[cubert]

[MrBen]

I moved this to technical now that April fools is over :D

[BlueBead]

A20A1 is the carbed version of the stock 3G engine
A20A3 is the FI version

[Bigg_Nate2008]

what is the best motor yall would recomend for 1986 hoonda Accord. I mean one that will fit though.

[BlueBead]

well, the B series are the best for aftermarket support.
B20s are hard to get ahold of b/c you need to get the JDM versions (prelude B20 don't fit) but if you can get the JDM B20 its a direct bolt in.
Pretty much everything else is gonna take some Fab. work, but you aren't looking to turbo lilhonda17 had good success with a b16. He's got a thread on it, so go ahead and explore with the search button.
heres a couple of links:

I was wanting to put a turbo or nitros on it later. Would that be ok

[shepherd79]

dude, turbo and Nitro will be OK.
there are a lot of info on this site about turbo setups. Use SEARCH function.

[Bigg_Nate2008]

i was lookin and ppl were talkin bout a regular tranny would not fit the B20 engine. IF that so what tranny will fit it?

Aight...Im now statin to read this, cause I wanna do tha same, Engine swap. I liked tha h22, so how much work and how much would it cost to put that in...? :stupid:

[DeViOuS]

Ok damn nevermind, Ive been readin these threads and it looks like tha h22 is a myth in a 3 geE...:( Sux... So what motor would you folkz recomend besides a JDM b20..? If I could have it my way I would put a 429 CJ in it:-D But thats impossible....or is it:-P :stupid:

[Bigg_Nate2008]

Would 1990 to 1993 taillights fit a 1986 honda accord with out any modifications.

You have to understand, just reading your posts in this thread alone has continuously tested my patience. If this was any other forum, God only knows what kinda language i would have used. But ill be nice and teach you noob a valuable lesson.

1. Use your common sense and read other people's response. When Alex said use the search , he meant FUCKING use it.

2. Use the SEARCH function.

3. Consider yourself lucky this time and next time try to not make yourself look like an ass and a typical noob.

To answer your question.

No the 4g tails wont fit without modification. evem th 1g legent tails are 2inches wider and even they wont fit without modification.

Only Stock A20 and JDM B20A motors drop into the car and with these guys blowing their b20as and buying them left and right, they are pretty scarse now anyway.

Look in the performance section on how to turbo your car or PM Caleb about how to add nitrous to your car.

Enjoy your stay here and hope to see you be a lil more un-noob soon.

DEVIOUS:: same applies to you too. hit the search guys. it aint that fucking hard. :uh:

*claps for smufguy*

[Elijah]

LOL Smuf they are just trying to learn. Wait I was getting hot reading the posts but then read yours and wasnt hot no more lol. Anyway guys do some research. The best option in my opionon is to go FI and then Turbo. Just remember you gotta pay to play. And there is no such thing as a cheap turbo setup.

FI fuel injection just in case

If you have the money nothing is impossible... as for the H22 being a myth... there are a few people with that motor... but don't expect to have a cheap swap unless you do the work yourself.

[smufguy]

they'll learn when someone breathes down their neck alright.

and regarding the H22 swap. We have so far 3 or 4 and none of those guys post here. One is rather new that adam found (never gave us full detail after tha) and couple were old old. One in progress (im sure it will be given up) and the other one was just halted.
When it comes to H22 swaps, people just dream out loud.

[Forgar_88]

I have been wanting to do a B20A USD swap so what did you say about not being able to do that swap? What the difference between the JDM and the USDM?

its the exact same difference between you being a typical stupid noob and being a smart noob. Hit the search man. Dont start asking the same old stuff over again. they are 85% totally different motor. WHen u hit the search, u will find a lot of interchangeable parts also.

[Forgar_88]

Hey smutman, just because I dont have 6000 plus posts doesnt mean I am a noob. I have been around here for quite a while, so insert your foot into your mouth dude.

calling me names in the pretext to degrade me is not gonna work. it does not matter how much post i have under my name or how long you have been here. When u start to act like a noob, you will be told so. If not by me, by someone else. So please keep the name calling to your 4th grade literacy, review the member conduct rules and please please please learn to search.

Since you have taken no time to read or try to see what the differences are, lemme tell you one thing. Check the following Threads to see what the differences bwt a JDM B20 is and the USDM never had a B20A, but its weird version of a B20A5 found in the 3rd gen prelude Si.

info the JDM B20A itself >> http://www.3geez.com/showthread.php?t=5907

i did see you here (http://www.3geez.com/showthread.php?t=42956 ) where u asked the same question, and yet forgot to search, but asked the question here likewise.

well the reason behind the B20A and the B20A5 is not very different in appearance and the bore and stroke, as a matter of fact, the bore X stroke is the same. Their mounting points are different because the cars that they came in, where different. If the B20A5 came in the 2nd gen lude (which had the A20 motor) then obviously the B20A5 block could be swapped in our cars with no problem, but being a shitty motor it is and a nasty stroke of 95mm, its not worth doing anything to it.

I would have said that the A20A1 would be a great high performance upgrade for a DX or LX Accord. Minimal cutting and welding, and the stock axles will fit right in.
