wassup u all...I'm the new owner of a 88 lxi coupe...seen here:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2430537486&category=6783&rd=1

errr...some bastard got it to $500....it was at $230 before he racked it all the way to $500...aw wells...$500 is still worth it...I haven't gotten it yet...gonna go pick it up in MN this week...i'm in central WI...

my plans are, if the motor doesn't work, then definitely the B20A is going in there...if it does work, then a small turbo or something...

a few questions...where can i get the B20A, I tried looking at a few places and only found one place...www.flashoptions.com dont even know if this is the right B20A...they only got it for $500 and $300 to shipp it...

even if this is not the right B20A, how much power does the wrong B20A have? 135? 140? this motor at FLASHOPTIONS is JDM so i hope it is the right one...

how much power does a stock a20a have anyways? 125? 130?

any ideas on where to get a motor?

Sweet find, I am still looking for an organ donor FI.

Check out venus-auto.com, jdmpower.net/home.html
jaydm.com/index.htm
and hondaswap.com/index.php for more info.

Flashoptions is very slow. I purchased a redtop sr20det from them a while back, and it ended taking them quite some time before the container came in. They originally told me it would take 3 weeks when it ended taking 6 weeks, 2 days, and 11 hours from the time he (Vic) stated. He did end up giving me the clip parts like steering wheel, mats, big brake kit and so on as a consolation. The price was good though and I ended making a ton of cash from that transaction by selling the car.

i don't think it is right engine. it doesn't look like it has the rear top engine mount.

You should try and get that SE-i that they have up there I think its at the same place as the one you bought

yeah but the se-i is an auto...and i think it was a 4 door too...this baby is a coupe 5 speed :D

anyways...so our motor stock is like 120hp then right? does anyone else have any idea of where to get the correct b20a?
