going to do the installiation soon and i know i have to remove the front sway bar to get the motor to fit,what about the oil pan ,does this have to be modified too.

 

oh!! so u is the guy with the 2nd gen with the 13bRE motor,i've been hearing about u and that 20b install good luck

 

If you have the money, do a really good job. Do not remove the sway bar, have mounts made for you, and switch to a dry sump setup.

 

that dry sump is going to cost,yes i am the guy with the 13b rew in a 2nd gen,left hand drive too,pulling motor out soon ,building 20b probably next week,have all new internals,just finished porting it.This stuff is time consuming but its well worth it .

 

The 20B with a stock oil pan will not fit in an FC with a stock suspension if the stock transmission is used. Some ways around this include, but are not limited to...
1) Modify the oil pan.
2) Convert to dry sump.
3) Modify the sway bar.
4) Relocate the front suspension.
5) Relocate the engine.
6) Remove the sway bar (probably not such a great idea).

So no, you do not NEED to remove the front sway bar to make the engine fit, and you do not NEED to modify the oil pan. It all depends on what you want.

 

yo can mouth the engine back alil and it will fit but tnen u have to move the steering rack forward a lil..pm 203rotor he has a fc witha 20b

or the site www.can-saf.com

 

That is the method I would choose. It's a little more custom work, but hell, this is a 20B conversion, so there's a fair amount anyway.

Opens up some more room up front for IC, Rad, filter, etc plus helps out with your weight distribution.

 

does a 20B bolt straight up to a FC drive train? what about if its automatic??

 

Yes, it bolts right up to either.

 

Yes bout your standard drivetrain will not last long.
