B series is always the best choice for a daily driver. The H22 will have gobs of torque but its a tough swap and your handling will go to shit with all that weight up front (regardless of what other people say). i would go for a b20b from an earlier CR-V (already has a low, boostable compression).

i agree about the b16 head. The GS-R head is better. First off, it flows very well and second, the GS-R head has quench zones and a better combustion chamber design. If you get the block decked ect. you can have just as high compression as putting the b16 head on there.

I would go with the b20. If you get the b20b from the earlier CR-V, it comes stock with 8.8:1 compression so you could turbo it from the start, get a good manifold cause the stock b20 intake mani. is too tall. Let me know when you want to get rid of your b18b, I would be interested in taking...

I'm looking for a 2nd Gen CRX shell. I dont care if the engine is blown or missing. If you have a high miles Rex, I might be willing to take it off your hands. Cars in Central Jersey are preferred especially if I have to tow it. Not looking for a car with mods but LET ME KNOW! Send your...

How much for the CRX and in what condition?

First thing to do is look at the radiator you do have. If you still have a stock LS radiator that may be the prob. When i dropped a GS-R into my civic, I just used an automatic civic radiator, its got a much thicker core. I have no problems with heat. Make sure your temp sensor is working...

Im going for a B20 turbo as well. At this point, i want to worry about tuning the turbo end first. I dont want to have to fuck with VTEC and turbo. Isnt the B20 head the same as an LS with diffrent cams? I was thinking about just port\polish the head, throw some cams at it and get a GS-R...

Ok, the deal is a high boosting B20b....does anyone know who makes a good computer for this application?

Alright, I've decided to finally build a monstrous turbo civic. I'm about to pick up an 89 CR-X and I want to drop a B20 turbo into it. Don't need details about suspension or any of that crap. This is my first turbo engint that i have built and im not fully knowledgable about them. This is...

B20 turbo has real good potential. I planning on doing the same thing. Like you said, sleeves, ported head, you'll need a new intake manifold if your using a b20b (it has lower compression as is).
