its is ok, but too loud for me to really test it without getting in trouble. Im trying to find out about this guy who has his own exhaust shop at home, close to me.
It definatley does not like the little DFEV weber, Im swapping the 38 over to it as soon as I can. I used that carb to just get things going so it is time to drop the sippy cup and use the mug. lol

I dont know how I got the color so far off on those shades, I must have picked up the wrong paint. It is so far off Im gonna have to respray them before I take it to the atlanta meet this month.
Im going to hook up toggle switches to the lock up solenoids till I figure out the right combination.

Drove it on the highway and man do I miss driving that car, it has been a year since I bought the engine. I need to get a msd or accell box with limiter before I push it too hard, the tranny wants to downshift sometimes too far.

so disappointing roodoo (automatic box)

I think the Auto is cool. Makes the car into a great cruiser that can give you a little punch to the seat of your pants with the press of the foot. I always thought it was fun driving my dad's 3.1 Chevy Lumina on the freeway, chilled back with one arm out the window, and stomping Civics without much effort... My preference is for manuals, myself. But that doesn't make the roodoo auto any less cool. Keep us updated roodoo.

Doesn't the B20A have higher redline than the A20? I thought it was supposed to rev to 6500 or 7000 or something?

6500rpm but max power is 6300rpm
i like manuals better too, i dont understand auto boxes so i scrap them, all they do is steal power and use more gas. and fail lots cause they cant handle the power of a B20A
The car is still pretty quick automatic, but i would much rather select 3rd gear and floor it when passing cars haha

I liked the auto in this car before, it had a wicked 60 foot.
Im saving my duckies for a bell housing dog so be on the hunt. lol

I reved it pretty good once with the header and open tip cherry bomb and it sounded pretty dam mean, like zuki drag bike.. I know it is not even comparable though. lol
it seems to have a very wide range of power avaliable so I worry about setting up the auto throttle pressure to accomodate differerent driving styles. A rev limiter is going to be a must have item once I get comfortable with the set up to hammer it good on a civic. lol

i will get a vid up soon as I can, the weather turned to iceland here again

I loved matting the pedal on my 3/4 ton. You get a slight delay, then the 700R4 drops two gears to second, and the back half of the Quadrajet opens way, way up. Thing sounds like it'll suck the hood in with it. Way more fun than trying to double clutch the 3 gear SM465 rock crusher manual into second and the lugging it all the way into the power.

What is the redline on the B20A? I keep hearing fuel cut happens at 7200 RPM, and varying numbers on the redline.

wow

this puppy is sweet, got the exhaust done today, 2.25 all the way and quiet muffler.
Now I have a strange ringing sound around the engine front. sounds like a loose washer
The engine has a 22r sound to it, big and torqey yet queit

the weber 38 puts it over the top though, it has a hella power band that kicks in early and then another one late right before it snatches the whole front of the car when it hits second. Im gonna need a custom dog bone..

Sweet thats awesome!Vids now!

Is that a driveable swap? I need to see that. Makes me miss my old 3gee

old one won't fit at all? i can put you an aluminum insert in one,but i need one that fits first.

I bet that loose washer sound is coming from the distributor...mine sounded like that on my A20 before i replaced it

congrats on such a nice swap

Sweet dude! I agree, videos!!

ells yez Steven itz a grocery getter. lol

the sound is coming from the top of the exhaust/ head/possibly torque converter area. It goes away with rpm, is loudest at idle and can be changed by cracking the thottle a little.
I am runing the lock up solenoids open and not energized at this time. Haunted I need that jdm accord info!!
when these are on or off so I can either rig an rpm monitor or use toggles.
YEs vids coming but be warned it makes very little sound till you hammer it, and then just like I intended, the cops cant spot me a mile away and know who it is from the sound.

LOst Im going to try and cut one down ( bone) today and see if i can make one work then Ill let you know. I may go to JY if it si nice out and see if one from another model car would work. Seems like they used to make aftemarket ones for usdm cars.

Edit: I fixed the rattle noise, it was the plugs in the o2 holes on the header. A little teflon tape and hi temp silcon fixed that FTW. Also this car will roast the tires on dry pavement from a stand still !!

we need vids man...THIS THREAD IS WORTHLESS WITH OUT VIDS. LOL...nice man cant wait to hear it

Man this is the first time Im seeing the ride, Its bangin! I wish I had the time and/or energy to do a swap. Yeah, now I see why you were beside yourself for not bringing it out last weekend.

Not much done to the car these past months, here are some pics of it as DD.
Never polished the manifold, never finished removing glue from pinstripes, never clear coated paint blends, never strip and paint valve cover,argghhh

geesh never aligned bumper, never installed my clear corners, im a slacker I guess..the bitch is a blast to drive though

Car is looking sexy as always :thumbup:

i'm going to have to make you a custom air cleaner one of these days

Yeah man! Nice to see some pic updates! That intake manifold looks great! I know how it goes not having time to work on the car. I'm at that point myself right now. Too busy to tear my B20A back down until maybe next month. Must be nice to be driving it daily!!

^^^ oh yes yes^^^^^
I tinkered the tv adjustment over the weekend and with the milder temps in teh 70-80 degree lately, it is real responsive. I had the cable set where it would not kick down too easy at cruise speed so it would not drop down two gears, but now that im used to it I have it set with light throttle it is just right.
