I was wondering if doing a budget B20Z non-vtec conversion on an eg civic (fuel injected) is worthwhile - especially for the economically disadvantaged :(
not worthwhile IMO
Coming from a D15B7, a B20Z would give me an additional 30kw/45nm.
yes, but a B16A would also be a relatively big increase
The engines are relatively cheap but is the conversion as simple as a B16 or B18?
almost exactly the same. (they are the same family of engines)
Would I be able to use the gearbox and ecu from CRV to minimise cost?
this *might* minimise costs, but will also minimise performance
