[russiankid]

Damn your rear wheel is totally...not straight. Anyways, looking good, both the car and the model:D.

[ghettogeddy]

foot off the paint lol


anyways looking good did you get a new camera the pics look 10x better then the last ones

[84Accord]

looks really good! great work!

and i like the hood prop on pic 5 haha

[EX-ileAccord]

Looks good man.

[Pico]

Sweet.
You got her done :rockon:

[A18A]

looks awesome :D and yeah wheel alignment very ftw unless you can easily afford new tyres lol. do the lights ever go down? i noticed in every pic ive seen of that car since you painted it, the lights where always up

[cubert]

not my particular style in cars....but i give you 100% props on your car...it looks outstanding...as does the model :thumbup:

[bullard123]

Yeah I bought it about a year ago. Its a Canon Eos Rebel. Yep keep the foot off of the paint:)

[bullard123]

Nope the lights don't go down. They could but I would have to cut into the bodykit and I didn't want to do that:lol: I actually took the motors out of my headlights when I first got it done because I was so use to using them lol

[bullard123]

Damn your rear wheel is totally...not straight. Anyways, looking good, both the car and the model:D.

Yeah freaking tow truck drivers:burn: I gotta get a new rear upper control arm and another alignment. I just realized this happened or I would have made the tow company pay for it

[import racer]

looking good man,i always liked the hatchbacks.i had an 87 about 7 years ago but needed too much work.

[2oodoor]

congrats! it is coming right along
got a hotty all over it already too...good man !
It must the the angle of the picture, but the motor looks like it is low on the drivers' side. More engine compt pics?

[labeledsk8r]

looks really nice man, congrats on getting the b20 in and running, i bet it feels good to have it driveable again

[chowder]

im gonna get my B20a swap someday hah i think ill have to get all my body worl custom to reduce weight (i.e. custom kit). + carb to efi swap, but i gotta keep the phoenix red paint in the spirit of the rare trim of the 88 dx

[AccordB20A]

must be a CA5 thing. mind you my car used to have a carbed a18 engine in it. but its a CA1 not CA5. Must be a USDM factory thing

[Civic Accord Honda]

pure sex mayne

[MessyHonda]

looks good.....yeah get that rear fixed.

[knarg]

yeah the engine tilted over like that does look odd... hmm

is it really that noticeable in person?

hatch is looking good by the way. i envy your b20a

[bullard123]

Thanks for the comments. I think it might be the bent control arm that is making it not sit even. Its not noticable at all in person. That is getting fixed today so I'll take some pics then. My ecu is on the way from Wohdog as well. Can't wait o see how it runs without the check engine light on

[2oodoor]

That is a good preview of things to come, looks just like mine except mine will have a howling weber on it owwwwwww

I dont know about yours, but maybe bullard is using 86-87 front engine mount bracket and 88-89 front mount (or the other way around)?

[86ccord]

looks good bro!

[AccordB20A]

on mine i am using two rear mounts. did away with that gay round one at the front cause i wanted something that was easy to fill with urethane

dont the 88-89 front mounts have longer bolts to fit thru the thicker cast iron mount bracket on the block

it actually allmost looks like its the dog bone holding it up lol

[Cheeseburger]

looks good bullard, i wouldn't drive the car with the rear tire like that lol.

[bullard123]

looks good bullard, i wouldn't drive the car with the rear tire like that lol.

Its actually not too bad,Its gonna be parked over the weekend though cause I gotta get a alignment Monday. Im staying away from tow trucks for a while though lol. ;)

[carotman]

Mine used to sit that way too. Ever since I replaced the front mount with a custom one it's fixed now.

It could be related to the timing belt side mount tough.

[Toneloc5145]

The car looks great Bullard. Good job getting the B20 rollin. Def get that wheel fixed, might cause a disaster. It almost makes it look like it has 4ws.

[TheAsianInside]

How Charles...The Hatch is looking great...I'm trying to sell mine now because I'm getting a 240sx...We'll have to take our cars to the track someday and see how they run...Where did you do the engine swap at? I'm not too sure if you knew but I did a swap in my Sentra...I put in a NEO VVL which is Nissan's version of VTEC...Anyways if you know anyone who might be interested in my 3G please let me know...I'm trying to get around 2300 for it...Anyways nice job again on the 3G...Later...Justin

The timing belt mount is the same as the U.S. one right?

What up Justin. I gotta see your Nissan, it sounds pretty dope. You can put your accord on ebay. Im sure it will sell. I got the engine from Wohdog here on 3geez. It took me almost a year to get all of the parts for it

[bullard123]

Well I was right. It was a bent lower control arm. I had the tow company come out and verify the damage and filed a claim. Here is a pic of the control arm

Damn thats bent!!!!!!!!! I thought it would have had more toe on the wheel than that with that large bend lol

[knarg]

wow, that is a serious bend!

