[charliekuney]

[engine a20a4]

a20a3

[Dat88Monstar]

no its a4 because a3 is the prelude motor according to wikipedia



The A20A3 and A20A4 were the fuel injected versions of the A20A engines. They were run by Honda's PGM-FI system on a partial OBD-0 computer. The A20A4 gives a slightly higher power output because of not having emissions components. The A20A3 was offered in the 1984-1987 Honda Prelude 2.0Si, the 1989 Honda Accord SE-i, and the 1986-1989 Honda Accord LX-i.

[Dat88Monstar]

Okie dokie charlie....

[charliekuney]

The A20A2 and A20A4 were not available in the United States because they did not have emissions components. The DX and LX models had the A20A1 carb'd version, the '86-7 LXi had the A20A3 and the '88-9 LX-i (and '89 SE-i) had the A20A3 revised version. Did you understand what you read? :D

[Dat88Monstar]

i guess not :/

[charliekuney]

Don't worry, I had to do so much research to figure that all out. Just be glad I'm not giving you crap for this (http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii308/chainceston/SANY0225.jpg). :) You bought the car like that, right? Right...?

[Dat88Monstar]

yeh that was wen i got it and was scraping off the shoe polish...and starting on the bumper

[charliekuney]

I'm speaking of the "JDM" Honda badge, the can, "BCE Designs", shocker sticker, and the supper vtakks holes.

[Dat88Monstar]

ohhh lol yeh it came that way ive removed the bce i am going to take off the honda jdm badge i like the shaved look better and the muffler isnt that loud its pretty quiet untill that vtekk kicks in Lmfao

[charliekuney]

Shaved for the win!

I would like to see a sic turbo build, if you do it keep us updated.

[Rendon LX-i]

boosting in fun but if your willing to spend the CASH MONEY i would do it.

BUT if you dont have anything i would just start gathering parts for your boost build

First thing is first if your motor is not healthy your not boosting plane and simple. your blow in the first couple of WOT pulls. SO best thing to do is do a comp test. See if everything is on TOP shape. Then you can proceed to getting a manifold made or buy one from a member hURR. then you need to get some sort of managment fuel pump/injectors/fpr/Tunning of so sort Apex safc/btm/ then you need to get your charge pipes made/ interfooler. LOL. and the a turbo that best suits you. A T3 would suit a A20 nice. IM fully spooled at 4.500rpm.


SO i think in my opinion is your better to stay n/a since you seem to have a decent setup. I would pull your motor out and build it if you want to boost.

[Dat88Monstar]

Edit that post, and take the .th out of every URL (don't take both periods out, just the ones before the th's).

[Rendon LX-i]

That build you got is good for 15psi max. or even that BUT it well be a good and solid and well hold it. JUST dont over boost.

[Dat88Monstar]

yeh i kno..i am stuck here guys which rocker arms do i order from rockauto i have a 1988 honda accord lxi ive called the tech team there and they have no answer

[Dat88Monstar]

:bowrofl:WELL its back together

http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii308/chainceston/030510003528.jpg

now im just waiting on my buddy with the engine jack so i can drop it back in

[charliekuney]

....does it run? :D

[Dat88Monstar]

i just finshed it i should have it back in with in a few days

[jasonrebellion]

are the holes in the rear bumper for speed?

[dacantu]

^^ theyre for less drag. its more aerodynamic that way... it makes sense its just not pretty

[Rendon LX-i]

Lol no I did that but I had to just cut it out. Looked stupid what it does is reduced draft meaning what ever air gets trapped in that area is basicly let out .

[charliekuney]

Alright, I learned aerodynamics in science and this is what you guys need to know: Air does get "trapped" in front of the rear bumper, but it doesn't hold the car back. It creates a sort of box that lets air slide below it, creating the least resistance (think of a truck with no canopy driving with its tailgate up). These holes now make the trapped air flow, and it tries to flow through several small holes causing more drag than the first place. When you run with a cardboard box with one small hole in it (let's say pop can sized), what happens? All of the air that was originally sliding to the sides of the box is now trying to "fight" to get into the hole (ha). See what I mean?

[Dat88Monstar]

okay guys wheels what should i do? i was thinking fat fives or dr20s i have some 17s but i want something light

[charliekuney]

Fat fives are old.

[Civic Accord Honda]

fat fives are hot but if u want something light dont go with them!

[Dat88Monstar]

Fat fives are old.

our car is old :kekeke:

[Dat88Monstar]

what about some rotas?

[charliekuney]

Rotas are nice, if they're real (or is Rota the off-brand?).

[dacantu]

Rotas are nice, if they're real (or is Rota the off-brand?).

lmao rotas are knock offs!

but to dat88monstar Rotas are nicer quality knock offs than Drags. Dont spend the extra money on "Real" wheels unless you plan on a Epic build. Otherwise it really isnt worth it. Even now I regret spending $860 on some rota's.

[Civic Accord Honda]

wheels are wheels lol why would someone spend like $1500 on spoon wheels when they can get rotas for $500, just so long as they look nice and are round who cares what brand they are lol

[charliekuney]

Get some Fit Sport wheels and let me steal them from you!

I didnt see any difference in power gains at all.
If you do this, make sure to get a pressure gauge also
