jerrodh Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 If you'll boosting the I know I've heard quite a few things about the b20 not being good without rebuilding the block because its weak. Not made as a performance motor so keep that in mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNooPYjdm Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 you should rebuild any motor if you plan to boost it if you want a significant power gain...the b20z block is fine jus would definatly need to resleeve it if you plan to boost..as for the b20z vs. the b18b i would go with the b20z little more hp with a little more torque...b20z has 146hp and 133 ft/lb of torque as for the b18b it has 142hp and 127 ft/lb or torque...i would go wit the b20z my friend has one swaped in his EG n it pulls pretty hard but you wont make that much power without a vtec head or boost but would be a quick daily driver..

97blackonblackcivic. Posted July 14, 2008 Author Share Posted July 14, 2008 a quick daily is just what i want, see my single is going bad, i dont know what is wrong with it and i dont wanna put any money into it anymore. i can pick up a b20z from a junk yard for like 600 and a tranny for like 400 more, so ill probably spend less than 1500 for everything.

alex37211 Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 That sounds like a good deal. I'd go with the b20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNooPYjdm Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 yea go with the b20 it will be a good swap with plenty of potential for later down the road when you want even more power with either a vtec head swap or boostin it...thats a pretty good deal what tranny are you going to put on there cuz i hope your not buying the b20 tranny for 400 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tubbith Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Snoopy, just a random drunken thought here, i had a '93 coupe with b18 swapped in.. pulls hard for a DD.. if thats what your looking for wouldnt cost too much to do and IMHO is very much worth it. As far as the OP.. i have to +1 on the more pics. Of the car, or the motor, or both together.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
