nah.

fuel pump is in the fuel tank (i.e. nothing to do with engine) and water pump is the same 19 tooth item.

maybe you are thinking of B20B3 vs B20B8?

correct me if i am wrong, but B20B8 specs = B20Z specs

Yes that is correct B20Z is a US engine.

Kraiye - If you were in Sydney, i would gladly help you find a cheap b20b8. I don't know how much its in Brisbane, but its best to go to a wrecker not some dreamer that offers them for 1grand. A B16a isn't worth more than about 2 grand with the box.

i used one on my last B20, it was fine.

but your tuner must have the right program on their laptop... i *think* it is called fc-datalogit or something?

just using the hand controller is not an easy or effective way...

i wish the ones selling these motors on the forums think the same as you

thanks mate appreciate it
problem is, most of the wreckers up here ARE dreamers
i was waiting on a price to get a short block shipped from japan (kind of 'on the side') but the guy never got back to me.

[bennjamin]

prices which YOU think an item is worth...is NOT what it IS actually worth. Wreckers sell for whatever they CAN sell to someone lol.

[kraiye]

other way round mate... prices which THEY think an item is worth...is NOT what it IS actually worth.

thats what i've been finding with the jap wreckers up here anyway.

[bennjamin]

i guess my point is the worth is what it sells for , or what it can sell for. Just because youor me think its worth say $2k - isnt stopping the wrecker advertising it for $3.5k and selling it for that eventually to a noob.
