ALL MOTOR A20.

I chose N/A, as I am building to that route. I'm realistic in my power numbers I will get from it. Minus NOS, I'm looking at 150-160hp as the top number. I plan on throwing a small shot of NOS on for the kicks and giggles, plus the big bottle looks good in the trunk :D.

As soon as i find a good B20 out of a 3rd Gen I will be getting it.
If one doesnt turn up I will modify the A20 that is in.

I'd go with a B20A from a 98 CR-V with a b16 head. Gotta love the good ol' franks hehe.

just replaced my old motor with a newer, higher compression A20A1.. next up is the H22A hopefully by end of summer.... also, if anybody remembers the guy who had it done, i need to ask him a few questions

mine is just a daily driver-but i found another accord for 150 with a bad motor/wiring(motor caught on fire) so i am thinking 2.3t conversion i think esslinger has a conversion kit from to mate a accord 5 speed to a 2.3.if i do this i will be shooting for 11's with full interior and a 75 shot off the line-I will keep everyone posted :)

JDM B20a, if i could ever come accross the money to drop one in. Maybe one day try to turbo a B20a. The thing is that the B16 has soo much aftermarket crap its hard not to choose it. But im more for torque, and a B16 wont cut it.....

To the person who said "other": What engine?

I chose turbo A20. I don't see why everone doesn't want FI on their A20. Once my CRX is finished, I'm gonna build the cheapest turbo setup possible for my 3g just to show that it can be done. And to the guy that wanted a B20A block out of a CRV, they have B20B's and B20Z's but not B20A's.

Why did you put "other" when there's a separate one for forced induction A20?

07-15-2002, 10:37 AM
I am going to have to go with b16a, mostly for the aftermarket support (like turbo kits) sorry I am easy to please. I have a question though, I was told it costs more to wire the engine than install it, if you go to a garage and have it done. is this true?

I want an H22A but I doubt it'll happen unless i find some mechanic who owes me a favor.

I'm going for the JDM B18C and possibly throwing a turbo on. Alot of people here in my city have civics with LS/VTEC swaps.

i voted forced induction a20 but i should have voted b16 because of aftermarket support.. think about it... just about every import performance company makes stuff for it.. :)

Forced induction modified A20A1. Yep, carbed. I think there's a few of us on the board racing to see who will be the first to do a boost setup on the carbed A20. Be sweet to eventually have a handful of us on the board with experience doing this.

<Waits Patiently To Gain The Money For His F20B SiR-T JDM Motor> HeHe, I'll be doing a F20B engine swap here in the next 4-6 Months in my new 89 Accord. Talk about a Project, Lets all pray PRi. comes through for me. Thats why I put 'OTHER'

Wow looks like the H22 has the most votes for now :)

Oh, and the LS motor is a B18 engine (B18B1)

H22 is what everyone dreams of but b16 is what everyone really wants cuz it can easily become a reality for no more then $3500

H22 is what everyone dreams of but b16 is what everyone really wants cuz it can easily become a reality for no more then $3500

And the b20a can be had for alot less then $3500.

I'd like a all motor b20a that can get me into the 14's. Thats it.

lol, everyone says H22a is impossible but everyone's says they're gonna get one, including me! But I think B16a is just dumb you should at least go for a B20a because there's no replacement for displacement! :D

I wouldnt say the b16 is dumb, its just another way to go. There is difinet potential in it with the huge aftermarket support.

If u look around you can find an H22 for 2300 or less!! Such a great engine so cheap! :stick:

If I can find a B18C for cheap I will drop one in, but I'm not going to pay $5,000 for a newer B18C and tranny. My Dad is going to spend around $6,000 to build an engine for his 67 Camero SS RS, and with around 400hp stock it is worth it plus he will probably have it up to around 600hp easily. I will only spend that much money on my 3g if that was for everthing, parts, engine+ tranny, and installation for a B18C.

i think for forced induction you guys should seriously rethink the a20, itll probably be better for such an app, it has a closed deck block, cast iron block too, engine cores are way cheaper than b16, you dont have to pay for an engine swap (bookoo bux right there) and you dont have to worry about prepping that b16 block. Block prep for b16 forced induction includes resleeving the block, new pistons, block guard etc, the a20 needs just pistons and maybe rods. Even if you did pistons and rods for the a20 youd be looking at probably half the cost of building up the b16 and then you add in swap cost (more than the car is worth)

Justin86
04-03-2003, 10:54 AM
Even if you have an A20 all built up, a relatively stock B18C bored out to a 2.0L will produce similar power and then you can still add stuff to the B18C while the A20 has pretty much reached its max.

Justin86
04-03-2003, 11:20 AM
It all depends on you goals. Ig you just want a good and fast car stick with the A20 put on a turbo and NOS and be running around 300hp. If you are ok with that then do it, but with me I always need to go faster and have more power. I would be ok with 300hp, but then I would want 400 hp 500hp untill my engine is about ready to blow. I don't really need that extra power but I still crave that feeling of being shoved back into your seat when I accelerate and to be able to brag that I have more hp and I'm faster then you.

I voted b20 but i don't know why..I really like the lude's motors. Especially the b21a1. way cool! If I were doing the swap myself I would swap in an h22 but b20 is cheaper. just go to the boneyard and find a lude.

I think they mean the B20a JDM Accord engine, not the lude engine! I saw B16 or B18 .......

who ever said b20a out of the crv...the b20a is out of the 88-91 preludes...but it's still a good motor, since it is a bseries motor, the head can be swapped with a b16, b18, or b20 vtec head, to get the best of both worlds, plus its torquey as hell. not to mention it drops directly into the 3gen accord so the swap is a lot cheaper and easier than trying the get civic or integra motors into the car...i still am shooting for the b16a though, if i ever get enough cash to go through with it

The B20a he is reffering too is the JDM B20 out of the JDM 3rd Gen Accord.. Not the prelude engine.. as for the Cr/vtec, yes it drops in.. The only problem is the wiring..

Justin86
04-15-2003, 08:25 PM
Ig if the B20a in not the prelude engine then what is? Also is it possible to put on a VTEC head on the B20. If it is possible I would make it a lot better then the B16 and close to the B18 but cheaper.

Yes I know he is talking about the JDM accord, but I was wondering about the prelude engine and a VTEC head if it is possible. That was all.

Justin86

If you are happy with around 300hp then stick with are A20, but if you are a power freak like me. B18+TURBO.
