what do you think, all I would need then is an ECU, Axles, Tranny, and wiring harness (and all the other small stuff) is this a good deal? Think I should do it? I e-mailed them and they have 3 in stock so I could get it fairly soon.

749 isn't bad for JDM Honda engines, but its only the 126 hp version. Although the compression would be perfect for turboing. What's the plan here, swap and boost?

[David]

yea I want to boost it later on down the road (but it would be a while) only problem is i've herd the sleeves arn't the best in the world, so they arn't that boost friendly

[David]

thats all I get, come on!

I'd say don't buy that unless you're willing to put the money into it to turbo it right off the bat. With the extra weight, you're gonna be slower than right now with the B20, especially that model, and probably not going to be happy. Sure its cheap, but I don't think its the best solution. I'm no Honda Ghandi though.

Hmotorsonline has them for that price as well. I dont see what the big deal is. PM Tobi. He has a friend that is selling one. Better to get one locally as you can see for yourself.

i had the same stock motor as him, i put my B20 in, and a huge noticeable difference inpower :)

900 with shipping i think...so add 250 for ecu, 200 for axles, 600 for tranny...
that's now 1950...eekkkkkk

Might as well just do an h22a for that price... get everything with it. :p

[Kellly]

becareful turbo'ing a b20 the sleeves are pretty thin. (it basically a bored out b18b)
i have looked into it awhile back, its alot of trouble if you wanna boost above 6-7 psi.

why not turbo/build the z6? they put down some good #'s.

whats you hp goals?
