looking to buy a 92' integra that comes with a b20 conversion already installed with skunk2 intake, custom manifold and hiflow cat etc, 18inch konigs, type R brakes, drilled + slotted rotors, coilover suspension.. and so on..

anywayz Welcome to Ozhonda!
you will find plenty of info on this site and dont forget that handy search button.
now for a good b20vtec conversion your looking at around 5-7k with tune.
theres a thread in the all motor section i think called the b20vtec disscussion thread.

where did you get that from? any proof to back this up or you just pulling figures outta your arse Sam?

Question for OP: Why the B20? just want to know your reason for this conversion?

have you read the thread?
if your gonna build a decent b20vtec with all good parts and not cheap shit it can get towards 5-7k easy.
also including port and polishing, referb and shaving head, bottom end rebuild with good parts...
yes you can do it cheap for about 2-4k...

[Timmy_B]

sam, 5-7k is a good price for any build. Thats not over budget. But thats a fully worked b20. put the same money into a b18cr and see the results. Plus type r motors are still pricey, so you could be looking at 4k + just for motor.
