20 for k series boys its the k24!!!!

not B16, B18... and arent all B series blocks the same its just the stroke, bore and pistons that are changed accordingly???

as u said LS/VTEC = b16a head with B18A block. CRVTEC is B16A head with B20B block.

B18A block = B20B block with smaller bore. B20B 84mm, b18A 81mm.
same crank.
cheers.

Easy, pushing more displacement out of the engine is a lot of messing around, when you could just go for a more agressive cam grind, and get much better results. Granted it would be more top end, but if I wanted a nice torquey engine, I'd get something turbocharged, or go an inline 6.

Pushing displacement just doesn't make much sense unless your engine is already pretty full on, and you can't get much more out of the top end, and just wanna smooth the power band a bit.

How is it messing around?
You take an oem crv block, and don't do anything to it...
the headwork for the 2.0l and 1.8l would be pretty much the same. the extra cc's are well worth it imo.
