    Cool BOLINKXR-89LXI's b20 swap complete (56k beware)

    It took aprox. 2 days, it would have taken less time, but a few things had to be modified. The car runs pretty good (nothing a little tunning can't fix.)







    Working hard there aeee trevor


    Custom Downpipe for dc header.








    Now where are your pics Trevor?

    looking good. hey justin you guys did a good job on the swap. hey trevor told me you need a wiring harness for your dash from a 88-89 carb hatch or coupe . ill keep a look out at the junk yeard for ya. anyways it feels pretty good when you drive it. its got a different feel to it then the a20. when i drove it i kept hitting th rev limiter in second. because it doesnt whine out the the a20 does. you just keep going. its badass. i let him bolink shock you into telling you how much he paid for it. good job guys.

    You know what is funny, the motor should pass emissions with no problems, it is the visual that is the problem. Stupid California. All the emissions and sensors are hooked up correctly, whats the problem cali?

    Man, that engine is looking tight! pretty clean and shiny. Let's see how long it stays like that

    man, everytime I see something like this, makes me just do a swap myself. I don't know, I don't know what I'm gonna do! all i know is that Income tax time is coming!

    On the other hand, I'm still adding stuff to my A20. Its just so tempting, I CAN'T STOP!

    Is that Justin's shop???

    I was wondering what DC header did you use? Is it the same one as the A20? or is it the one for the prelude b20? Did you have to move the O2 sensors? Thats what it looks like anyway. Thanks

    P.S. Looking sweet!!!!!

    Thumbs up b20a

    Im so happy thats its finally done I got the motor 6 months ago .I paid $275 for the engine I spent $80 dollars on the tranny the DC header was $300 the cat back was $150 the labor on getting the bottom of the hrader fixed $90 the new cluch was $100 the fly wheel $20 supplies were $100 and all the labor putting it in was free and Im sure there was some odds and ends $30 all together $1145 is not bad for all the extra power Im varry happy. :smokin:

    header

    he DC header is for a 89-91 prelude but you have to make a new down pipe and plug the o2 sensors and put them in the down pipe like it the pixs:smokin:

    The accord bay is rather nice to do swaps and pulling the motor would be fast for Justin (think he said 45 minutes) so they would have been done a lot faster and i see the issues with the downpipe now.

    Yeah but I still don't see why the O2 sensors were placed so low instead of leaving them in the factory location........ I know some fab work was done on the downpipe but it was done below the factory sensor location...... Can you guys clear this up for me.....
