#22210 *dragging this out of the mud*

I've been reading up on the b20 and it looks like a cheap drop in motor with a lot of torque. What if you put a b16 head and tranny on it? Without further headwork and modifications, except bolt ons and tune, what kind of hp are we talking about? And is this hybrid reliable? And last but not least...what ECU to use? :?

yes, I am a b20 noob...

#22352 with a b20+B16 hybrid u can make about 200bhp quite easily with a good tune.

what ecu to use, i dono, i dont have much experience myself :?

but these things cant rev high, any higher than 7500rpm and u risk it going all over the place.
