me and my boy are doin our first honda engine swap and we have some questions,its a b20b from a 97 crv goin into a 95 ex coupe...heres my list of questions,any help is greatly appreciated!

1)what axles do we use?(94-00 teg?)
2)what distributor do we use?
3)will the hood still have clearence to latch down
4)will an integra bottom transmission mount work?
5)whats the best injectors to use if we go turbo?(t3/t4)

were open to any advice,dont rag on us too hard for being dumb about all this shit,like i said its our first swap!

You need to get a B18 b intake manifold to make your hood clear. A b20b is just like an B18b but obd2 and it has a bigger bore. Also you can use the B18b axles. I would use Hasport B series mounts.

if your on a budget, just use integra Ls mounts, but if possible, go hasport. injectors i would say the stock DSM turbo injectors(if you boost it). i would also consider a better I/M like skunk 2 or victor x. if you put a vtec head on it, than you will have the slightest little clearance issue, in the bottom right (or top right, i forget) part of the valve cover, but after a few hood closes, you will be fine...lol. you will also need integra axels or better ie. gator ..etc. you will need integra shift linkage as well (THE FULL LINKAGE, not just one of the two pieces...) and i believe an integra distributor.

What this guy said. Wish I could be of more help, but when I picked up my EG, the swap was already in. I can say that the hood on my car latched fine, even with the factory intake manifold/resonator box in place. I can say, however; that it seems to latch much better and sit in a more flush fashion with the LS intake manifold on.

Hope this helps somewhat.

1. Use 94-01 Integra axles with the half shaft from the same year. You can also use 90-93 axles as well.

2. You can do a mixture of distributors to make it work. The reason is that you might get an OBD2 motor and the distributor plug will not plug into the civic harness. I always take the guts from the original car and put them into the new engines distributor (makes it plug and play).

3. the clearance will be fine.

4. You can use all of the civic mounts except for the front lower trans mount that bolts to the underside of the frame. Also to retain A/C you will need to use the A/C bracket from a Del Sol with the DOHC engine. You will need the T bracket off of a 94-01 integra (rear trans mount bracket) Also you should change the front engine mount bracket to one from an integra (the bracket sticking out of the timing cover).

5. Will depend on the power that you are trying to make.

Not true. B20Z manifold will clear a stock EG hood.

The B20B intake manifold has a clearance issue. I don't know about the B20Z
