    d16z6 or b20a5

    Which one of these engines would I be better off with in my 1987 DX? I want to turbo whatever engine I get, so what would I have to do to either of these engines in order for it to handle about 8 punds of boost? Where can I find turbochargers and what kinds are the best? Thanks. O yea, and would I need a manual tranny for either of these engine? If so, where can I find one of those? Thanks again.

    H22A dont fit... you will have a hard time doin any conversion besides a carbed B20A from a JDM Accord

    if i were you... i would do a manual tranny swap, then get a weber, a header and full exhaust, camshaft, MSD ignition and maybe even a plate system for the weber... you would have alot more fun with this...

    read this section for info on the JDM B20 and how to carb it.. there is alot of auto trannys for it so it might be the best bet

    Place Racing out of Cali has kits to swap in almost anything you need... they have a web site but it's not done yet. http://www.placeracing.com I believe.... give the dudes a call and ask them what they can do for you.

    I'm not sure how easy the kits are to use, if they're well-made, who makes them, or how much success people have been having with them.... but I'd inquire.

    wheeeeeeeeeee

    That site has been under construction for longer than I've been on this board. On top of that, I seriously doubt they have or would fab D-series kits for a 3g. It's just dumb. D-series are single cam and only 1 or 2 of them have VTEC. Plus they're made for smaller cars and have NO FUCKING POWER.
