Hey guys

My timing belt snapped three days ago and instead of fixing the head and staying with a 145k mile motor i think i'm going to buy a B20z from an engine supplier. Anyways, what i need to know is, does this motor just drop in? i need to know if the mounts, dizzy, axles, Intake mani, ecu etc will swap over from the b18b incase i get something broken with my new motor? I really need to know this asap, i asked on h-t but what do you know, no replies!!! I believe it just drops right in but i could be wrong? Let me know. Thanks

also need to know if there are any wiring differences?

just use your electronics and ecu and ---- and the intake and injectors and yes your dizzy will work as for will it just drop in..no you will need to either source the correct mounts or you can get them on ebay for like 250 shipped thats the route i went and the work really well..and by the way you will love the b20z its a great motor had one in my ef and that bitch ripped for a allmotor car could spank b16 hatches and the norm..the same short block is now under a b16 head in my 95 hatch..

so i can use everything off of my integra but i can't use my mounts? it's not going into a civic, its a Db integra. What do you guys think of a b20z compared to a b16? I know they are two completely different motors but the only reason i'm leaning away from a b16 is because of the low torque numbers. Also, when i go check out the motor is it the same motor that the engine suppliers call a 99+ Crv motor? or is the b20z just a usdm motor?

wait so if i go and pull a b20 out of a freakiin crv i can just drop it in my da and hook everything up as if i were putting another a1 in it?
