Anyone seen or know if you can swap a complete CRV engine into a EK chassis without doing the b20 vtec conversion?
Can the inlet be swapped for a b16 / b18 on the crv head? The crv inlet looks too big for the EK engine bay but i could be wrong
If you got the ecu from a obd2b 1999 - 2001 in theory it should plug into a facelift EK loom and away you go?
Id also want to change the gearbox but im looking into it for a daily driver. They're putting out upto 150bhp / 140lb-ft standard and the powerband would be lower down which for a daily would be better than a higher reving vtec engine imo. And surely with the better inlet and a few other mods it could be quicker than a standard b16?
