Man, read again what you wrote there^^ we sure can tell you what you need to do this, but there was just been handfull of people who done it, and most of those done it by a professional shop.
If its your first swap then do something simpler first, try and take your A20a3 engine out and wash it, then assemble it and put it back in.. then you'll get an first idea of whats goes in for the swap and how everything works.
I'm not trying to burst your boble, but really.

No, no: Let the kid look around for a bit, then delete. I'm actually looking into doing a B20 (or other) swap over the next summer if I can afford to get a good engine by then.

Charlie Ive got a spare b20a in my garage. i was going to save it in case i ran into any problems like robs turbo biuld. im thinking if that happens itll go away anyways. When you get ready for the swap let me know. They arent cheap but its local

I'll go for that, Mike. I'll buy everything, obviously, but it'll have to be in the summer. I wouldn't mind a nice exhaust, too. Isn't the one on your hatch really from your coupe? Where did you get it?

here is an engine for you, direct swap and its rare JDM DOCH 16V engine.
http://www.3geez.com/forum/showthread.php?t=71679

if you really want to swap a H22, then you have to have welding skils, as you have to weld your own mounts, then have to figure out clutch, as our cars have Cable clutch, and H22 has hydraulic clutch. You need a converter, then gear linkages need to be redone, Then you have to redoo wiring, you have to marry H22 wiring with Accords plug's. Need to figure out Axles as well, as they are different both in length and joints. Lets see if I dont miss something. Ahh, and you have to know right angles of the engine mount it self or risk wearing your expensive custom axles. alignment is crucial here, then all piping for cooling.. the list goes on and on..

I gave you a taste of how complex that is for someone that just starting understand how the car works, Not that I'm understate you here. Start with simpler stuff, and hang around, watch and learn, there is tons and tons of info floating around here and different projects as well.

Since when was the B20A a direct swap?

mykwikcoupe
01-24-2010, 10:49 PM
since all you need is 2 wires, a rear mount and a day to swap the engines over. Short of rebiulding or modifying the a20a engines the b20a is by far the next easiest. Charlie if your looking for a swp Ill have another set of b series mounts from zacks hatch if 2ndgenguy doesnt buy it. It wont be a bolt in application as the trans mount neads welding to the bay. Its a possibility though.

if you wanna "get in the game" sell the accord and get a EF or EG civic. I tried to swap a 3gee and it was too damn much. Although that was before innovative started carrying the CA accord b series (integra b series) swap mounts. If you like the accord which i did try a b series swap. I have helped people do swaps but i just LS swapped my EF hatch by myself. Its easy and straight forward but you have to have a general knowledge of cars, and how they go together. I myself am good at taking something apart and putting it back together. i can tear something down let it sit for 3 months and still remember how it all goes back together.

But like you said if you wanna get in the game get a civic unless you have a knack for making custom parts. I myself would love to see a 3gee accord hatch, with a b18c, slammed on the ground with some crazy low offset and camber. I plan on findone one and doing just this when i get back from iraq.

this would be the only swap you could pull off

hmm h22 doesnt seem to be the best swap for right now the position im in. wat about the b20a. how much would one run for i found an h22 for 200 450 with head. is the b20a a good motor havent really read up on one. thanks you guise for all ur help, suggestions, and guidance i really appreciate all the help i can get.

stat1K
01-25-2010, 04:57 PM
sorry but an h22 for 450 is stolen or shit. you can buy b-series mounts for a b16/b18/b20 from integras and civics for 349.99 check that option out if your serious, but my advice is sell the car as this isn't one that is easy to modify. now if you want it to not run for a long time / you're a hondahead at 16 then go for it, but my guess is you're not.

resendez
01-25-2010, 05:02 PM
thats the thing im down i love my accord i fell in love the day i got it i dont want to sell it so your opinion on a b20a swap for an accord would be? (stat1k)

stat1K
01-25-2010, 05:22 PM
my opinion on the b20a is they are too hard to find and not really that much of an improvement over you a20 unless it's in bad shape.

if you do some searching on this site look for legend_master 's posts... he is one of the members who's done a real b-swap in his accord. do a lot of reading about the b-series, on here, on wikipedia, on honda-tech.com and so on, learn about the terminology, learn about the differences with everything, go practice soldering, learn how the cars wiring system works, understand that this isn't a weekend job unless you know what you're doing and have all the parts. (you'll never have all the parts because you're always missing something)

your first step shouldn't be to ask this question that's been asked a million fucking times. your first step should be what i posted above, get it done.

replace your clutch. standard maintenance on this car after 20 years of neglect is probably something you wanna do quick, i'm assuming it's 20 years of neglect because even if a car is old lady driven things like, bushings, ball joints, gaskets, hoses, belts, all that shit gets neglected. it may have had oil changes and greasings but probably not any major work like that, usually that's why people get rid of the cars, a mechanic tells them what they should do and they say woah fuck that i'll sell it for 600 and buy a different car to neglect.

might not be much of a gain but spark plugs wires clean the engine make sure to do oil change every 3 months or 3000 miles and mantain a clean engine and the rest man you will have to look up cause we can only help only if you need it just search it man like performance parts on the forum and you'll learn something and if you cant find it or figure it out ask the members for advice im sure they all had problems down the road and should be able to help you on that i only know fuel problems for now since i keep my car on check and on spoiled lol

ROFL..

No personally I'm glad people ask these questions, because it gives me a chance to learn something I wouldn't have asked about. *even though I did do a question similar to this one.* most of the time its cause people like him or myself don't know much about cars to begin with and don't know all the little details.

Like I knew I was going to have to put in a new tranny, but didn't know I would have to do axels, mounts, and a bunch of other things. :P

Alright let me brake it down for you..

You see, you want to have more power, ok so the swap isnt that easy just torbo it right? make it faster, sure, make it sound good, nice.. but then, do your chassis will take it? That much power have to go somewhere..
I say for every mood you make you need counter mood as well.
More power- need better brakes
Faster- needs better suspension

I say, play safe and dont kill your self, or all girls will miss a guy, we are already 8 guys to 10 girls so.. ;)

After fixing the car and getting her running right *even though it was lik 10-15 minutes*, >.> she felt so much faster then my 03 civic did, especially 0-30, so I actually don't think I'm quite ready for a turbo anyways.

trust me get your car running fine, and notice the power difference, then do some other work..the turbo is a bit much right off the bat.

>.< but boy can I taste it coming.

Tomisimo
01-26-2010, 09:07 PM
to get a proper powerband out of any engine is to use precession parts.. if you want ho have more than 250Hp to the wheels and up, 200Hp is easy with low pressure turbo @8/10psi any higher and you have to rebuild with forged pistons and rods.
Still if you want to turbo your car, you better of with a complete rebuild of your engine, new bearings, hone cylinder holes, new pistons and rings, all new seals, rather head port, as our heads do have small ports to begin with..
then brake the engine in, and after 5k mils you can turbo it. Run simple stand alone management or convert to OBD1 (On Board Diagnostics v.1) what we on A20a3 is OBD0, not tunable for the most part.

I try to keep it simple for you, there is more to it, but details will come eventually when you do your own reading.

Nopi.com look for a rebuild kit..

you really just suggested nopi? nopi sells cheap chinese crap.

if you want to rebuild your motor buy the honda parts.

1 061A1-PJ0-305 GASKET KIT A
2 061B1-PH2-010 GASKET KIT B
3 061C1-PC8-S00 GASKET KIT c


those three gasket kits will have most of the gaskets you need.

as for things like bearings it's not necessary to buy from honda but i would make sure it was a reputable brand, i've had good luck with a company called Rock products, they make bearings, pistons, etc... but something like ACL is good too.

In any case you want to follow all procedures on tear down and reassembly, that means torque sequences, clearance measurements, etc.

i wouldn't use aftermarket parts for anything but maybe the headgasket or power adding parts like a cam, cam gear, and so on. stuff like the water pump, oil pump, or timing belt should be honda, there is no reason to change as the parts are cheap and the quality is top notch, don't be fooled by autozone or checker on their prices, it's better to pay a little more for something that's not going to fail than pay less for something you'll have to replace.

as i said before do some searching, you can find some good write ups on doing these kinds of procedures, buy a shop manual all the info is there too, hell even look at other honda motors, d-series.org has some good stuff, sohchonda.com and onecamonly.com also do, the principals learned in those threads can be applied to any honda motor.

it's a lot of work but don't be like some of these yahoos and half ass shit, you'll not enjoy the results, and the rest of us won't either.

hondapartsnow.com has all the part numbers you need and they have the best prices, shipping kills so order all at once or not at all.

i never once mentioned an american product... but you realize your car was made right here in america right? ohio to be exact.

as for quality standards, china has no quality control, whatever comes out comes out, sometimes you get decent stuff sometimes you get shit that brakes in a day, with something that i'm trusting my life with, ie my car, i'm not going to skimp and buy something cheap because it's cheap, i'm going to pay money for quality parts. but then again, i'm not you wei...

ok first, i posted the part number he needs for the gaskets, for bearings you can just go to a shop and ask what they can get you, again acl and rock are good products, there's actually a few shops near you like my friends Built By Notorious down on 7th ave and washington i think? granted that's probably pretty south of where you are but they are good and know what they're doing and can get you the right parts. also there is tri-tech near sky harbor, they're at 44th st and something, go over to azht.net and sign up if you're not a member and look them up in the vendors section.

second, why would he check the offset on wheels made by honda? ... yeah that's what i thought.

i never once mentioned an american product... but you realize your car was made right here in america right? ohio to be exact.

as for quality standards, china has no quality control, whatever comes out comes out, sometimes you get decent stuff sometimes you get shit that brakes in a day, with something that i'm trusting my life with, ie my car, i'm not going to skimp and buy something cheap because it's cheap, i'm going to pay money for quality parts. but then again, i'm not you wei...

CAH, stop whoring threads.. :D

Dont forget, Honda engines are abit special when it comes to crank bearings, there is a number on crankshaft, that tells you main bearing Journal clearance, so thats the only thing you cant buy in advance, it have to be ordered after you have seen numbers, usually Honda auto parts site covers that aspect, you can choose right size for each and everyone of them.

haha.. you know cosworth takes a regular SIH engine and give it a 16V top, or Mercedes 2.3l SOCH, they gave it a 16V top, or better still, 2.5 diesel was converted to be a petrol and 16V engine..
Maybe is yes, anything possible if you have enough money.. but then again, like I said, the swap will be alot cheaper in the end..

stat1K
01-29-2010, 05:56 AM
yeah i knew what you meant but again if someone's asking about what motor can i put in my car you and i both know that won't happen.

how expensive is what resendez? a swap?

it depends on what you want to do...

basic LS or B20 swap:

b20b/b18b1/a1 - 300-800 local (especially for you)
mounts - 300-350
axles 50-350 (depends on whether you rebuild your own with the right parts or buy some made for the application)
shift linkage - 10-100 (same deal, no one makes one but you can find someone to do it for you, all you have to do is cut and weld, shift linkage at the junkyard on 27ave and buckeye costs 19.05 or 10 on half off days.)
wiring - this is the part that costs the most more than likely, if you are not comfortable get someone else to do it. it's really not a huge change but i would suggest getting the obd1 conversion harness from lx-incredible and a jumper harness that way the ls motor is plug and play as obd1. his prices vary and he would need exact measurements to sensors and such so this would be a final step. definitely for his work you're going to be paying over 300... but everything will look factory and will work, if it doesn't he'll fix it. good thing is he is in tucson so if he needed to come up and look he could, but he doesn't work for free.

hoses, coolant, oil, bolts, nuts, gaskets, washers, etc... factor in another 200.

high end of an ls/b20 swap would be at or around 2k, low end would be around 900 if you did everything your self including wiring, which i would do myself but i was taught to do things properly by lx-incredible, before him my wiring was HORRID, since i've done quite a few harnesses on my own and they still don't look as good as his.

as for any other swap just substitute the price of the motor to figure out the rest... b16 would add about 400 to the high end of the motor price if you bought locally, more if you buy from hmotorsonline.com, good thing about hmotors is they're in LA so if you really wanted a motor you could go get it in about a day. gas would be more than shipping probably if you took a truck, but we've fit motors in the accord trunk before.

