Dude seriously. Have you read your thread? I just said in my first post that i have a BONE STOCK B20b and i have been running 14lbs of boost daily for 8 months and 6 of those months ive been delivering pizzas with it putting 50-100 miles on it a day. I have had ZERO problems with it. Just get hondata and get it tuned. But if you are scared of the supposed weak sleeves of a B20 then dont get one. Go spend more money and buy yourself a smaller motor like a B18

Thanks for you help mp5, but I have read your thread. You are one of the few that is actually running that set up. Thanks for you input, but I am trying to see if anyone else is running it. All I know is that there are alot of people out there that don't run the same setup but only read about it. I just need more assurance because I already order my b20. What kind of turbo setup u're running? I am worry because this is my 3rd motor. Thanks again man.

People read about it on Honda-tech and other forums and hear horror stories about people who spend the money for the setup and then go cheap on the tune by using a FMU and SAFC controller. The point is that if you do not get your car tuned and tuned well then your motor will blow. If you are going to spend the money for the motor and the turbo setup why not spend the money for a decent fuel management system? And i pieced my turbo kit together. And good luck with what you decide to do. And i am not saying a B20 will not blow. Hell i am just waiting for mine to go. As of now it isnt showing any weaknesses so ill probably end up building it before it blows

I got the motor in. Which ecu do I have to use? Can it run it off my 2000 ex coupe ECU or can I run it of a OBD LS ecu?

I got a Jdm B20B in my integra, using a Skunk2 Intake manifold. I like it a lot, but thinking about dropping a turbo kit on it and pushing about 7psi daily. Good info MP5. Glad to see the motor can hold at least 14 psi. ANd I agree with the tuning part.

Motor is about to go in. Put new water pump, timing belt, alternator belt and clean out some other bs. Question what Distrubitor do i do use? I am running the wiring harness from a 00 civic ex coupe. I also need "air intake temperature sensor", the one the intake manifold fartherest right on the passenger side. Where can I find that? Other than that I think I am set. Motor is going in tonight. Thanks again in advance for all your help.
