K bye.

[Maybach310]

Nice lsvtec

[obdriver6]

Come on, start stuffing!

[MessyHonda]

i hope the headers clear the front crossmember. because my stock gsr ones i had to notch it.

[Rendon LX-i]

Made my own cross memeber

[gfrg88]

sick shit josh!

[Rendon LX-i]

Thanks gio. Looking for 200 all motor. I should do that easily

[Legend_master]

i hope the headers clear the front crossmember. because my stock gsr ones i had to notch it.

Was going to say the same thing.


Made my own cross memeber

and great solution lol. Looking good man, should be driving shortly!

[2ndGenGuy]

w00t! Engine looks good man! Can't wait to see it on the road, better get a dyno man!

[Rendon LX-i]

For sure John. Have to get other meet together.

Legend. Yea I figured that the cross member going to be tight . So I hacked a lot off an boxed it using some pretty beef steel.

[mykwikcoupe]

Mine is notched back to where it splits then the guy hammered the down tubes basically in half so they would clear.

[Tdurr]

Awwww snap, I bet that sr20 is gonna pull a premium. Race wars is only a few weeks away

:D

[Rendon LX-i]

Lmfao.

[Tdurr]

Lol looks like I'll be havin some vtak fun

[ShyBoyCA6]

can i see this hacked Crossmember?

[AccordB20A]

looks good is it in yet?

[Rendon LX-i]

Not yet . After Xmas break I need to buy a few more things .

[Tdurr]

U'll not I'll. Damn auto correct

[AccordEpicenter]

Thanks gio. Looking for 200 all motor. I should do that easily

youre gonna need a reeeeeaaally big turbo to catch me!

[ShyBoyCA6]

ill be happy with 180 or 200 :) when i get mine ;)

[Rendon LX-i]

youre gonna need a reeeeeaaally big turbo to catch me!

Already have a big turbo 70/63 garret bb. I'm saving up for forged internals. :lol:

[Rendon LX-i]

ill be happy with 180 or 200 :) when i get mine ;)

That's easy with a LSV . That a I have a jdm y1 (tight gearing)

[AccordEpicenter]

Already have a big turbo 70/63 garret bb. I'm saving up for forged internals. :lol:

We need to have a race when you get setup. Car vs car. A series vs B series. Turbo vs Turbo.

Bring slicks, not excuses

[ShyBoyCA6]

That's easy with a LSV . That a I have a jdm y1 (tight gearing)

damn! im jelly haha ill probably be sticking with LSD. just hope they have conversion kits.

[Rendon LX-i]

We need to have a race when you get setup. Car vs car. A series vs B series. Turbo vs Turbo.

Bring slicks, not excuses

Epic . Would be a honor

[AccordB20A]

but its vtec vs nonvtec to fit in there too not that it should make too much of a differene

[Tdurr]

We need to have a race when you get setup. Car vs car. A series vs B series. Turbo vs Turbo.

Bring slicks, not excuses



This. I love it. I'd fly out to watch.


Or maybe drive :ninja:

[mykwikcoupe]

youre gonna need a reeeeeaaally big turbo to catch me!

You have the power and that is proven, can he put it on the road. The a20a doesn't have a LSD that I know of to cross reference and Id be surprised if the washer trick works with that much power pushed through it. Would be an awesome site to see that run the 1/4

[89T]

i have a lsd.;) And i'll own both of them.

[AccordEpicenter]

i have a lsd.;) And i'll own both of them.

Jerry do you want in on this action? Turbo 3g Race?

[89T]

Win or lose. You bet you'r ass.

[89T]

both of you dont forget to rep 3gr! lol.

[AccordEpicenter]

is wickedaccords car still together? We need to get a bunch of turbo 3gs for a shootout!

[89T]

I am not sure. Zackidarko comes to mind for some reason.

[Tdurr]

Fuuu makes me wish i still had my car... Oh well. Next go will up there with yall.

