Nope. You need an aftermarket flywheel that will bolt to an automatic rear counterweight. The 240mm T2 (turbo) flywheel works, I think.

No, not the stock one.

Wait, let me change that...
Yes, you can literally bolt the flywheel on, but the engine would not be dynamically balanced anymore.
It is not recommended to do this.

The flywheel from the FD is meant to balance a 2 rotor motor, rotors 180 degrees from each other.

20b has 3, 120 degrees apart. The dynamics are quite different.

Yes, an aluminum flywheel with 20B wedge (counterweight) is good. Then again, aluminum isn't as strong as steel, but it is lighter. It's up to you.

I went with an RB light steel flywheel.

sorry just to clarify this, an aftermarket flywheel designed for a 13b will also be no good for a 20B? I have a cusco clutch+flywheel, will the flywheel work with my 20B?

cheers,

rob.

Tell us how the aftermarket flywheel bolts to the engine. Does it have six small holes and one large hole in the middle? Or just one large hole in the middle? My guess is it has the six small holes. This means it will bolt to the 20B's rear counterweight.
