I inherited a 1986 lx 4dr accord a while ago..

engine is out of my swapped 97 dc2:

97 JDM ITR motor w/5spd lsd trans.

left over parts from the rwd project will be going into this car..

EFI fuel tank
Full SE-i diskbrake swap
front/rear se-i sway bars

body is probably the best i've owned for a 3g.. the car was previously converted to 5spd..

pics are up in the first post..

the car as a lil'bit of rust... but i will bring it to someone else to rid of it asoon as i'm driving it so it doesnt turn into somthing huge like my previous projects...

other than that.. its in pretty good shape i think..

That car is pretty damn minty! The blue interior looks pretty damn good all fresh and nice like that... Seriously though, a turbo A20 in the Integra would be hilarious. What are you going to actually put back in the Acura?

if you dont mind me making a how to for you I will, to keep everything organized. I can communicate with you about small stuff and we make one deatailed How to, post it in new thread and stick it in General Engine swap section..

How about that mister?

yea it was bought by my parents in the late 90's then sold to my uncle, it was then converted to 5spd.. and never really driven after than.. so it sat most of the time until recently it was given to me.


Going to be sweet!

thanks.. its been a while since i worked on one of these cars in there original form lol.

i dont mind at all... i will be taking alot of pictures but i wont always post.. best thing to do is pm me from time to time for updates.. i will mostly be restricted to working on it weekends.. there are alot of things i want to do to the car first before i make this swap possible.. and one of those things are use the 97 accords fuel delivery system so i dont have to pull any of the interior outside of having to replace the cluster and add an ecu.

my swap will not include using the innovative mounts as i understand that you cant use regular b18 axles with them. i will be using the axles from the 97 ls.


wow i so didnt know that energizer made car batteries too :O

yea i didn't know they did either until i got that car. i will buy another if i need to, its been really good to me with the cold..

Energizer Batteries can be bought at Wal-Mart.

That's what I have on my Civic and it's a really good battery.

It just keeps going and going and going...


So, B18C5 3G huh? That's going to be sweet.

What are you going to do with the Old BS1? I'd like to get that valve cover.

Because it has a screw on emblem. :D

Does the carb work fine?

I'd need a few things (like the "ECU")

Vector

well, it looks like my plans are changing for the 86lx.. im not doing the itr swap anymore...

instead, I'm putting this in, once i find a transmission and flywheel/clutch/axles.

someone around here in canada on this site probably knows where i can get a 5spd transmission cheap?

i'm well aware of its abilities...

k24a2 pistons/rods, k20a2 head, kpro, skunk cams...


ninja edit..

complete motor from pan to head itself was 169 from pick and pull... but once i was done with everything it came to 366 w/tax/core/eviro fees, and this stuff:

05 accord cluster w/pigtail ( i need a wiring diag, haven't had any luck so far finding one..)
3 engine mounts
ecu + wiring to engine
exhaust header+downpipe
starter\alternator
ps + ac pump
transmission service cover/bracket

yea, it was pretty gross inside, blood splatter, the paramedics left a bunch of stuff, respirators, medical tape, syringe... it was a chore getting the cluster out.. not to mention the ecu lol.

I don't mess with parts from cars that had possible fatalities in them. That's bad juju man.

i believe the person surived.. but since i dont think about bad luck parts.. it doesnt bother me.. never had problems before with parts that come from cars like that lol.

Document this completely and publish plzzzzz!

Vector
04-14-2010, 10:32 AM
will do for this one. i will again be doing custom mounts for this once i get proper axeholes...

also found a 5spd transmission from a 05 2dr cp.. it was drivin into a lake.. but for 200 bucks, i will take a chance.. they mentioned some water got in but was able to drain it and spin it, didnt make any funny noises.. they also have a flywhee/clutch/shifter/cables... so this will go underway pretty quick i imagine once i get it together.

same here >< they get there daily as soon as it opens and have every aftermarket/ good part pulled off of the cars by noon and then they go take it to the other auto dismantlers and sale the parts for more!
