So I originally, I had my 91 white wagon. Traded it for my 95 explorer swapped in a rebuilt d15b2 into it and got coilovers put on it, stereo, header etc. Anyway, my gf wanted one really bad so we started looking.
We found this one on craigslist. Id seen it a few months prior for $3k. But now it was $1500? So I called and talked to the guy. He told me hed ran it with no oil and it started knocking (it had an ls on it at this time). So we settled on $1100 and we brought it home
so we now had an already b swapped wagovan with tons of extras included. Needless to say I was stoked..
Now the white wagon is an automatic. So I basically just traded straight across to my gf. She bought this one for me and I gave her my white one.
I found a b20b with a fully built brian crower head and used the built ls tranny that came with the car. took me and my 3 friends about 10 hours to pull and swap it. It had minor hiccups but once it was running it ran DAMN good!
Ive had the car for roughly 2 months now. It sat for one of them while I gathered funds for the b20b swap. Its been running for about 3-4 weeks now with no issues at all.
This thing is torquey and has plenty of power up top as well. I am REALLY happy with ot thus far.
This is only the beginning.

Also, lol @ Kermit that's awesome
89mm stroke + VTEC head + tons of boost = WIN
Especially since your gonna build the block anyway! You got the best b series block in the wagon already lol. no point buying one that isnt as good.
The next day with some light
the original Ls that came with it.
arent we cute
washing this thing was a chore. the car had been sitting since novemer of 2013 under a tree. a little elbow grease and shes as good as new!
Once we I got the b20 we immediately started tearing into the motor.
annnnnnd its in.
and Im happy
Put the hood bra from the white one on mine.
Picked up some prelude fogs and jdm ef sidemarkers too! still need to install them
Random @ work pic.
ebay came through for me again. got my strut and tie bars, traction bar and rear camber kit
removed rear spacers and installed caber kit, and lowered the rear more.
and then cleaned the engine bay real good
ebay is good.
By accident.
(keyless entry malfunction lol)
theres still alot to be done.
I need to install the fogs and sidemarkers, traction bar and rear cargo cover, I wanna find a roof rack, probably a subaru one. I dont feel like paying 300 bucks for a yakima.
I still need a street tune done on my ecu also.
tint and a sub are in my near future as well.
I keep hearing that its the way it suppose to be and that only one year of the wagovan had the reclining bench? and thoughts??
The EF cruise is this weekend! i hope to see you PNW guys there!!
need to get my hands on a damn dremel and drill.. so i can get these fogs and markers on..
as well as my traction bar.
cant wait to get paid so I can affors to get supplies for my wires tuck and to repaint my trim as well.
and it also my exhaust is ONE piece... header back. it was quite the feat getting the motor swapped in when ya cant remove the exhaust... but we did it! lol
so i now have to take it to my buddy and have him chop it up so I can put my dc header on it.
the B20B is running like a champ too by the way
When I went to see it, it took everything I had not to laugh hysterically. Lol.
It was already b swapped, had great suspension and wheels and exhaust and was super clean inside and out. (Minus the driver seat. Its thrashed)
For $1100 I couldnt let it go.
i want to keep it as oem as i can, but still give it a custom twist. I feel like im on the right path. So much more to come.