[guaynabo89]

Looks good man.

I havent kept up with your engine thread but glad to see after all those issues you had that the b20 is finally in and runnig.

[bullard123]

Thanks. Yeah Im glad its finally up and running. I still have to get the check engine light taken care of but other than that she runns good!

[A18A]

congrats on winning aom, that was a really close one haha

[MessyHonda]

nice man

[AccordB20A]

engine runs mint now? doesnt missfire or anything any vids of it boomin on full throttle yet

[bullard123]

engine runs mint now? doesnt missfire or anything any vids of it boomin on full throttle yet

It runs good but I think it lacks power because of the O2 sensor. I can't wait to see how it runs with the check engine light off. When I give it full throttle it almost dies....The new ecu should fix that though

[bullard123]

nice man Messy where have you been? Haven't seen you on lately

[A18A]

cool and get vids when it's running mint :) :) :)

[TWOLOUDNPROUD]

SWEET:thumbup:

[AccordB20A]

the gold top ecu will make redundant any EGR, IACV and some other sensor. Have you got an O2 sensor?

when u has the ecu i would love to see a dyno result to see how close to a goldtop you can get a blacktop just by using goldtop parts

[bullard123]

Yes I have the one O2 sensor. Im getting the check engine light because the Pk2 Ecu requires 2 02 sensors. The only thing I have to figure out is will I have to change the crank sensor/tdc and igniter wires that I ran to make the Pk2 ecu work. I know Carotman said that the ecu's were very similar. And yes I can't wait to get it dynoed to see what kind of numbers she puts down mostly stock:). I heard the altitude here in Colorado kills horsepower also so I'll keep that in mind also when it gets dynoed

[A18A]

i would think they are the same. you should try adding that missing diode in your pk2 and see if that would stop the 2nd O2 sensor error code :o

[chino4u]

:crying:nice...man i miss my hatch...

[AccordB20A]

Your Gold Top Ecu is sent airmail. arent you lucky. should be there in 4-10 days
i can help hook it up if you have any problems.

[bullard123]

Cool :rockon: . I'll let you know if I have any problems

[AccordB20A]

i didnt know u needed a water pump. should have told me before i shipped the ecu as i have a near new one thats done like 20,000kms on my old motor running coolant all its life

[bullard123]

i didnt know u needed a water pump. should have told me before i shipped the ecu as i have a near new one thats done like 20,000kms on my old motor running coolant all its life
I sold a spare one that I had to Roodoo after he checked his B20A . I replaced the one on the B20A you sent me before I dropped it in. Can't wait to get it dynoed when the ecu gets here to solve this Goldtop/Blacktop mystery :)

[AccordB20A]

indeed i musked that up hahA

[TWOLOUDNPROUD]

The penout is not the same as the PK2 so don't just plug it in talk to carotman on the wiring.

[AccordB20A]

yes i have advised him that it wont plug right in. removing pin B15 and 17 and putting them into A8

[bullard123]

yes i have advised him that it wont plug right in. removing pin B15 and 17 and putting them into A8

Ok cool. I was wondering how it went. Is there a diagraham for the Ph3 Ecu on here?

[AccordB20A]

http://www.3geez.com/forum/showthread.php?t=185

[AccordB20A]

since the search doesnt work

[bullard123]

Thanks for locating that. I was looking for it for about a hour lol. So Im taking the wires from B15 and B17 and splicing them into the A8 igniter wire?

[AccordB20A]

if you follow the wires b15 and b17 back in the loom you will see they will both join back into one wire. dont ask me why the ecu needs the same wire to enter twice but yeah. any one of the two will work i belive

[TWOLOUDNPROUD]

If it the 88-89 PH3 ecu you can plug it in the wiring harness i made you for the PK2 Ecu and it wil work.

[AccordB20A]

its an 85 b20a goldtop ecu without EGR IACV and other crap

[bullard123]

If it the 88-89 PH3 ecu you can plug it in the wiring harness i made you for the PK2 Ecu and it wil work.
yeah its from a 85-87 goldtop


its an 85 b20a goldtop ecu without EGR IACV and other crap

Ok so that shouldn't affect anything on my blacktop when its hooked up right? I didn't get around to doing it today but I'll definately start on it next week

[AccordB20A]

i cant remember what intake manifold you are runninbg

[Tomisimo]

Do you have picks of your exhaust lineup? how you direct tubes?

thanks.

[bullard123]

i cant remember what intake manifold you are runninbg

Im using the stock A20A3 intake manifold

[A18A]

a 88-89 at that, same as the black top one. i dont think the engine will be too happy at high rpms without the dual runners working (using a gold top ecu), unless you just put the vacuum line coming off that straight into the manifold so they're always open. you can also get rid of the egr now too :)

[bullard123]

Do you have picks of your exhaust lineup? how you direct tubes?

thanks.

