I talk to the smog referee friday he said as long as it comes out of a honda accord Efi that it will be fine but you half to use all the smog that came on your motor with your accord .Then he told me if i had a problem with a shop when i go to smog it just go to them and thay will put a sticker saying it ok to have this motor. That why i got the motor.I did my home work :deal:

my book says the Bt has 110hp @5500rpm and the A20A3 120hp@5800rpm and the Bt 8.1compression and the A20A3 has 9.1 compression.With the compression lower and 3 rpm less that could be the 10hp Difference.

[bboipinoy112]

your droping a 86lxi motor into your 89lxi ?

[88accordhb]

my book says the Bt has 110hp @5500rpm and the A20A3 120hp@5800rpm and the Bt 8.1compression and the A20A3 has 9.1 compression.With the compression lower and 3 rpm less that could be the 10hp Difference.
86 lxi's = BT 110hp, 114tq
87 lxi's = A20A3 110hp, 114tq
88-89 lxi's = A20A3 122hp, 114tq.

if i'm not mistaken, sorry if i am.

[myaccord7]

free is nice

why does it matter what year the motor is for smog tests?

[blazin3gen]

because since our shit is so "computerized" they plug some plug into our ECU's that help determin our cars statistics or somethin ahhahaha meanin california has bs smog laws

actually no...for pre-obd cars there is no such thing as a plug for our cars. we just get the sniffer test and the dyno..but there is now a visual test too where they check for any modifications to anything. I assume if Tom just gets the engine block really dirty where the engine code stamp is, he should pass visual with no problems (minus all the mods)

For OBD-1 and OBD-2 they plug into the ECU.


California has a lot of laws involving modifications to cars. I hate it, and thats probably why if I do have parts on my car they are C.A.R.B. legal.



Good luck tom, I hope you have fun with it. Free is good nonetheless.
