B20A exhaust ports space

[carotman]

Anyone knows if the space between the exhaust ports is similar to the "regular" B series engine.

I could get my hands on B20A5 flanges and I was wondering if I could just weld a header from a B18 or B16 to it...

I know we can use a B20A5 header but it involves some cutting... and ther isn't much choice out there.

Are you getting those flanges off ebay?

I was thinking the same thing you are, and I am sure it could be done fairly easy. I've never actually measured the spacing on a B16/B18, but just the fact that they are similar in so many ways to our B20A's indicates it should not be that hard. If you have a local parts store you like, go ask to take a look at an exhaust gasket for one of those motors. Hell, ask them to pull out a B20A5 and a B18 and do a quick compare. I might do that this weekend if I get a chance.

I saw some thing on a prelude board but i dont think they ever found a flange that fit right. I tried an H22 before but i cant recall if the ports are the same or not cause i know the holes were off a bit. I can check when im back home cause i saved the H22 exh manifold gasket.
