They wanted $250 to ship to my location. So tally that into the cost as well.

It has an EGR valve so I guess it's from an Accord.

sorry I feel stupid for asking.

is this a direct bolt in or would you need to replace a bunch of stuff?

yeah just need the rear mount that bolts to the gearbox / through the block. for some reason, i don't know why, but they always remove those when there really isn't any need to

as long as it has the manual half shaft thing and the rear bracket it will be mint

Yeah why the hell did they pull off that rear mount? It makes it much easier for shipping. Maybe they put them in really tiny containers or something.

^^if you look on that egay page they show you a pic of their containetrs stacked with motors haha

Useless USA engine importers lol how r u going to get that motor to run with the engine loom lopped off and no mounts

Engine importers always do this. They cut off looms instead of just unpluging them.

I was lucky to get the rear engine bracket with both of my b20as. One is from a lude tough :(

Carot, Goldtops dont have EGR.

Tomisimo

you can use A20a3 Wiring on that Goldtop, its completely the same. the B20a8 have few extra wires, but also the same, plugs are the same as well.

Hmm, I've been under the impression that prelude gold tops don't have EGR while the Accord ones do... Don't really know if it's true tho.

That's right. Accord Gold tops do Have EGR. The one on ebay does have an EGR valve.

I about bought the gold top but I didn't make as much money at my temp. Job as I thought I would so couldn't afford it :(

We're talking about JDM B20's here. The JDM 2g Prelude gold tops don't have EGR, while the 3g Accords do.

indeed, but i was referring to tomisimo's b20a not having one

carotman
01-28-2010, 06:42 PM
Tomissimo's B20A doesn't have an electronic advance distributor either.

I guess EGR wasn't required in some Euro countries.

Ah, well the B20A2 doesn't have emissions stuff. Mine does however (B20A8).
So yeah you're right, an EDM thing... Depends on the local emissions laws of the country at the time.

so pretty much the only thing you need is the back mount, tranny, and that's about it?

Tomisimo
01-29-2010, 06:00 PM
jupp. thats about it, even back mount can be used from A20a, just need few mods to it.. thats it

here is the question though.

Is it worth it.

Is it worth it for you for 25-35 more hp?

01-29-2010, 11:59 PM
that's entirely up to you whether it's worth it or not :)

I was just wondering.

Cause I was thinking of just doing turbo on this car. But I don't know yet.

I plan to replace alot of parts. *especially my stupid fuel system.*

but Just wondering.

which would be better for the price, getting the B20, or turbo on the A20?

:D I like to look at my options.
