B20 engines? - Honda Forum / Acura Forum

The new CR-Vs in my local Honda dealership sports a nice new 2.4L engine. My question is, what year of the CR-Vs is the B20 engines found?

b20's are in the 2002 because my dad has one.. its tight.

B20's are NOT in the 2002's. B20B in the 1997-1999, and B20Z in the 2000-2001. The 2.4L isn't a B"20" obviously. I forget what it's called.

All CR-V engines have VTEC, right? I'm assuming so, since they're all B-series engine, correct?

Mr. CR-V · 02-16-2002, 01:18 PM

No, the CR-V engines don't have VTEC. The 2002 has i-VTEC. One correction, the B20B was 97-98, and the B20Z was 99-01.

Only the SI, GSR, and ITR engines have the VTEC. All other B series engine don't have it. So the RS,LS, GS, SE integra (which has the B18b) and the CRV (which is the B20) don't VTEC.

Just because the engine is a B series does not mean it has VTEC. Having a V6 Camaro doesn't make you fast becasue you don't have the Z28. Get my point? You just can't generalize for everything.

b20z+itr head= 210whp....lotsa torque too

Does anyone know how you can tell the difference between the b20b and b20z engines by looking at them?

Is it marked somehow? (i've seen a few early '99 cr-v's with the b20b block)

there will be a "b20z" on the block

the 2.4L I believe is a K24 (I could be wrong) and is similar to the RSX engine (K20 for sure)

and no, the CR-V does not have VTEC but you can put a VTEC head on it (b16a, b16b, b18c, b18c5)

I saw an article with a b20/b16a head that made 175 whp...

Are you sure about the B20Z in the 1999 model? Honda says 126hp, not 146hp on their website for preowned vehicles.

sak · 04-05-2002, 04:18 PM

They have an error on their websites. I'm certain that the '99 were B20Z meaning 146hp instead of the old 126hp engine

Red Si · 04-06-2002, 09:56 PM

What would be better, the B20b or the B20z? I'm planning on putting my B16a head on a B20 bottom end, after it is balanced and blueprinted of course. What is the difference in these blocks? How much hp do you guys think I'll be putting out to the ground with my current set up, along with the B20 block and running about 11.5:1 compression?

It doesnt matter which one you use since the only difference in the engines is the compression ratio. Since you will need to replace the pistons and rods anyway, either block will work the same. You should expect to get about 200-210 HP at the wheels depending on the cams you use and how it is tuned
