AccordB20A's 2.0Si F1 Edition Build

[AccordB20A]

got the diff in the mail today. the plan is to install it into one of my spare gearboxes and then chuck it in the car this weekend if all goes well lol

[MessyHonda]

now you have gripz

[2ndGenGuy]

Damn that is awesome! Should be so sweet!

[AccordB20A]

Got my spare B2K5 B20A gearbox apart today and started installing the Quaife ATB LSD.

For future reference the Browntop ZC, A20A and B20A gearboxes share the same diff as all open diff b series gearboxes (cable or hydro) Except B18C/R. The quaife LSD i have is for an EG6. Shares the same 10X130 ring gear bolt pattern as many other b series hondas.

Started off by undoing the bolts and the bung on the end and prying apart the circlip to get the top casing off.

Then after that i removed the two gear shafts keeping them together so i dont have to fuck around assembling 78345238945 gears/bearings again. Since im only swapping the diff.

thats all tonight. will reassemble tomorrow.

[Hazwan]

How do people manage to tear open a transmission without breaking anything lol they look so complicated.

[AccordB20A]

its easy. providing you dont pull all the gears off the shafts it all slides back together like so

New B2k5 with LSD. dirtyer than the old box

The old axles were a bit "Used" The boots were ripped and one outer had excessive play. So i put my spare axles in.

I must have done something right. The car drives flawlessly and when powering around a corner theres no more one wheel understeering action!

[Dr_Snooz]

Great work!

[AccordB20A]

Gave it a wash. the wheels look brand new underneath all that road grime! Took some pics so ill post em up.

[AccordB20A]

Hai chaps. Did some work on this today. My mate was ordering some bushes for various cars he has from the USA so i got in and told him to get me a shifter bushing kit, swaybar endlink kit and a "Strut rod" kit. All polyurethane bushes from energy suspension.

Pics:

Both Lower control arm inner bushes are completely fucked. Metal on metal spec with bugger all rubber left on them. Wish i looked under the car before i ordered the bushings.

[Oldblueaccord]

Got your moneys worth outta those bushing.

The strut rod bushing are a great great upgrade.

[Dr_Snooz]

I can't believe you still have the donut bushing on your CV axle.

[AccordB20A]

Haha. cant see a reason to remove them. The axles are stock 250,000kms items still from a parts car. The car feels better to drive with the bushigns but im sure the lower control arm ones will help too haha

[Hash_man_Se_i]

Looking real good! I'm jealous of your new dif. that would be an awesome mod to have,

[Dr_Snooz]

Haha. cant see a reason to remove them.

It's not that you choose to remove them. You simply choose not to spend a couple hours getting axle goop all over your shop just so you can swap them over to your new aftermarket axles that came without them. That's how mine disappeared anyway.

[AccordB20A]

fair enough with new axles i would do the same. not that ill ever need new axles

[Rendon LX-i]

those lower control bushings stock? I saw a bit red on the side.

[AccordB20A]

yeah stock 250,000km ones from my old accord. they are black. the red is rusty from the metal on metal action.

[AccordB20A]

got a parts car today. a 2.0Si exclusive model with the leather seats etc. Since the interior colour is the same as the f1 edition interior i can use bits off this to tidy up the missing and broken bits i have that annoy me daily.

Heres some pics of the car after the guy dropped off today. Pretty rough but good.

[AccordB20A]

[Civic Accord Honda]

y u gotta post pics of those bad bushings? now i need to go get under my car and make a bigger list

[2ndGenGuy]

How much for a B20A manual transmission then? :P

[AccordB20A]

500 plus shipping :P

[MessyHonda]

the poly bushings help alot. when i removed my cross member and took out the bushings they were still in really good shape and i changed them out around 30-40k miles ago. nice upgrade. looks like you are going to need new lower control arms with new bushings.

[AccordB20A]

yeah and while im at it im converting it back to power steering. the added caster i have makes it too hard to steer lol

[AccordB20A]

An update for the slow accord:

I'll be right over to take the lift.

[AccordB20A]

thats not my shed thats my friends workplace.

Installed the mugen shocks into the slow accord tonight and they are noticebly stiffer. not excessive its still comfortable as but feels much more stable through the corners. I reckon now all it needs is a larger rear swaybar and it will be PERFECT

[AccordB20A]

whats going on here:

[Calabek]

Nice job on the clean. How long did it take you to rip the seats and carpet out?

[AccordB20A]

took 2 hours. but i wasnt doing it all the time i was doing other work around the house also. its pretty easy

Nerxt step is swapping the dashboard with an unmolestered one and installing the exclusive door cards

[AccordB20A]

Instead of swapping the dash today i decided to quickly bang on the front lip. I took some pics and im not 100% happy. i think its sits too high. i need to substitute my spacers with something solid that doesnt compress when the bolts are tightened lol.

Anyways here we go.

And done. Notice iot sits up too high and theres no silver under the foglight... thats the bit that annoys me.

http://i687.photobucket.com/albums/vv240/accordb20a/Accord/P1020016_zpscfde7119.jpg

Ill gather up some better hardware and start again another day, But this is perfect for now.

