Its kind of pricey but will it work?

in the description, it apparently is for the f22 engine. i believe someone used an h22 head on his b20a so it may be possible for this one to work as well. but almost assuredly you'll have to do a bit of redrilling for the holes.

no, it will not. ports will never match. if you are going to pay $600 for turbo manifold, you may as well ask a shop or someone on this board to build you one for cheaper or = price.

nope. it won't work.

The port sparing is really different on the A20A because of the single exhaust valve.

Adam used a H22 manifold on his b20a not a full head swap. I compared the H22 gasket and it was pretty close and with a little port work and re-drilling it will work for the b20a. The problem with the A20 is the odd port/flange setup so you wont find a manifold to fit it easily. Iv only seen one production cast manifold on a 2nd gen prelude but the company pulled out of the US and seems to only produce manifolds for new oem cars like mercedes.

I think it has to be a way to modify it or they won't have it listed for a 88 accord.

the spacing is REALLY different.

The never 16 valves engine have their ports like this X_X_X_X while the A20A is more like this X.X_X.X

Cylinder 1, 2 and 3,4 are close to each other while there is a good gan between cylinder 2 and 3.

You would need to cut the flange, bend the pipes and reweld a flange.

It's better to start from a scratch with an A20A and turbo flange.

even if it did fit... $600 is pricey

Yeah that sounds right. By looking at the picture they have with it it looks a lot longer in length than our headers.

The picture I see is clearly for a 6 cylinder engine, and the caption says that: Image may not be application specific Those guys don't appear to even know what they are stocking, or the application. You have to be real savy when hunting for parts for applications as old as our cars. But keep your eyes peeled you might see a rare treasure while hunting. :ugh:

Yep. Just throwing it out there to see if anyone can benefit from it.
