Yes, besides in the CR-V, they are also found in various Honda station wagons in Japan (orthia, stepwagon, etc) which get various hp/tq ratings from Honda due to various fuel maps, intakes, and exhaust manifolds. They are all also labeled as B20B, so if you are getting a JDM engine, you really have no idea what you are getting without some thorough research/documentation - most of the ones they are bringing over are the low compression ones. The only one of them that should differ from the the USDM B20B's and B20Z's specs is the JDM one that has the P8R head (larger vtec sized valves) instead of the P75. It also has an LS style intake manifold and has 9.2:1 CR due to a thinner head gasket (still has the low compression pistons and the same cams as a USDM B20B). This one came in the different wagons only in certain years. That's why I mentioned going to a local salvage yard and getting a 1999-2001 B20Z, so that you know that you are getting the good one. JDM engines are a complete gamble - the only way to identify the high compression one is by the knock sensor (all of the ones with the same specs as the b20z should have one - I am told that is is green on the JDM engines - my USDM engine had a brown one on the back of the block under the IM). So, which one do you have?
