just as easy as puttin a b18a in there, as long as you use a cable tranny. Use a obd-0 b18a dizzy and injectors (or any other obd-0 b-series injectors) and a chipped obd-0 PR4 ecu.
Or you can convert to obd-1 but you'll need an obd-1 dizzy, ecu, and obd0-obd1 conversion harness. Having the ecu chipped and the o2 sensor heater disabled you won't have the wire up a 4 wire o2 sensor, not to mention a good idea, since there isn't really an obd-1 b20 program, you can get a basemap from someone elses b20 tune, but every engine is different, so a custom tune is always best.

well a 2L isn't going to be the greatest on fuel, hell any b-series swap isn't going to be so great on gas. This is mainly b/c your car will be faster, so driving it harder will be more fun, so you'll do it more often, thus wasting more gas. People don't do swaps to obtain good gas mileage.

my buddy now gets like a little over 500kms to a tank on his b20 EG hatch, but he's now using the LS tranny. He's running on your street tuned program (with a little more fuel around 2500-4000rpms and very light throttle, his car had a little hesitation and need more fuel) chris, and he still rips the crap out of it.
LS 5th ownz....i'm prolly gunna do one myself in my b16 tranny when doing the 1.85L bottom end.
