b20 question

[NOAHS88accord]

can i just convert the fuel system and the wiring on my carbed accord and then do the b20 swap? or do i have to actually change my carbed a20 to efi and then take it right out when i put the b20 in? I should just be able to swap the fuel system and wiring and throttle cable from an lxi into my car right? I am confused when it comes to the b20 swap but i wanna do it cause my a20 is fucked up and i want the extra horsepower and torque plus the look

thanks in advance

why don't you just make it B20 carbed.
AerodeckUK had his B20 running with stock carb.
you can always change it to dual DCOE webers later.

[NOAHS88accord]

what would i have to do to do that?

[CARBurn]

keep your A20a manifold and use a weber 32/36 or 38/38 in place of the stock carb. The manifolds on the b20a and a20a can be interchanged.

[NOAHS88accord]

so carburn,

I would get a b20, use the a20 manifold, get the axles, mounts, and that is all i would need? nothing else? I appreciate the help man

[toastyghost]

b20a swap uses stock axles and mounts
which b20 are you talking about?

[CARBurn]

The main things you will need that I know of are:
intermediate axle (should come with it or take one from an 86-89 integra), tranny mount if it didn't come with one, distributor from an 86-89 integra, and your own a20a carb intake manifold.

If I left out anything, somebody please correct me.

so i dont need the b-series mounts from that placeracing site?

everything will bolt up perfectly?

i have an auto trans, do i need to convert to 5speed?

i have so many questions if anybody can help me i would greatly appreciate it, thanks

[Trowa]

no, u don't need the mounts from Place racing, but i think one of the tranny mounts doesn't fit perfectly, one of the more knowledgable members will have to confirm this one
and the tranny just depends wether u want auto or 5 spd, but either way u'd have to get one with the engine, the old one wont fit, as far as i know.
hope that helps
and hope i didn't say something stupid LOL

[NOAHS88accord]

can somebody help me find the motor and an auto tranny? if not i will convert to 5spd and use a manual trans please help me out here guys

[CARBurn]

Exactly, this motor and the JDM b18a bolt up directly, no Placeracing mounts are needed. The only thing you would need is the rear tranny mount but the motor should come with this if the motor came with a tranny.

I found a JDM b20a w/auto tranny here in Maryland.

[NOAHS88accord]

where on the net should i start looking for this engine and tranny? i would like to get one soon so i can start rebuilding it as a project.

[Trowa]

just search for JDM engine importers on the net and send emails to them asking wether they have the engine, i found a bunch like that.

go to the market place section. B20Aturbo i selling like 4 of them. 3 are called for as of yet but theres still one available. These are great engines as I am still dealing with him. I wuld recomend his over any others on the net
