Okay, since there seems to be so many different myths out there, regarding the B20. I figured I would get a little bit of information going here, on what I know about the b20. Now, I dont claim to be a b20 expert, but I do claim to know a little bit.
1- Yes, the b20 fits in our cars.
2- Yes, you need any B series cable trans to use it in our car (hydro conversion excluded)
3- Yes, 9 times out of 10 you will need to change the manifold to any B18(A)(B) intake manifold.
4- Yes you can run a OBD0 B20
5- Yes it can be daily driven
6- If you choose to go b20/vtec it still can be daily driven.
7- "Building it right" is not all that hard.
8- Any B series part will fit this motor (any bigger pistons, will have to be aftermarket though)
9- Any B series aftermarket mount kit will work.
10- Yes a B20 will beat a B16.
11- Yes a B20/vtec will tear up a B16
12- Yes a B20/vtec can hang, if not beat, the allmighty B18C's.
13- Yes, that is on a overall stock motor.
14- No, the B20/vtec is NOt unreliable, as long as you are smart about it. Dont try to rev a stock b20/v to 9k rpms. Keep it to closer to 8k rpms.
15- Yes, the B20 sleaves are weak, if you put any piston in there besides a stock compression.
16- Yes, if you want to build a high compression b20/vtec, you will need to get the block resleaved.
17- Yes I love my b20/vtec.
