what year vigor are you talking about.
you will need to find 2 gen vigor. if it is 89 vigor it won't fit. plus i think USDM vigor is diff.
plus think 2.5L engine is alot bigger.

The 2nd gen vigot (The version only available in Japan) had a B20A.

The vigor that we have here (we only got 1 model) is in fact the 3rd gen vigor.

It hac a 5 cyl engine that's not too bad.

That engine requires the same modifications you would need to install a SR20DET

question, is the 3rd gen vigor, the USDM, engine swapable into an 86 Accord LXi? What modifications would need to go down? Oh yeah, what is a SR20DET? And would that swap into an 86? And whats the price tag on one of those engines?

if i'm not mistaken, the SR20DET is the engine from a nissan skyline, which just happens to be RWD or AWD

an sr20 is turbo already and yes they can support lots of boost if built up properly. u can get about 250hp i think with everything stock

and i dont think they ever came in ne US model car but i could b wrong

and the cars u listed are all FWD i believe..im just not sure bout the 200sx

the SR20 is not turbo'd

SR20De (2.0 non turbo)
SR20DE (2.0 non turbo, but faster than the above)
SR20DET (2.0 turbo)

The SR20DET is found in the late S13 and above Silvia, 200sx, Primera, Pulsar and Bluebird.

soo would the sr20det or any sr20 engine fit into any 3gee accord and if so just how much modification would be needed i know its alot but what exactley would need to be done

Well the SR20DE feels very similar in power and torque to the B20A. I've owned both a Nissan Primera with the SR20DE and 2 3G Honda Accords with B20A motors.

I got no idea how you'd go about fitting a SR20 motor though

The SR20 will bolt in the 3g accord if you do custom mounts

I wanna hear more about the vigopr mounting... not a damn nissan engine, no matter how good it is.

I was kidding all along :stick:

Every engine will bolt to your car if you do custom mounts.

The vigor engine would be a dumb swap
