Hi, I got a quick question regarding engine swaps. A friend of mine killed his B18C in his 92 Delsol. He's a little low on money and I informed him of the a B20B/Z from a CRV being cheaper than a B18C. [He isn't a car guy.] I think this swap is going to be straight forward. Remove the dead B18C engine & ECU. (sorry not for sale) Install a B20B or Z. Ie. Mounts should line up? Use the B18C wiring harness Install the B20b/z ecu He's planning on using the B18C transmission. (good?) I know I need a new t-belt, waterpump, clutch kit, etc. If I'm overlooking something let me know. Chris
The mounts should line up. All B series have there mounts in the same spot. Harness should be the same as a LS. I was told a b20 is just a bigger ls. anyways the tranny will work fine. I mean for fuck sake man its a type r tranny
use a b20b, cuase i got one for sale. itr and gsr's lsd's are completely different. gsr has clutch type and the itr doesnt.
I was thinking about going with a b20z since it's almost the same price as B20B. Also I would need a clutch for the b18C transmission or b20z? I think that's about the only thing I over looked. Chris
everything will work fine just try and get a 94-95 ls ecu i have it now it runs way harder. so use that b18c ecu
o yeah go with the b20b because the z has a high throttle body and you wont be able to close your hood, and use da same clutch from your b18c
Another update and a bonus for me. My friend decided to toss the B20B idea and go the H22 route. I never done a H22 in a 93 del sol before.... this could be interesting. I have some serious research in the next few months to do.
H22 swap isnt hard, if you have any questions my AIM is the same as my longin here. I have done 6 h series swaps and a plethora of b series swaps in my garage.