Well there you have it rezendez.. there is not much to tell about this subject. I think that stat1K did a good jub making it clear for you..

My advice to you is, stop asking questions and do some work, read, research, learn from other threads.
And he is right, if you ask it will most likely not be done. its just how it is. After 4 years on this forum I've seen them all here, even been there my self but not that ambitious as you are.. but thats cool tho.

anyhow, keep us posted and updated on everything you do with your car..

does the a20a3 efi have fuel cutt off if it does how does it work does it completely shut ur car off or does it kick back in before it dies because i was trying to roast well i did but i roasted to 7g then it went down and i hit it again with out using clutch just gave it gas and it started burning again i was impressed by my car cuz all the bad rap on it. people always give me shit cuz its the most undesired honda out there thats y i want to make it a beast not just a swap i wanna do the hard stuff like custom the a20a3 and smash im so down for this

There you go, you have a Interest for it, make it happen :)

About the fuel cutoff, when lets say you drive downhill, you let your foot off the accelerator pedal, car stays in gear and just rolling down. at that point ECU shuts down fuel. Engine is running on inertia (its also referred to as Engine braking).

Yes the butter fly thing is true.... well atleast i know mine has it. You have your throttle body that has one big butterfly in it that your throttle cable hooks to. Your intake manifold is a two peice and rite where it splits there is a bout one inch thick plate between the two peices and the other set of butterflies are in there (theres 4 of them, one for each runner) and if you look on the drivers side of the intake you will see the vaccum diaphram hooked to it that operates it.

cause you get power at 5000 or 5500 prm its like a boost kinda and for 5th gear it dont matter unless you going like 110 mph and shift at 5000 rpm the more the butterfly opens more air and more gas making it get that boost but its a gas killer

If you took the upper plenum of the intake off an look at the lower you would see two sets of openings on each intake runner. One of them is a smaller opening and the other is the one with the butterfly in it. The purpose of the setup is to let you run off the smaller runners(to keep the little torque we do have up at lower rpms) for normal driving and when you get up in rpms the butterflys opens along with the smaller runners so the engine can breath to make the whole 120hp that we have!

ohemgee the VTEC conversation is complete fail...

The 88-89 accords had a dual stage intake manifold. Its not VTEC or anything of the sort. At a certain RPM the secondary butterflys in the intake manifold open up, providing more air to the engine.

VTEC, on the other hand, provides a different cam lobe, altering how and when the valves inside the motor open and close, providing more aggressive (read: more power) air flow in/out of the motor.

You really can't even compare the two. What stephen said is spot on.

Yeah, the rotation is different since the trans is mounted on the opposite side.

F20b is better than F22a yes.

F20b was an experimental engine for S2000, it was prototyped to see all cooling an oil journals was right.. this is why its stays upright, alltho its basically a destroked H22a, and was used only in Honda Torneo models.. its rated with 200Hp if manual and 190 if auto..
But its not easy find, you need to import the engine..

ShyBoyCA6
02-22-2010, 09:34 PM
yeah i posted a thread on that engine with all the specs and what not that engine has 197hp close to the h22 but the f20 has a blue top doch vetc so you can say they are like the same but different set up

I did some reading on this engine some time ago, and some people say that note it makes is so special, and muckh lighter rewing than H22. in some applications with right tune its sharper trotle response and feels quicker. I think it would have been nice swap, uniq and great power output as well.

No... a g would be taking 2 f20s, chopping off a cylinder from one and adding to the other, then mounting it longitudinal.

I'd be down to do that as well. Mounts would be the same as the H22. I'm not going to fuck around troubleshooting with a greasy 200k motor from the local pick and pull though.

16 and idiot are synonymous. Every 16yo thinks they're invincible, I know I did. After I got in my wreck, everything changed. I haven't driven nearly as recklessly (although I am working my way out of my third ticket). Be careful. Just because something bad didn't happen this time, doesn't mean it never will. You'll consider yourself a complete asstard the day you crash your car and hurt someone else. My best friend was in the car and I'll never forget how bad she was hurt...
