Just wondering if anyone has installed a B20b (from a CRV) in their EK.
I know its popular to do an Frankenstein conversion (b16a/b18c head) but I just want to know if anyone has done the B20b on its own.
If so, what do you need to do this conversion.
Preferably EK1 guys
ill be doing a B20 into EKL1 in Feb
my mates got 1..i think his name here is klr16a...and my other mates got 1 in a eg
i had a b20vtec on my ek exi before
Thanks Guys.
What did you need to do it? Could you just get a front cut from a CRV and use that? from my searches and google, they use parts from all other hondas to make it
Any body?
I havent done this swap but I recall reading something about needing to change the intake manifold.
As the CRV has a very tall manifold it wont fit under an EK/EG hood when the swaps done.
if ur goin to that effort, mite as well buy a b16 or b18 head an drop it on the block... b20 by itself isnt that great, only when a vtec head is dropped on it, than it shows its potential
have you even been into a b20b ek?Quote:

he did the swap for 1100 including motor but that was B series to B series
Hammered a B16a, both using I/E... the B16a had headers as well
At first I was saying pfft, B20B from a CRV out of all things but I shut up afterwards.
EK I believe is lighter? so I'd imagine that it would haul... and even then a b18c head can go on later if need be
Like I said, the appealing thing was the $1100 installed!!! but obviously a little more expensive going from D series to B series since I'd need the gearbox, mounts etc as well
I found this link

Can any one relate?
You should probably look into getting a better B series gearbox aswell.
who and where was this swap done??!?!?! lolQuote:
