A18A1 Block and Intake and Carb ID

[parkersnine]

When I go buy parts I have to explain that this 1.8 is in a 1988 Accord. Can anyone tell from this number on the block any information . Was it originally in a Prelude or a leftover? The ID is as follows: 1083313.
The intake reads PH1HF-88525TS.
The carb reads 2KT204-2
Can the carb and intake interchange from a 1.8 to a 2.0?

yes

The carbs and intakes do not interchange between the A18 and A20. However the cylinder heads do. If you have an Accord cylinder head, it will be a dead giveaway, because you will have a single, downdraft carb or Fuel Injection. The A18 has dual sidedraft carbs. And the air cleaner says like CV Dual Carb on it or something like that. The Accord's intake ports are oval and evenly spaced, while the A18 has round intake ports and the center ones are squished next to eachother like ---> O OO O

If you've got the Accord cylinder head, then it's pretty much not going to matter when you go into the parts store. The only difference between the A18 and A20 bottom end is the cylinder bore. So unless you're buying bottom end engine parts, don't confuse them by telling them it's a 1.8. It's hard enough getting the right parts for these cars! ;)

This is all assuming you're in the US and not Canada or any other country.

I feel your pain. My 83 Toyota 4x4 has an 82 "pre-July" 22R Celica block with the dual row timing chain, a '79 non power steering 20R cylinder head (with a custom created power steering setup created by me), an '80 Canadian 4x4 emissions group carb and intake, and a 2wd cast iron 4 speed modified with a 4x4 tailshaft and housing. Also, all the interior and electrical harness is from an '80, with exception to the headlights/turn signals.

I find it easiest at the parts store to simply pretend I own the vehicle the part is for. I went in once and asked for a header gasket for a Toy 22R. When the idiot asked what vehicle it was in, I replied "stationary hydraulic power unit" and watched him panic.:madflip:

Were the intake meets the head the openings are oval and evenly spaced. I guess that means since I have a single carb instead of sidedraft that most likely its an Accord Intake and carb. Just removed carb from intake and cleaning up the intake before installed back on block.

sounds like you have an A18 out of a JDM 3g ^

[2ndGenGuy]

No, he has an A18 block with an A20 head.

[JohnBoy]

so could you take the a18 head and put it on the a20 and raise the c/r like on the b or h on f series

[2ndGenGuy]

You could... but then you'd have to run dual carbs.