Yes this is the only one I could find. The dual exhaust is from the cat back

http://img241.imageshack.us/img241/8593/img0146pw4.jpg

[Tomisimo]

okei..

Because I wont to do the same on my 3gee, I was wondering how you directed tubes there.. well I'll figure that out..

thx

[bullard123]

Good valid points:)

[EX-ileAccord]

so you just leave pin 15 and 17 blank, and run them at a8? but now by running the gold top ecu with the a20 intake manifold, Its not going to work properly at high rpms. So really theres no point in running the ph3, because its not going to work right. :banghead:

I thought the A20 and B20 intake manifold's were the same?

[TWOLOUDNPROUD]

bullard123 have you put the PH3 ecu in yet? If you haven't put it in yet i have a idea that will save you from rewiring your ecu again. I can pull the fuel and timing map's off the PH3 and burn to a new chip to use in the PK2.That up to you if you want to do that. Let me know also i have a extra PK2 ecu i can chip for you. All i would for you i the PH3 Ecu for i can get the maps off of it.

[A18A]

they are, most gold top engines dont have egr thingies though, but other than that, they're the same (from my knowledge).

[TWOLOUDNPROUD]

I thought the A20 and B20 intake manifold's were the same?

The PH3 ecu you got is set up for the older intake like the 86-87 FI you have the 88-89 FI intake on your b20a

[AccordB20A]

USE A B16A INTAKE MANIFOLD

and all your problems will be solved bullard. My car actually goes very well. Remove the IACV bullshit valve off the back of it as the gold top ecu doesnt support it and your sweet. it has a fast idle valve under the TB you hook the water lines to for the cold start idle up. theres no EGR, no intake runner length changing butterflys and its clean, and theres LOTS of space behind the engine. i can reach all the lower intake bolts and oil filter and alternator and PCV so easily. you can fit your head down there lol

Nope I haven't put it in yet. Will this solve the O2 sensor issue by taking parts off the Ph3 ecu and putting them on the Pk2? If so I'll just send it to you

Im going to look into this as well. Are you using a oem B16A intake manifold or a aftermarket one?

[AccordB20A]

OEM one from a b16a2. have ta do some cutting and chopping. but they look way better than the ugly b20a 88-89 one

[HondaSi88]

I respect the work you put in!.....engine,paint,rims but the body kit isn't working for me...

[EX-ileAccord]

I should have my b16 intake mani installed by the weekend bullard. I'll let you know how it turns out, hopefully better then the ecu.

[bullard123]

Cool! Yes let me know. I'm planning on getting one too as we speak. Maybe you can do a how-to while you are at it?

[bullard123]

Got my Ph3 Ecu back from Twoloudnproud today. Thanks Tommy for redoing the fuel and timing maps!

[AccordB20A]

lets hope it doesnt give you error codes.

what did he do to it exactly?

[bullard123]

lets hope it doesnt give you error codes.

what did he do to it exactly?

He pulled the fuel and timing map's off the PH3 and burned them to a new chip to use in the PK2

[bullard123]

Here is a quick vid after I installed the goldtop ecu
http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&VideoID=43778304

[AccordB20A]

hows she run any better?

[bullard123]

hows she run any better?

Yes it runs better but the check engine light is still on. I gotta figure out something with that O2 sensor so I can get this thing dynoed

[EX-ileAccord]

Are you running an egr tube?

[AccordB20A]

Should have just used the whole ph3 ecu and changed the ignitor wire like isaid. would have fixed the pgmfi light right away.

[bullard123]

Are you running an egr tube?
Nope, Just the egr valve. I was thinking about replacing that as well but I read somewhere that it could be taken off and cleaned

[bullard123]

Should have just used the whole ph3 ecu and changed the ignitor wire like isaid. would have fixed the pgmfi light right away.

Yes I still have that in mind also. Tommy sent me the maps from the Ph3 also so I can just switch them back into the goldtop ecu if I wanted to

[AccordB20A]

yeah, it still sounds like your engine bogs down really hard out when u give it throttle, mine doesnt sound like that it spools faster aswell. If you ever have any spare cash to upgrade to the b16a2 manifold its well worth it, no crap like egr on that one lol, i did away with the iacv since i was running the gold top ecu and for the fast idle i just used the fast idle valve under the TB, works like a charm, starts 1st crank every morning and doesnt miss a beat. even tho the motor is rooted and smokes like a whore

[bullard123]

Yes Im planning on geting that one. I ve heard smoe good things about it. Exile Accord is going to send me his after he installls his aftermarket one. And yes the engine still boggs down. I can't wait to get it running like you had it in that vid you posted

[AccordB20A]

Same will be good to see it having all its horsepowers back

[TheAsianInside]

What's goin' on Charles? Sounds like the 3G is coming along nicely. We still need to go to the dyno when you get your car done. I've been tweeking my Nissan and it seems to get better gas mileage but the power seems to stay the same. I bought a Nissan NX2000 for my new project. Let me know when you get your car done...Talk to you later

Yeah man I never knew your Nissan was that fast lol You need to get some vids of that thing up asap. So you bought a new one? I'll have to come up there and check it out:)

[evil88accordLX]

have you considered tapping a second o2 sensor behind the cat to make the ecu happy? my friend had to do that on his AE86 corolla after installing a 20 valve blacktop for the same reason. cel went off afterwards.

and yes, the air in Denver is thinner due to altitude, so you will get screwed out of some power.

