wow that thing is complete. if it had a % speed transmission it would be one of the best one located so far. Hope somebody grabs it but it doesnt say where the seller is located? nice find

i think its just the engine not the trans because he is selling the whole gold top with a 5 speed for 1099

the jdm b20a around 140 or 160hp i think but i think 160hp

I e-mailed him. Transmission is not included, and is in fact already sold!! I wonder to whom it went.

So the b20 does not have that oil seperater on the back like the a20 is that right.

mykwikcoupe

01-25-2010, 05:53 PM

yes it still has the black box on the back. The power from the b20a is dependant on the yr of manufacture. the gold tops are older and 160hp. the black tops are newer and 140.

carotman

01-25-2010, 06:03 PM

I have both a blacktop and goldtop here.

They have the same internals.

I really doubt the Goldtop really makes 160 hp.

2ndGenGuy

01-25-2010, 09:13 PM

^^^ A guy on PreludePower just dyno'd his GoldTop B20A. Bone stock, 160,000km. Even stock air cleaner, exhaust, everything. 133whp. And that's running 11.5:1 AFR up in the top end. Which is pretty rich. Considering a conservative 15% drivetrain loss, that's ~157bhp. If he could get it to breathe a bit better in the top end, I bet it would make another 2-3hp.

ive noticed with all the motors swaps ive done the blacktops are slower than the gold tops but they are better on fuel. also ive noticed blacktops dont take the raping the gold tops do something has to be different. haha but thats from my experience with motors that are 200,000kms and older

try dyno a b20a with no alt, ps and AC belts hooked up to the pulley and run it on 98 (ish) octane fuel which is what they are supposed to run on in japan

i have a bellhousing that you can buy off me and use your a20 gear set to work on a b20a if you have a spare 400us lying around

I bought the transmision. An F2K5. Came with starter flywheel axles and halfshaft. Paid out the nose for it too. 249.00 including shiping.

I will be buying it at the end of the month,plans where to go LS/vtec but since somebody decided to rip people off I don't think I will be going that route-my A20 needs rings anyways

hammer3rd

02-07-2010, 09:32 AM

That is cheap considering how rare they are so count yourself as being lucky. I have had some pretty high offers over the years to buy my spare tranny but i never sold it. It seems the past few years were stagnant as far as B20A's coming into the country but this place seems to be one of the few that are importing them these days.

Yeah I do. I thought it was a real good buy. Could have bought the whole motor and all for 750.00 shiped. But being out of work the money just doesnt go thet far. If I were still working I would but both of them but oh well. I dont know what shape the trans is in but it is were anyway. One step closer to my swap.

Too bad I can't get a B18A tranny for that price.

Ichiban

02-08-2010, 06:08 PM

I'm trying to drum up some more JDM stuff for y'all (well, me, especially..)

I just sent those guys a message:

"I am looking for a rare/obscure JDM transmission from a 3rd gen Honda Accord. The engine this tranny came with is the B18A, model years 1985 to 1989, I believe. The special feature of this transmission is the bellhousing, which allows those of us in the US and Canada to run the JDM B20A engine with the commonly available american A20 transmission. I am also on a car forum, and there is enough interest in this transmission that if you can provide them for a fair price, you will probably be able to sell several there.

Also of interest are the B20A engines and transmissions. I've seen a couple come across your website lately, and would like to know if you plan on importing any more? When money allows, I'm certainly interested in buying another.

Thanks,

-Mike"

According to Honda Japan's open terrace site 160PS. So pretty much.

That would be sweet if they import some B18A transmissions as it would open up many doors for us.

2ndGenGuy

02-08-2010, 07:28 PM

And 4 of us would buy them. And then they'd never import any again... but can't hurt to get one batch in anyways! :D

bullard123

02-09-2010, 05:41 AM

Yeah somebody better get up on that. That price was a steal for that tranny and the fact that he sold it seperately as well. I still haven't got my blacktop (w/goldtop cams) dynoed yet. I think this will answer a lot of questions as well. I know one thing for sure its fells like its pushing over 140hp

Does the B18A have electric shift solenoids or is it all mechanical like the A20A?

mykwikcoupe

02-11-2010, 04:56 PM

I think we should employ the finish driving regulations. Id like that alot. Teach all these yankers how to drive in the rain. I ride my motorcycle back and forth 100 miles a day rain, shine or storm and these idiots cant figure out how to drive fast and control the cars when its wet. Damn californians!!!

over here all blacktop motors (and later (some 1987) gold tops) have transmission ecus including b18a

So in addition to the svelte sounding moniker PGM-FI, we also have, what, PGM-TRAN? Sounds almost as bad as PGM-IG. Bet it's more futile than PGM-CARB....

Could you imagine all those warning lights at once?

If carotman doesnt need the high pressure hose fitting let me know Id love to have one that actually stays away from the exhaust manifold. The entire hose would be great but im sure they are routed differently as well. Nice snag Jean and great buy guy

Ichiban

03-08-2010, 05:26 PM

Got the engine today! Looks damn clean, but the oil cap is bashed off and the power steering pulley is bent to shit. The distributor and cam position sensor behemoth look untouched, and there's literally no oxidation on the aluminum parts.

Haven't had a chance to take off the shrink wrap, I hope the dipstick tube is in good shape. The one on Aarons engine is buggered around completely and is gonna drive me nuts.

So yeah, PM me with offers for accessory drive shit that I'm not gonna use. Hell, the thing even came with an alternator.

Can't wait to rock the PGM-IG:redx:

I am running mine just fine without one, just have to be aware to lock up tc at cruise speed and to unlock it when coasting or approaching a stop. Don't use it at all around town.

that motor sounds like the one I got, very clean and pristene in and out other than rust settled in thermostate and waterpump housing area.

The paint flakes off of aluminum very easily anyway.... I like the way it looks at first but they look ten times worse when they flake.

Looks good though!
