Performance parts list . 86-89 accord

I feel the need to make this thread for all the new members out there. I will TRY to list all of the performance part available for the 86-89 accord with the A-series motor, unless specified . I will not list the pros. or cons. of each item or power gain, just companies/members and products, and will be your responsibility to SEARCH!!!. "Other" section will be for parts that will fit with some modifications but again it will be your responsibility to SEARCH!!!. If you do not see the parts that you are looking for, it means that they will have to be custom made.

Those were on the B20A

Great write up. Should be a stickied.

Pm a mod after everything is done and edited.

Good info.

So how much work to make h22 ones fit a20.Or would the obx ones be better.

The Eclipse header won't fit an A series motor. The center exhaust ports are offest on the A series, and the Eclipse header and H22 headers have evenly spaced ports like the B20A.

I'm watching this thread. If you don't mind, I'd like to clean it up and post it in the FAQ once we have gone through and verified that everyone is covered.

What about headers from a 4th or 5th gen accord? I found a set of 4-2-1 Dc headers that the guy says will fit on a 1994-1997 accord. will they fit on my A20A1?

Read what he listed, if it's not there then it will need modifying....

No. You're getting away from offset exhaust ports again.

If it isn't meant to fit on an BT, BS, or A series engine, it's not going to work without changing the flange and moving the tubing to match the exhaust port. By the time you've put that much work into a manifold, you're not far from having a ground-up custom manifold.

While it is just metal, you do have to be able to cut, fit, and weld any manifold modification.

4th gen accord test pipe fits. Don't know if that's been thrown in yet..

correction to that. to make a 4th gen test pipe fit you must cut the exhuat pipe behind the cat and reweld it. the flanges are the same but they are positioned different

You also missed out the best clutch manufacturer Clutch net they also do ally flywheels too.

I like this.

Btw as far as the obd1 jumper harness goes, any obd0 to obd1 mpfi harness will work.

Ill see if i have anything to add later.

I thought about that but it really isn't that hard for people to google most of this stuff.

H22 and eclipse headers are only for the JDM B20A.

Yeah, I learned that after I made the list.


Thanks for all the positive replies and keep them coming, I'll try and see if I can find more part to add to the list!

^^ please do.

I don't remember cutting anything, or welding anything. But it's also been almost 8 years since I did it...

^^ yeah, it looks like they are offset by about 90 degrees.

^^ shifter bushing kit?

EDIT: never mind I found it. Thanks

Well shit. Maybe it was a different car??? Can't remember.. BUT I do know for a fact that I used a cheap test pipe that bolted up with no problems :dunno:

^^ Maybe somebody made test pipe for our cars back then.
For the info, I went to magnaflow. You can see that the 1st flange looks the same but its off by 90 degrees.