[AccordEpicenter]

Fuuu makes me wish i still had my car... Oh well. Next go will up there with yall.

ummm what happened to your car? I must be behind the times.... Last I read you had issues with it...

[89T]

He left it out and it got took.

[AccordEpicenter]

shitty...

[Tdurr]

shitty...

Very. Guess i need to post up some forum pics tomorrow.

[Rendon LX-i]

Psssst! Almost had me you never had me , you never had your car lmfao. Owwwwwwwwww. Regardless I tasted what the a20 can do boosted an was impressive . But I also tasted a stock b series an to me it took less money an tuning to make a b series walk then a a series. It will be one hell of a run.


But win Or lose it would be a honor to meet you guys .

[89T]

calm down Toretto... lol

Theres no fun in easy!

[AccordEpicenter]

Either way there is no way youll do the swap and boost it for less money than a turbo A series. A series or B series, having another boosted accord around is still awesome.

And neither is a bad way to spend ten thousand dollars!

[mykwikcoupe]

I am not sure. Zackidarko comes to mind for some reason.

Not sure why really. I have the old racetek he used to have. He once sought out an aaron wier a series manifold for a custom turbo. That never followed through but he did acquire the b16 hatch from racetek.

[gfrg88]

I guess I'll have to rep for the ClassicPrelude side and join this race :rolleyes:

[gfrg88]

btw, screw your guys' A series and B series. BT>all!!!! :devil:

[89T]

Not sure why really. I have the old racetek he used to have. He once sought out an aaron wier a series manifold for a custom turbo. That never followed through but he did acquire the b16 hatch from racetek.My fault. I thought he ended up with wicked's car. ooh well.

[Tdurr]

Lol. I'm lovin these last two pages. Ppl are getting close to be street ready with their boosted cars.

[Rendon LX-i]

Update. Got the finishing touches on the crossmember and got all the gaskets needed. I hope can stuff her in shorty. Im looking for itr cams and ill be getting a set of blox cam gears her shorty to. im getting stoked. I got pics BUT ill save em LOL

[gfrg88]

[bullard123]

Nice!! Clean swap and that engine looks mint!! How many miles on it??

[Rendon LX-i]

None lol. Have to do a few things before I do a start up vid

[bullard123]

MY bad I meant before you dropped it in...Did you buy it from a importer?? They normally give you a guesstimate on how many miles it has done before they sold it

[89T]

ooh! I though you forgot how to use a camera My bad lol!

[Rendon LX-i]

Lol right! No I buildt this motor from the ground Ls Vtec

[MessyHonda]

that intake manifold is big. should of got a blox or skunk

[89T]

You sure forgot how to text a guy back.

[89T]

coughvictor \x/ cough. lol!

[MessyHonda]

yes i had a victor x that i never installed but it was going to be a really nice fit on the a20

[Rendon LX-i]

Messy it's big but if I want to break over 200 I need this intake

[MessyHonda]

good shit. dyno vids after break in

[AccordB20A]

good stuffffffff

[Tdurr]

Oh my. Goddamn street racers.

[Rendon LX-i]

today after work i should have the bay buttoned up. axles installed tmount braket bolt i needed. i need to cut that old mount off to run my iac. then i need to make room for the header LOL. alot to do but not really hard part is done so just little things i need to do.

[Tdurr]

Slacker :p

[87roach]

Wow!

I too was beginning to think that this was just a fable, awesome to see it finally in there man.

[Rendon LX-i]

K will it bit of a bind up I fucked up an got a Sk7-N midshaft which means its a AUTO shaft I couldn't get it to bolt to the block im like wtf. Did some research an the sk7-J is the one I need . So off to the junk yard I go tomorrow !

[obdriver6]

Nice to see this thing getting done! For a minute I thought I would never see it. lol

[-$MOKIN-]

IM SO PROUD OF THIS CAR THE SHIT DUDE . Cant wait for first start vids .

[AccordB20A]

oh the waiting

[Tdurr]

Its been 9months...

