Don't waste your time. By the time you spend the money to get that in, you could have a B-series with is more dependable than GM and faster.

[Cyric_accord]

Well, I hate to say this but first off, Saturn never built the SC2 model in 92, first year was 1993. and second off, the 1.9L in those cars produce a whole whopping 4 more horsepower than an 3geez LXi. You're probably better off just converting your LX to EFI and using a motor that doesn't need a lot of custom work to fit in.

Just to use that saturn engine, yould have to atleast convert the accord to EFI, more than likely make custom engine mounts and see if it will fit properly, customize the accord to fit the SC2 transmission and drive axles, Change out the ECU and Wiring harness.... Lot's gonna cost major $$, and unless you're willing to dish it out, just stick to a honda engine

if it help's also my lx beat a saturn sl2 yep the twin cam engine.

Same here.


ITs not worth the time, effort, money or headaches for that engine. Just tune your carb correctly, or get a Weber carb. Then do a few of the basic bolt ons and you will have more power than that Saturn motor guarenteed.

why the HELL would you even consider putting a saturn motor in a honda for anyway? That sacrelige(sp)!! Thats like the guy who put a civic front end on his NEON. http://www.geocities.com/n20_racing/smilies/no.txt

[Rendon LX-i]

those cars aint nothing. smoked one already.

[PortugalFocus]

correct Cyric Accord, there was no SC2 until 93.... there was the SL2 in 91-92.... I am the parts guy at Saturn of Reading.

[Morpheus]

a beat is poor word choice
try "how about making my car into a money pit with no benefit from the end product?"

Saturn sux ... engines weak as hell

I second that...

[my86dx4dr]

thatd be one hell of a hybrid! i see why you thought of it though, since the motor would be free why not try it,
your looking at spending more money on putting it in then prolly what you paid for the car,
very interesting idea though! :D

[babyblue89]

sorry about that it is a 93 i only thought of the idea becuase i could have gotten the motor for dirt cheap and its a stronger motor than my car is now... ive raced this car it was in... and it beat me... but if its just about the same as the lxi motor then it would be a waste of time.. didnt hurt to ask though...

Saturn sux ... engines weak as hell

Saturn engines do not suck..... and they aare not weak as hell. I see them come in on a daily basis with +200k and they run very strong. An 04 Saturn Ion does hold the FWD Land Speed record and Lisa Kubo that drove a 95 Honda Civic HB powered by a H22 (one of the fastest FWD Drag cars in the world) did switch over to a Saturn Ion. So I guess they must be doing something right eh?

Saturns are quality cars. Only because GM doesnt have full control of them.....yet.

sorry i say WEAK, if a 98hp engine canm beat a 124hp engine, something's wrong there.
i've driven a saturn before even wanted one at the time til mom's slapped me crazy and said what the hell was i thinkin'
they are reliable though.

Good to know you rmom still smacks you around and you take her advice on cars.
Make sure you know what kinda Saturn you were racing.... they did make a SOHC model from 91-02.... in a 4dr and a coupe. sohc 1.9 = 100hp. the DOHC was rated at 130ish so dont be impressed you car ran over a car that had TBI......

[accordlxi2.0]

uhhh no it was a 93-95 sl2 twin cam port fuel injection.
i know my gm's too homey.
in fact i used to love GM's still do but i love the honda even more.

[babyblue89]

yeah its a 93 sc2 two door its a strong motor... but if its not gonna b worth the swap then i will just go with the b20... but thanx for all the advice..

[zero.counter]

Forget the saturn swap...what kind of power and what is the limitiation to your funds?

:rolleyes: :jaw: i dunno what to say im sickend by this

[babyblue89]

the idea was i can get the car for about 200 bucks and i just was thinking about the possibilities of doin the swap.. for one its got more than what i have now.. and two it would be cheap as hell to do it...

[my86dx4dr]

i think you should try it, that will be one weird hybrid,

i mean i have thought about buying a c32 block and parking my car and spending a few months putting it in,
that would be just a tad bit over done though

[DonniBrasco]

Wus Crakkin my honda lovers!
Where in the hell can I find custom tails for my flakin' fireball? (87'accord)

If you really want to use the motor, build a cart and slap the motor in the back. :D
