ok so ive been checking it out bout gettin a swap cuz if i do turbo i will using the same amount of money but ill mess up my engine.
So i was thinking bout the F20B cuz its cheaper than the H22 but my problem is how hard will it be to placing the engine into my 96lx?
Will i be able to use the same tranny out my car and which ECU should i get?
I know that i have to find out how to wire Vtec?

 

[AHHVTEC]

yes you can use your stock tranny, and it will be the same as a h swap very easy

 

[snoopyloopy]

yes, f20b will bolt to your stock tranny.
you should get an f20b ecu if possible.
yes, you have to wire in vtec.

 

[AHHVTEC]

but remeber they make the same hp but the h22a has more tork

ok so its easy right what kind of complications may i need to expect is it just the wiring now the f20b when i look where im trying to buy it from H-motors online
all it shows 97-98 where does this engine come from?
Also which ECU should i use to do this swap cuz i got this book that kind of helps on swapping but kinda hard to understand, that is says to use jdm ecu cuz of usdm ecus have this type of security device that wont let something happen

Also is the F20B a good engine to turbo
