The B20 will need a b18b, b18c or B16 Transmission to bolt to, Integra mounts, shift linkage, etc to swap in. It will be alot more work for a slower engine. However It can take a b16 or B18c DOHC Vtec head and go B20vtec and they it will be pretty quick. However you will have to make the bottom end stronger. Even then for the money you spend on your B20vtec the JDM D15b will still smoke you.

If you couldn't tell I highly recommend the JDM D15b, Get the LSD Tranny with it. basic I/H/E and you will beat up on B20 and B18a/b swaps. A little nitrous and you will be beating up LSvtecs and B20vtecs and B16 swaps.

I Speak from Experience. I had a D16z6 with a bottle that took everyone down. :thumb:

yes the d15b vtec is a little beast but..... with my stock ls swap i am yet to get beat by any NA sohc, other ls swap, b16 swap, and a couple untuned ls-vtecs.... dont know if my motor is just a beast, or i'm outdrivin all these fools. my buddy has 15b in that waay light coupe (75 lbs less than my hatch and i weight more than him) he struggles to keep up and he's probly a better driver than i. all these races have went down at the drag strip too.... i've noticed the B16 swaps start to catch me on the top end but not within that quarter!!!