[Calabek]

I think you're right about how it coves the silver on the bottom of the bumper, why not use thick steel washers and just pack a few of them in there?
That way you could get a more precise fit. I'm sure you could buy them from any hardware store relatively cheaply, too~! :)

[Dr_Snooz]

Who's your co-pilot?

[AccordB20A]

her names hayley. she likes my accord better than her mums one (Y)



Its that time again. the dreaded WOF check. So i gave it a wash and a clean out and took it to the testing station. And much to my amazement:

http://i687.photobucket.com/albums/vv240/accordb20a/Accord/wofwin_zpsbaf7287f.jpg


Cant say thats ever happened before

[Dr_Snooz]

:thumbup:

[Gemini2003]

Gotta like a clean checkup :-)

[AccordB20A]

The gfs accord ran out of rego so it was parked on the lawn for 2 weeks. up to then it was running fine. didnt use a drop of oil or water always ran PERFECT. Then she put rego on it and went to use it again but straight away it had a missfire. ran like ass and used all the coolant in the radiator. pushed it all out the overflow. and put the rest into the oil. FOR NO REASON

Well there is a reason actually. When i bought the car it had been sitting for a couple of years with rusty water in the radiator. it had obviously corroded away at the head gasket and fucked it over time. and when it sat for 2 weeks it gave up for good. even tho i had flushed the cooling system 500 times after i bought it to get rid of the rust from it.

So now im doing a head gasket on the ol girl. I thought while im at it ill change all of the other bits as well so i have ordered as cambelt, tensioner, water pump. complete head set so ill change all the sea;s etc. i got a new fuel filter and O2 sensor for it also.

pics part one. removing the head and inspecting the problem:

[Hazwan]

What a familiar sight. Rusty coolant ftl

[AccordB20A]

when will people get it thru their thick skulls that if you top up your coolant you put coolant in it not water!

[Hauntd ca3]

coolant costs money , people are to tight to spend a few bucks for a liter of anti freeze to keep in the boot
you know that

[AccordB20A]

lol its 16 bucks for 4.5L at the warehouse


Anyways the cars all back together now and running good again. pics later. i havent done the cambelt and water pump and shit yet as it has not arrived.

http://i687.photobucket.com/albums/vv240/accordb20a/Millys%20Accord/P1010016_zps458abbba.jpg

Did another cooling system flush and added some new coolant. Car should be good to go for many years now!

Wait, you had to send away to America to get parts for your JDM engine? LOL. What a world.

[AccordB20A]

haha cheaper! and it worked. Peugeot cambelt, b20a3 sohc water pump and tensioner and a20a3 o2 sensor and fuel filter (Y)

[Tdurr]

Crazy how its cheaper to get parts from here. Glad ur still getting work done tho!

[Kiwi303]

Yep, Honda Nelson wanted $57 for a rubber front brake hose, A set of 4 stainless braided hoses is $43 US on Ebay with free 48 states shipping.

Ship everything to a mate in FL, send him cash for a USPS flat rate International box and it's cheaper to get a whole boxload of $5 and $10 parts than cost $20 and $35 here.

shit your keen to use a peugeot cam belt!
it'll prob work for 6 months then decide its to much work and fail.

[Hazwan]

This is exactly why I refuse to go with that B20A (N)

[MessyHonda]

I would take a new cam belt over using a used one.

[AccordB20A]

Haven't been keeping very up to date with this lately. But today i installed my new lower control arms that i fitted new bushes into. Heres sum pix:

While i was there i also installed some old school bendix metal brake pads in the front and lubricated the caliper slides. Big improvement. The pads i took out were branded silverline and were absolute SHIT! They have been in there like 80,000kms and still looked like new when removed.

[Dr_Snooz]

You got some good filings out of it though LOL. What did you have to drill out?

I have to get some harder pads on my car. I have so much trouble with cementite.

Neat work :) the belt may be got at Ford/Motorcraft too( cloned nissan minivans) which is good oem, nissan too 3.3L I believe is the same belt. Fits a Lotus too, not sure which motor /year model but that came up cross referencing number using tbe actual dimensions.

[Hauntd ca3]

those silverline pads are shitter than shit.
suitable for use as sinkers only

[AccordB20A]

Yeah.

[AccordB20A]

Couple of small updates. Swapped the swaybar on the silver accord with a CE5 16mm bar. the CB5 bar that came off went on the gfs grey car.

Its been a long time since i have updated this thread, The gfs grey car has yet another engine swap. im trying to make it good on fuel but this 9km / liter shit is pissing me off. Ive decided its time to do an OBD1 swap i think.....

[AccordB20A]

And so it starts, The OBD1 swap. My mate had a honda domani with a B18B in his yard which has all the parts i need. The B18B dizzy indirectly fits the B20A and since the wiring in the accord is fail, im gunna use the body loom from the domani to make a stand alone loom to run the EFI on its B20A Im gunna merge the B20A and B18B engine looms also.

I stripped the whole domani pretty much to grab the bits i needed. The ECU is even factory chipped so i can socket it and use that to run the B20. heres a few pics
