Finally! So tired of reading arguments on forums. Don’t leave a thing out man!

[@Donnythelatemodeltech]

Thanks for sharing Devin. 👍!

I agree, I discovered more overlooked things watching your videos than reading those old forums

[@afgaming3609]

Much agreed thank you for documenting this process

[@CorleoneGF]

I have 99’ Honda crv m/t thinking about install B16A heads, also want OBD1 conversions. Delete crank position sensor, knock sensors and eliminate down streams O2 sensors. Love it ❤ good job!

[@Mike-ry4ti]

Awesome build dude, I run an Opel Vectra (GM car) electric/ hydro power steering pump in my prelude, just two short hoses to and from the rack- that way you can toss your belt driven pump. You do need to be running at least an 80A alternator however...

[@Donnythelatemodeltech]

Very nice!

[@kalmtraveler]

great video! I always wanted to do something like this on my old Prelude that had the grandfather B-series, B20A but it was a bit more work because in addition to the oil supply, we had to slightly open up I think the 4 outer most head bolt holes (like the belt side and transmission sides of the motor) since those were slightly not in line with the newer B series heads, and that pretty much meant requiring a custom head gasket too instead of using its original, or a VTEC head gasket. Unrelated though - if you wanted to take it one step further, get some Integra Type R style pistons for the CRV block for extra compression and thus more high end power, and some beefier connecting rods to handle the higher RPMs long term.

[@JJBanuelos]

Coming along pretty nice! Part 2 looks to be a little spicy

[@Camo-Dan]

Great video, loved watching this . I want to have a b series b20 in my crx someday. Your garage is well lit and so nice! Super fun.

[@Donnythelatemodeltech]

Always wanted a CRX. Most appreciated Dan. Take care man

[@andrearce1099]

I bought a car with this setup boosted. Wanting to tune it up and get it tuned. When looking for spark plugs and wires, am i getting those for the b16 motor? Or is it wires for a b16 and plugs for a b20? Someone please help me

[@LemondzzPvP]

Only thing that would make this better is links to the products that you bought but thank you so much for this video!

[@Donnythelatemodeltech]

I can add links, but I really didn't buy most of this trough Amazon. What did you need?

@@Donnythelatemodeltech my bad just now seeing this, where did you pick up the head plug, and the vtec oil return line? also a link to the gates water pump kit would be sweet

Yes I have a 301 k manual 2000 crv that I'm currently about to do this to and your video was greatly appreciated I will be tryna daily boost it with the s1 build driveshaft and locking plates cuz those stock driveshafts arent too great with more power

Like the safety shoes 👟 😂!

[@Donnythelatemodeltech]

Lol, the adidas slides are super comfortable, lol.

[@CaptainTexas92]

Another banger. Still debating on Vtec/non Vtec just for the reliability sake. I forgot to ask you on the other video, being that your throttle body and IACV are automatic transmission units have you been having erratic idle issues?

[@Donnythelatemodeltech]

So after the manual swap i did go to a manual throttle body and ecu.. / the car wouldn't idle high enough with the ac on... the compressor would kick on and off. Even with the ecu and throttle body. /Now the car is vtec, I'm running a socketed obd 1 ecu - p28. Using honda tuning suite it idles great, I have full control of the idle... ac on and off. Its a wonderful tool. So, it is more reliable now than ever... I see and control everything.

[@CaptainTexas92]

@@Donnythelatemodeltech that’s what I heard. Apparently the only way to totally fix it is to run M/T harnesses, IACV, and T/B. Thanks for the update good to know.

Yes sir. Pretty much the same stuff , the intake manifold is where it gets alittle different.

[@TradingBotWizard]

Amazing video. 🙌 The B20 distributor does work in fact, but you have to cut an ear off to make it fit, and only one bolt will line up to attach it to the head. Not ideal, but it does work, if someone wants to go budget, or, if they want to just get it running before their new distributor comes in

[@anthonychavira578]

What hoses did you get for radiator I bought a car that this was already done to it its in a 2000 EM1 civic want to change hoses but everything I order I always have to send back because nothing ever fits ...

Im so confused on the part where you torque the head bolts. Overall it’s 80ft pounds. So you first torque it to 20 and then you torque it to 60? Aren’t you supposed to go 20 first and then 80?

20 60 80 with arp studs. Oem bolts 20 60. I didn't record the 80ftlbs step. I got a phone call during the recording and just forgot.

@@Donnythelatemodeltech makes total sense now. Thank you!

Does taking the oil from before the oil filter lower oil psi, require more oil to run or starve the system from lubrication?

[@Donnythelatemodeltech]

I don’t think it affects the psi, I do run alittle more oil though

[@anotherdedchannel]

I actually think most oil filter sandwich plates run filtered oil out of their ports. It usually doesn't bypass the filter.

Best , to have the head resurfaced before installation.
