SWAP HELP

[NOCLUE]

Ok everyone, Im stuck between two motors and need your info, they

are the B16a or the B20b from passwordjdm, not trying 2 make crazy hp

just ditching the sohc and want something just as reliable, which one and

why in your opinion. Thanks

[HatchHero]

b20 is going to be cheaper and will make more tq than the 1.6. make sure you get the one with the smaller intake mani. if you get the one with big asS intake mani i think you have to use a LS intake mani. i have a B16a2 and its a good daily but just to slow. there is threads all over this site with opinions on these two motors. what tranny are you using

[NOCLUE]

well b16 tranny if i get that from my friend, and or if i go B20 then ill be shoping because the one on password does not come with tranny

[HatchHero]

b16 tranny with b20 motor will run good numbers in 1/4 mile

yeah thats its LOL change dat ShIt

[yunglaosta]

yeah man, b20 with a b16 tranny would be sick. more torque = whoop whoop, lol. i wanted to do a b20 swap, but changed my mind into...a little something better lol.

[NOCLUE]

ya ive been leaning tord the B20

[NOCLUE]

how about gas?

[yunglaosta]

how about gas?

gas mileage? it's a honda :crazy: . haha jp, well you might still be able to get good mileage. dont worry about it, b20 and 87 gas works well, lol. unless your boosting, nitrous or an all motor build. :goodjob:

[NOCLUE]

so it will be just as good as the sohc (gas), ya all motor, no boost 4 me at lease not for a while

[yunglaosta]

well, its to many factors to that question you just asked. i guess it's just the way you drive that determines your mpg. in my opinion if you get atleast 30 mpg's then your okay, lol. based on what i've seen about single cams, they can get atleast 35 or maybe even 40 mpg.

[NOCLUE]

yup yup

[Barefoot]

b20

[yunglaosta]

btw good luck with the swap man

x2^ Plus putting a B16 into a 4-door is not the best idea, no tq in a heavier car:no:. Go with the B20 it will be faster and cheaper....

[NOCLUE]

Ya i think i will being going B20

[Barefoot]

good move

[yunglaosta]

just remember the sleeves on the b20 sucks, lol

[Barefoot]

[NOCLUE]

its clear

B20 will be pretty sweet. I'm still a fan of the LS b18.. b20 will probably be a better deal though. And you will love it! And as for gas mileage.. I don't think you're going to be drinking gas with a stock b20. When.. and if you put a vtec head on it.. It'll go to shit unless you drive like a granny. ITR tranny + 5800rpm vtec = probably 12-16 lol.
My dodge ram hemi gets way better mileage to a tank than my si. :yes:
I could also use a good tune.. :ninja:
I love it though.. :goodjob:

[j0natell0]

go b20 all day dude its a perfect daily drive. its in my car right now and it pulls. nothing crazy but u still have a fun daily drive. I have the jdm b20b swap fs, in perfect condition, and no mo hondas can vouch for it. It even comes with the ls intake manifold AND ls ecu so u dont even have to buy those cause the b20 intake manifold is high like giraffe pussy. here is a thread of it so u can check it out :goodjob:. lmk!

EG 94

[yunglaosta]

yeah, you'll be happy with a b20. if your going to build it, remember to get it sleeved.

[Black4DrEK]

Man get some VTEC in your life !!!!!

[MidLifeCrisis]

the b20s are rad.. you cant run either intake mani, so dont worry about which one it comes with.

PERSONALLY, i dont recommend using a B16 tranny unless you plan on cracking the case and popping in an LS or GSR 5th gear.. a b20 at 80 mph with a b16 tranny is gonna be rough on the motor and on your ears and pocket. try a GSR instead..

^LOL I got 30mpg with that car:thinking:. The only thing a B20 isn't good for is boost, if u plane on doing that later on then do an LS, and if not B20 all the way:goodjob:

[NOCLUE]

GSR

[yunglaosta]

just get the b20, get it sleeve it, boost it and call a day

[Dylan]

i was in that same position not to long ago..if i were u id go with the b20.good building block and more torque.gl with whatever you decide.

[jerseyef9]

b20 all the way man just simple fact it has more room to grow up my .02

[NOCLUE]

what mounts, post bracket do i need 4 the b20 in the civic (eg- dx)

[Barefoot]

teg tranny, rear t bone, and the aluminum mount for the drivers side. not required but still are nice to have both tq mounts. 1 from the tranny side other from the a/c.

[EF-9]

b20 ftw man

[yunglaosta]

get some hasport mounts if u can afford them
