Hot SH*T. Thats alot of work. thanks and congrats to you man.

 

I am getting a deal for 1950 for a complete b20b swap with everything except mounts. It was also stated that I will need an ls intake manifold for the b20 manifold will not fit under my hood because it is too long. Is $1950 a good deal? How much wiring am I looking at? I am in a 2000 civic EX coupe. What ecu will I need? Will I need any kind of tuning down to get it to run right? Will I be throwing any codes?

 

well 1950 for a long block without trans is a bad deal...what trans are u gonna get i have a ls trans that i have abused the crap out of for two years and its held up fine. wiring should not be a huge deal..if u get a obd 2 motor u wont have to convert to obd1 .if i were u though i save and get a vtec motor..like a gsr/type r / or maybe even a h22. i have a ls motor in my civic and its cool but the n/a no vtec seems very limitied unless i rebuild the entire motor.

 

My B20 is bone stock with a turbo kit bolted on. My best time is in my sig, but that was with my gsr tranny. With the ls tranny i have now i ran a 12.1@120 with a slipping clutch. When i had a bone stock B20b i ran a friend with a B16 hatch with some minor bolt ons and we stayed side by side on the interstate from about a 60-100 roll or so.
As far as money, a B20b swap will probably cost you less to do than any other motor simply because you can find a B20b long block for $700-$500.

 

I'll be selling a b20 longblock rather soon, with LS intake manifold, PM me if you're interested

 

So if I pay 1900 for the complete b20 swap would that be a fair price? It has everything to bolt on into my car.

 

It depends on what your "complete swap" consists of. You can get a B20b long block for around $700-$900, then you need to by a transmition which varys in price on what transmition you want. Then Motor mounts which vary depending on if you buy them new from honda, new from hasport, or used from junkyards or various other people. Then Intake manifold/throttle body, Axles, Shift linkage, Throttle cable, Crank pulley if you decide not to use the stock B20 one, ECU if you dont want to use your single cam ecu, and dont forget about a clutch and flywheel. There are probably more things i am forgetting about. But i wouldnt really consider a swap complete unless they are installing it for you because there is always something missing. Either it be a couple bolts, axles, etc. They are usually short in some department.

 

can you put up a rough monetary value of a complete b20b swap? I've been doing research and seen that the b20 really has weak sleeves. I was planning to run boost with it..is that a good idea?

 

A b20 with a gsr tranny is a very decent swap my boy had one in a eg coupe and he was hangin with a srt neon and he was all motor when he sprayed he busted the srt's ass

 

How weak are the sleeves? If i was planning to run all stock b20 with an ls tranny...would it be safe to boost??? I mean boost without any problems??
