If you decide on a jdm b20 than get the b20b 99-00 spec. The C/R is 9.6:1 and they are rated at around 148 HP, 136 Ft/lbs TQ. Good a$$ torque for a honda, huh? Pretty sweet deal for only $800. Just don't go turbo it. If you do resleeve it and throw in some forged pistons and rods. They only made the b20b in japan, the b20z was made in the U.S. from 99-00. The b20b 96-98 are rated 126 HP, 133 ft/lbs TQ.