No I never thought of that. Thats a great idea. Yeah the altitude here sucks..I can't wait to see what numbers she puts up on the dyno though. Do you stay in Denver?

[rfiks]

Good Job

[evil88accordLX]

No I never thought of that. Thats a great idea. Yeah the altitude here sucks..I can't wait to see what numbers she puts up on the dyno though. Do you stay in Denver?

no, i live in Arkansas. would like to go to Denver to go skiing sometime though.

[bullard123]

no, i live in Arkansas. would like to go to Denver to go skiing sometime though.

Yeah we get a lot of tourists here for the ski season and mountain climbing. The slopes will probably open before this month is over

[TheAsianInside]

I'd love to post some vids, but I have no camera yet...But I still need to get the thing dyno'd asap...Did you ever find out how much the dyno is up in Denver?

[bullard123]

I'd love to post some vids, but I have no camera yet...But I still need to get the thing dyno'd asap...Did you ever find out how much the dyno is up in Denver?

It's here in the springs. Its $80 for a base run. Hit me up whenever you are ready to go by there. I'll bring my camera to take some vids

[2oodoor]

I remember a while back someone was having this issue with a civic, and it was the Intake Air Temp sensor making the 02 code go off.

[TheAsianInside]

$80 a run is a great deal...What's the place called? I might want to go this upcoming thursday...

[bullard123]

$80 a run is a great deal...What's the place called? I might want to go this upcoming thursday...

Its called Revoluitions Performance. Its located off of Wasatch and Vermijo. Let me know what time you are going if you go Thursday

[MessyHonda]

i cant wait to see the dyno numbers....but do your secondaries open? since you are running a 86-87 style computer

[bullard123]

Well finally got some good news. Me and an anonymous member of this site managed to get rid of all of the check engine codes from the ecu last night.
Here are the codes that we pulled

Code 8 - TDC SENSOR
Code 5- Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP)
and on my way home lol
Code 12- EGR (probably because im using the goldtop ecu)

I finally got to open it up on the way home. She accelerates very nicely!

Dyno and vids will be coming as soon as I get some other issues worked out

gold top ecu i send you has no error code for EGR at all so its not that. did you fix the map sensor issue and the TDC sensor? I would like to see vids

Yes its fixed. It ran nicely for the brief time the check engine light was out. Don't know what caused the egr code though. I'll check it out this weekend along with get the timing adjusted right and some more spark plugs

i don't think it is the ecu, there are some wiring issues between the accord cabin harness and the prelude engine harness.
the car was throwing a code 4 initially and after some tracing and rewiring that issue was taken care of.

once we fixed that it threw a map code. that turned out to be a loose connection.

as for the egr i am guessing it will be a wiring issue as well. i may have to re-pin the prelude harness or hunt down a connection problem.

any one know the correct timming for the b20a? 15 deg +/-2

also is there anything special i need to do to set it? unplug green/white wire between engine/cabin harness.

We finally got the B20A running right. Holy smokes! It has some real nice power. I'll get vids posted asap. Thanks again 89 turbo'ed!

:thumbup:
we soldiered a few more connections and set the timing and she smoothed out abit more, but it still didn't seem right.

she sounded like a toned down scoobaru which led me to believe there was a cylinder misfire or a faulty injector.

we commenced to pull injector plugs to test the injectors and when we got to injector #2 the wires pulled right out of the plug.wtf....

the injectors tested at 2.8-2.7-2.8-2.8(ohms)

we repaired the plug hooked everything back up and fired her up...

the idle was smooth as silk!

we still need to do some research on the egr.

bullard did you get any codes on the way home?

[bullard123]

Yep. Kept getting the check engine light for the egr. It was going on and off.

looking good!!
I posted up a schematic for that circuit on another thread last week. It shows the signal for the egr sensor going thru the coolant temp (ecu) sensor. So my question is, these ecu are pre obd, and use single wire O2 so how can it tell which one is at fault, AND it looks like the coolant sensor could be a type of diode or has a checked current flow and could be hooked up backwards? also note the intake air temp sensor in regards to the signal circuit EDIT, Thermistor may be what the ECT is , so it could possibly be polarity sensitive or damaged it if was crossed.
