Hello G2IC!
Well I finally gave into my buddy (DallasMotors) persistence of talking me into buying a 'teg. So on my birthday of last year I picked up with 91 black LS-S with 244,xxx miles on it. NO RUST or body damage what-so-ever, just faded paint on roof and hood. Interior was in desperate need of some cleaning. Seeing as how it was just gonna be my project car, I really didn’t pay much attention to it at first. Sadly we had a horrible tornado and it took my DD '02 Focus SVT:mad:. So instead of paying $10,000 to fix it I let the insurance take it and started up with 'teg.
Since the shocks/struts were blown on all four corners and bald tires, I picked up a set of Tokico Illuminas and Sprint springs, with 4 new Falkens. Just to make my engine sound more “cool” and to up my MPG a tad, I added a SRI.
So after putting all this stuff on, a full detail inside and out and driving it around for a few months, I figured out why everyone likes 'tegs. So my ‘teg has turned into my DD and lovin’ every minute of it!:rockon:
Since my motor is with 255k miles now, I figured it was time to get a new one. So I ordered up a b20b with a P8R head :rockon:, a Blox Intake Manifold with the help of DallasMotors from HMotorsonline. The new motor should be coming shortly and in the car, along with fresh coat of B-92P NIGHTHAWK BLACK PEARL, all hopefully within the next few months.
I have future plans for the 'teg, but that will come at a later post.
Thanks for having a look at my work in progress.
so i was thinking of getting a b20b too. only for 795 no tax in oregon.
My only concern is that if i get a b20b non vtec is it gonna make alot of difference than my stock b18a1? Alot of people are telling me not to get it but i just want a faster motor for now till i get more money for an ls vtec. or maybe i can turn my b20b to a vtec./
idk man let me know what it feels like on your car

In my opinion the b20b will be overall better than a b18a stock for stock (better torque band). I would personally choose to go b20 vtec over LSvtec, my reasoning is that the b20b has more torque than the b18 and from my research, I have seen CRvtecs take better than LSvtecs. They usually have about the same HP with similar modifications (valves, springs, rods, pistons and so forth). The torque is where I personaly liked the b20 over the b18. So yeah I will definitely give my opinion on how the b20b will stand up next to my b18. Keep in mind that my b18 has over 1/4 of a million miles.
