fuel pump conversions

[Tim Yoak]

Ok everyone is talking about the b series swaps, but what about the fuel pumps to support the engine? I have a dx but It has the in tank pump so the lxi pump should just bolt in. Some of the lxis had a pump that mounted under the car, but some had the in tank pump. I know the stock lxi pump can't handle 160 horsepower, but what about an upgrade for a first generation integra? I know they were very simalar in many ways . The pump part itself can be removed from the holder that fits in the tank and changed over. the only other conversion thats needed is to flare the ends of the hard lines and convert them to pressure fittings. I think if I got the fuel filter assembly from the lxi I could mount it under the hood. The electrical connector should just plug into the pump. Also what about drive shafts? Can I use stock driveshafts? I have enough trouble finding good ones of those.

Sean mentioned awhile ago at a mopar pump will fit right in to the accord holder (I forget which one). It just pops right in where you're old pump was using the stock (LX-i) fuel lines. It should be able to support up to 300hp if I remember right.

If you're talking about b16 swap axles then you're talking custom. Place racing makes them. Its in with the bseries faq.

andy Ok, thank you, The only thing that worries me about a jdm swap is parts. I drive this car from moultrie to atlanta on a regular basis 300 miles plus so if something screws up I need to go to a parts store and be able to buy the parts to fix it. I have enough trouble finding stock parts that are correct. Has anyone on here done the big webber conversion,?, does this require a different pump? I don't care about idle quality, Most performance cars have a lopy idle anyway. Most of the time this car is being driven at between 2000 and 4500 rpm.:confused:

I drove mine with the 40 dcoe carbs and a stock prelude pump (can only be done to a gen2) from philly to, albany ny, portland me, hagarstown md, richmond va, and all over pa with them. Don't expect excelent gas milage with them though. I'd get just a little bit over 20mpg. I didn't have to touch my fuel system untill I went to the 45 dcoe carbs.

I'm talking about power here. When I was younger I saw one of these that had a jackson racing supercharger on it, he had said the intake from a jdm b series would fit on the car thats how he did it. he had dynoed the car at like 250 horsepower, a lot of work but worth it when you can dust mustangs with it. he wrecked the car later though(sob)

That was supposed to be a quote by the way, the system is acting screwy. Oh, where did you get the carb? is it available from webber as a kit or just seperatly? they have one as a kit, I wonder if i started with a stock replacment kit if I could rejet it later for more power. I was planing on building a cold air intake for it.

The gen2 accord and dual carb prelude share the same style of fuel pump. I think the gen3 carbs pump out flows either of these pumps though. The manifold is a full custom job. Its not that complicated and any machind shop shoudl be able to do it.

Search this site for "DCOE manifold" and you should turn up plenty more info. I know none of the pics in my old post will work but they can all be found at http://phy.37industries.com:3000/accordpics/dcoe_manifold/

What about the b20a3 prelude engine? it was 88-89 prelude and 90 prelude si, it was a 2 liter 12 valve like the third gen accord. not the 1.8 liter cvcc engine. will this manifold fit? I could probable get a dual carb set for a prelude from webber. I just like dual carbs thats all. my engine is the 86 bs. I am going to look for that engine number again. I still don't know why that number is different from the a engines. Well everyone says it's an a series, bbut the block is stamped bs. thats what is supposed to be in it.

I've heard they are top quality, but no one ever talks about ignitions.
