Nothing drops right in except the JDM Accord B20A (which is one of three different B20s Honda made, so careful what you look for), but other B- and H-series have been done before. Best bang for your buck (aside from boosting the A20A3) would be a B20A.

Dude, it's time to SEARCH. There's 3.2 billion threads here on B20 swaps and you'll need to read all of them to do it right.

Yea..If you cant even get an idea on what motor to go with on your own, you probably shouldnt be doing the swap.



Its like coming on here and asking us to decide what your favorite color should be.

:madflip: the only reason i asked is cause someone told me i got to be careful which one i put in there. If it doesn't matter then i can choose

no it matters the only one that fits is the b20a from a jdm 3geez

you can buy mounts now for any b series
but you need the wire upgrades and a motor prooly just as expensive as sourcing a b20a
