B20a

[scorch222]

I am looking aat buying a 89 Accord EXI/LXI... I was wondering about the B20A.. is that fuel injected? what kind of power does it put out? and where do i get one with a 5 spd tranny because there is an automatic in the car now.
thanks
Chris

i will tell U same thing than other told me before, search a little in the board, or just DO a search

By the way, welcome

I'll be nice and answer but pls from now on, SEARCH BEFORE YOU POST DAMMIT! thx :)

B20A is fuel-injected from the factory but it can be carbed.. you don't need to worry about that if you're getting an injected car to drop it in. It puts out 160hp/140tq and revs to 6500-ish I believe, not sure where the peaks are though I'm certain one of the B20A enthusiasts on here can give you those. The 5-speeds are unfortunately very rare but people have found them recently. You will need to do a 5-speed conversion on your car if you drop a 5-speed B20A in; you can find information on how to do this in the How-To section. You basically only need to worry about the parts that apply to the shifter, pedals and bracket, clutch cable, shift linkage, and axles since the mount, computer, flywheel, and tranny itself will be new for the swap.

I find it hard to believe you spent hours searching on this topic and couldn't come up with the little bit of stuff I just said. This has been covered again and again and again and again... Not trying to be overly critical but maybe you should refine your search techniques :lol

[mykwikcoupe]

actualloy josh has been here long before most. Just because a person only has 100 posts doesnt make him a noob. It means he like to read not talk.

carot know me with my first hatch88 for more than 2 years now. It's just that before, the 3geez board was useless for me because i had no problem with my car and had no mods too.

Now, i'm swapping a b20aJDM with dual weber, now i need to read a lot and I still read. I just have hundred and a half post 'cause i don't have so much time to waste here with some bitching guys. I prefer ask my question directly to Carotman 'cause he's friend of mine and i can see him almost when I want, so why waste my time on this board when i have my 3geez accord god just beside me?

These last words about bitching was not for anyone but maybe some can wear the hat.

What is cheaper?? What's the figure on one of these swaps? I am tired of reading about how cheap this swap is..Get me a figure on this. Also ppl talking about the how much torque it has.. That thing was rated @ 119lbs.. WOW!!!!

[fuzzy audio]

I wanna know how much it is too!

[RobT5580]

Well you can drop a stock B20A in for as low as $1000 if you find a good deal but i always do a full rebuild which tends to cost money but you can drop it pretty much right in but thats taking a chance that everything is good. As for the torque they were rated at 140 lbs whichs is pretty high when you compare it to other honda motors. Im still glad i stuck with the B20A because it is original to the car and pretty rare considering the amount of 5spds plus in comparison to other b-series.

eaactly!!!! I got my B20A for dirt cheap... even with the rebuild and performance upgrades, it will only come close to the plaecracing kit price..... but I'll have an engine that will kick any stock B18C1

I think price will vary depending on how cheap u can find the engine. You got lucky , but some ppl are paying 1200 bucks for it. It would be nice to have an estimate. Users read cheap and do not know what they are really getting into. As for beating a Stock B18c1 ..Miracles can happen. Last JDM B20 ( I/H/E ) that tried doing that was 2 1/2 cars behind and it was only 1st gear.

the b20 drives a 2500lb 86 hatch to 15.25@92 mph in the 1320. i think it has a little more torque then that
