Hybrid Theory

I'm planning on swapping my b16a block fo a b20b. The question is instead of using a stand alone ecu, can I just install a piggyback computer such as the V-afc together with a fuel regulator, change my fuel pump to a high flow unit and and a bigger nozzle?? Need help fast :tongue:

i think it can be done, normally a stand alone is for more refine tuning..vafc would be enough to support ur project

Block swap

Yep... it can be done. I am currently using this setup... head b16a... block b20b... mods include all head works such as springs, retainers, cams, valves, port and polish... changed the pistons though as the oversize valves knock on the b20b pistons... am using high comp pistons from je with standard bore... other mods were also done...

engine management parts... using piggyback can be done... myself now using greddy e-manage... fuel pump will do the trick to put in more fuel... you will need bigger injectors also as the original b16a injectors are not enough...

Hai just wan to know..actually im my engine is stock small v-tec with non-LSD g/b.Can swapping b20b block be done with my current engine.How much does it cost?Is it nescessary to change stuff(pistons,cams,etc) like u did when swapping b16a to b20b block.

block swap

yep... it can be done... however... alang alang ma... tambah another 1-2 k you can get big vtec head already... from my experience... with my setup... you need to change the pistons when you swap to b20b block... cause when the vtec kicks in, the pistons might hit the valve... (b20b block i'm using is a non-vtec model, so there is no groove for vtec... thus the knock). however... in my case, i changed the valves to a bigger ones, so that might be the root of the problem. i got a knock sensor meter for b16a that i no longer need (after changing the pistons). if you are interested, pm me.
