this is my first post so hello first of all. i just bought my first 3rd gen 89 lxi hatch 5 speed which i love. it has 160k miles on it though. i was wondering what kind of work i should do to the engine to sort of restore it to its maximum. i want to turbo later. i was thinking about the b20a swap but the a20at sounds more apealing to me. does anyone have any specs on what a turboed a20 would pushing? thanks any and all help is appreciated.
it all depends on how well its built...but you are looking at 190hp-200hp on low boost...look for seans threads...you will get an idea of what the A20 can and cannot do...welocme to the board...dont forget to search too
well im looking for at least 200. 230 would be the ultimate goal. ive tried to search honestly but it gives me an error message. i have managed to find a couple of threads on turbo.
you can get 225 whp no problem with seans setup. look in my sig for more info......
I would agree that 225 should not be a proplem witha little work.Just talk to Sean he is a big help.
yeah 230hp is doable if u do it right. u are looking at over 300ft lbs if u end up with 230hp though. :P
at least according to what i have seen
300ft lbs? wow! his car must fly. yeah im definatly gonna try to look him up and check out your sig nxracer. ive worked on a couple of cars before but ive never rebuilt an engine, where do you guys think i should start?
get a good manual (like haynes) and make sure you have the right tools for the job. It'll make your job a LOT easier and you'll be less likely to screw it up! :D
225 horse is possible with an A20?
very possible for relatively cheap.
do you really have a f22a in your car? Do you have any pictures and info on the swap??
Oh yea just look at sean 88turboaccord or johnny 0Quote:

if you wanna go all out then talk to jhonny o about his 10sec. a20'ed 3g hatchie. it sucks that the search is down. I think stock internals should be able to handle around 10psi but i dunno because i cant remember what the compression ratio is stock. I know my celica with 9:3:1 compression handles 18psi up to 22psi on stock internals. 88turboaccord has a nice turbo setup. justin used to have a nice setup and sean is prolly the person to talk to. He has some stickies up here on performance check them out. WE finally have a 3geez member who admitted he used the search before posting!!! yay