[ShyBoyCA6]

Question: where did you cut the cross member? front side? im guessing for the down pipe area to fit snug?

[Rendon LX-i]

I mad a cross member but wasn't close. So I'm redoing another

[Rendon LX-i]

Update. Car is almost ready to start. Got my gsr midshaft an I try to use a 89 teg driver. DIDN'T WORK. I had a 90 lude drive an it fit like a glove so I have to wait to rockauto exchanges my axle. Last night I had to chop my crossmember a lot lol. But I'm going to box it in. Looks so nice. So I'm down to wiring up the iacv an Vtec . An axle. An intake pipe.

So into for future b series swaps.

If using a cable trans as in A1,Y1,J1,S1. You need a DA mid shaft that has a female end. Anything past 93 you need to use a male style midshaft. There for you would need to use a different seal for the midshaft to put in cable trans.

But here is what I got an it works cause its in the car now.
90-93 DA pass side axle.
90-93 gsr midshaft (same as all years doesn't matter)
88-89 lude driver axle. NOT 90-91 IT HAS a bigger HUB there for wont go into ARE HUB.

But ok pic time lol

http://i728.photobucket.com/albums/ww290/Rendonlxi/a99fc092.jpg

Driver lude axle ^^^ with da mid shaft I try to use the 89 teg was way to short.

http://i728.photobucket.com/albums/ww290/Rendonlxi/6888ff6d.jpg
90-93 DA pass side

[Tdurr]

Yesss

[2ndGenGuy]

So you're using different length shafts on each side? Doesn't that defeat the whole point of the mid-shaft?

[ShyBoyCA6]

I thought pass side was 87? or is cause you are using LSD?

[Rendon LX-i]

John no the 89 teg is way shorter it was my bad on my part. The lude is pretty much the same put a bit longer (1/2) inch . Either way it works. I have LSD so it work just fine lol.

This is what I have an it works with pics. No other thread has pics installed an gives detail . I hated that. I go info from couple members it wasn't sure. I didn't want to make custom axles cause I wanted to buy one if needed.

[c@rtune86]

hey wat mounts r u using

[Tdurr]

^^^ read the first page...

[stat1K]

looks good josh

[Tdurr]

So much stuff isnt clear on here. But we make do with what we got!

[Rendon LX-i]

I basicly said its the same length on both sides . An I posted pics with info for whom wanted to do the swap. I have seen of seen pics of the axles installed.

[Rendon LX-i]

Nice man, freaking nice. I'm probably going to get yelled at for what I am going to say about my car but here it goes. I got a 351w that needs rebuilt right. And my accord needs to run......See where I'm going? Yeah a lot of work but worth it. A lot of cutting. A lot of cussing so far so why not lol. Good work though.

[gfrg88]

[neo_blue_accord]

Lol. I would if this car didn't have such a story line with me. However, I have been thinking about building a chassis and then finding another accord and put that body on it. I would feel bad for cutting up my car. Now a junk yard car, no problem. Getting back to this sweet build, I myself have been kicking around the Idea of dropping in a B18C. Seeing this car coming together has really inspired me to get my shit done lol. Here's my car : http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3909800/1989-honda-accord I will be updating this week.

[Rendon LX-i]

[Tdurr]

This is a spare I had . Work has a tig welder an I pratice on some scrap metal then did my piece. Had to do this in order to run my hytech header

[Legend_master]

Damn dude you took one hell of a chunk out of that. I really need to build a custom front crossmember to support a front mount. I think there is to much movement with the current mount setup I have.

[87roach]

Wow that is a big chunk!

Did you think about putting some triangles in the corners at all? if there's any room that is..

[Rendon LX-i]

LOL didnt i say its reniforced. I put heavy bracing inside and a couple plates in the thing area. its strong trust me. plus its not holding ANY weight. b series using the side points and rear thats it. i could put something there to give a better mount. but it strong and it will work.

[Tdurr]

Hmmmm intresting....

[MessyHonda]

[oldschool3g]

[gfrg88]
