b18a engine in a dx accord HB

[87accordHB]

:burn: Ok...I found a b18a engine forsale for near 150 bucks. Runs, comes with tranny, and all wires and components. Just need tools to put in. My question is..Can it be done, how hard,how long would it take, and last but not least, What performance upgrade will i gain from my stock 2.0 to a b18a. Your gonna have to tell me what cars the engines come from because when i see b18c, or h22, ect. ect. I dont know what the hell it means :) If anyone has a chart with the names and makes of the engine and whatnot. send it my way please. Thx again.

B18A comes from a gen2 teg. In stock form I think its comperable to a stock LX-i motor (bit more hp a bit less torque). If my memory serves me right I believe there was a carb set up availble on this motor (not sure if it ever came to this country or if it even existed for that matter). That would save the trouble of converting to efi. If you want to shell out another $1000 or so you can get a dcoe conversion kit for it, again avoiding an efi conversion. Otherwise you'll have to do an efi swap and it will be just like any other b-series swap needing the place racing parts etc. Its not a vtec, making it friendly to carbs but lacking the high rpm power.

sounds like alot of time involved which i dont have :) Thx andy, so what do you think my best bet would be to go with for my 87 accord. I was wanting fuel injected only because i thought i could get my intake that way because from a carb, the breather doesnt hit up to any kind of intake. Thx for the help however bro

Umm, an EFI swap just to have an intake? Did I hear you right? Seems like an awful lot of work just for that.

:wtf: I was chkin out the threads and found the custom job for the intake to the carb. That looks tight! so im gonna look into that and see what i can do about mine. AND IM PROUD TO ANNOUCE ill be purchasing my second 87 accord HB. cept this is an LXI, 5sp, pw windows and locks, the works. cant wait..only paying 600 bucks. mint condition. gonna try to work the price down. I chked it out and it even has those JDM smoke colored side lenses!!!!! I can just taste the possibilitys for this ride! Ill let yall know what goes as far as the engine. Im still lookin for a fast, powerful easy swapable engine to fit it. Has anyone had any luck on that chart thing for me with the engines and the names so i can know what the hell im talking about or reading about when i say a name of an engine? lol Thx
