    Has anybody ever tried to fit an F20 or F20B out of a JDM 90-93 Accord Si or Accord Si-R into our cars? I am sure it would be alot of work, but those are some sweet, cheap motors.

    They have 150 HP, and that's less than the B20A.

    anything can make power as long as you have $$ and the knowledge to do so...if some old fart can make a yugo run 14's on the motor,then dammit we can make the accord run 10's on the A20!

    Diego no one can take your arguement seriously when you admit to blowing your credit for a Civic si... why not blow your credit and buy urself a motorcycle if you like to rev that high... even if its an Si, its still a Civic

    "it's still a Civic"? Still a Civic? An Si is more than a Civic, and more than a 3G, except that teal B18C 4dr 3G, whoever that is.

    Motorcycle? It'd be fun, but I know I'd get killed....

    diegoaccord, you sound like one of the guys by the name MIke(maurice called him matt) when it comes to revs. See, the bad side of ur need is that, on street we never hit that rpm to make power unless ur street racing or just dumpin it to third or 4th just to get moving
    but with seans turbo kit, like he mentioned, u dont have u rev up that much, and with the money u spend, u got off idle torque and power at ur need and still make a cool ass 20mpg in the city.

    you dont autocorss do u? if u do, u need a motor different than a daily driver. If this is ur only car for that kinda block, then something is wrong.

    Oh, going to quote the master? Yeah, I can't expect much less.

    Yes, I stand behind that saying, atleast here where I live. This is the boonies, you know. When someone sees a EPB 6G Si, whether they're in a 3G Acc, a 6G Civ EX, a 2G CRX, a 5G Acc, they know what's up, and they look for a race. It's like owning a JZA80, NA2, or BNR34 in SoCal.

    As far as your LX-i being more than an Accord? Nah. If it were a JDM 5sp RHD Honda Vigor For Men 2.0Si Exclusive, then it'd be more'n a Accord in my book.

    Nah...I consider those more like EX hatches.

    To me "Civic Si" means 99-00 Civic Si B16A.

    not a K20A3 7G
    not a D16Z6 5G
    not a D16A6 4G
    not a D15A1 3G

    only the EM1 is worthy of being referred to by me as an Si.

    Dude.... An Si IS a Civic with a different drivetrain. It doesn't matter where you live.

    I'm putting a JDM B20A in my Accord as we speak. Does that give me the right to put an Si sticker on the back of my car???

    Answer: No
    Reason: It's still an Accord LX

    BTW.... I test drove an Si, but didn't like how it took forever to get up into the HP range. That's why I'm installing a motor that has 180 foot/pounds of torque bone stock. And it costs less too. And that means that ANY stock Civic will have to play catch-up off the line with my Accord, including Si's.




    SEAN
    ..
    Gone thru two minivans and two sports cars, but my accord keeps on going at 254,000 miles. Actually, it died. But here comes the JDM B20A!!!

    K20A1 - 160 hp & 132 tq - Civic SI (Note: i-VTEC system only on intake cam, single-stage aluminum intake manifold, 86mm x 86 mm)
    K20A2 - 200 hp & 142 tq - RSX Type-S (Note: i-VTEC system works on both cams, 86mm x 86 mm)
    K20A3 - 160 hp & 141 tq - Standard RSX (Note: i-VTEC system only on intake cam, Composite Two-Stage intake manifold, 86mm x 86 mm)
    K24A1 - 160 hp & 162 tq - CR-V (Note: i-VTEC system only on intake cam, 86mm x 99mm )

    curious noob here, how much would it cost to put a b18c5 engine in a 3G? what about motor mounts?

    what about a b20?

    a b16?

    and how does the a20 hold up to boosting? how much is anyone running (psi) on theirs?

    I'd understand if it hasn't worked out, it's a big hassle.

    ALOT..

    Which B20? CRV B20 or the JDM B20a?

    B16 is doable.

    You are in the right section to ask this question, but if u followed the top threads that have 'sticky' to the left of them read those. Also go to the Faq and read about the swaps, they got what manifolds and engines and where u can get the mounts for your B series swap. also dont forget to use the Search function.

    The B20A (JDM) is available, tons of automantics tho, again check the engine swap threads on top.

    You can push around 200whp with an average of 6-9 psi on your stock A20 block, Talk to Sean and search for his threads in the Performance section for ur detailed answers.

    both, the CRV and accord engines.



    and how is it that the no one has tried putting in a 135 si motor from a lude? i'd think simple changes in mounting could fix the issue, they are both cable trannies, obd0.

    has anyone tried putting the lude auto in theirs?

    i currently do not own an accord, but may look into one in the future, i have had an sei in the past.

    i realise these questions have been asked, but any help is greatly appreciated.

    you gotta use the search more often.if ur talkin about the 2nd gen lude with the A20 engine, yeah its good.we also use 1st gen integra trannies (only the internal gears, not the housing itself) but the B20A5 block wont fit and its not a great motor either, the stroke sucks. use the search u will find all your answers, the forum has been going on for over 3 years, so ur bound to find answers to your questions.

    I wasn't looking for power, I was looking for noise, and lot's of it, which I got, and with out piping, it was like driving a slow ass motorcycle, cool shit. Of course nothing does 10,000 stock, but a B series can do it with smaller upgrades than an A20A.
