20b drifter
 
Im thinking fo doing a 20b swap into my second gen. First off i know its expensive and I know it will fit but will be hard to do. I want to know if anyone knows someone who drifts with a 20b in a sec gen. Does it throw off the weight and balance in the front of the car? Hows it handle? Anything particular that I will need to upgrade or swap other than what I need for the engine swap? I would appreciate any help as long as its helpful, that means if all you have to say is "Search the Forums" than keep it to yourself. Thx

Search the forums. There is a seriously detailed 20B forum that covers all aspects of installing a 20B. The FAQ sticky at the top of that subforum will likely answer all your questions.

Is it expensive? Depends. Do you consider between $15,000 and $30,000 expensive?

The engine is heavier, so yes, it changes the weight balance of the car. Like V8 swaps, a few things can be moved around to restore this balance (ie. battery).

As far as what you need to upgrade to accomplish a 20B engine swap, the answer is "everything".

PS Thanks for not just saying to search the forums. You actually told me where to find it so I appreciate it.
