    b20A question

    With all the b20a threads on this board i feel really stupid asking this question...First of all the b20a is from a 88-91 prelude si is it not?? if not what is it from and will the prelude motor fit a 3g accord? ive read that it won't and ive read that it will, i just wanna know before i start looking for the motor
    if junkyards didn't exist, neither would my car...

    Hey man dont feel stupid! that FAQ post is crap! infact its the most confusing post i can think of that i've read on this forum, to start, here's a good one "The B20A from the Prelude will not bolt to the Accord. The engine mounts are totaly different". Also not untill a few paragraphs later you find out the engine in Europe is actually 137BHP and not 160BHP.
    Its not specific enough and then when people ask questiones they get asked to search and it doesn't always help!

    Well, it wasn't that confusing but I edited it a bit to specify the prelude years.

    B20a1 is 84-86 only, It was in the S.I. model only(137bhp no cat) (2g lude/fits the accords)
    B20a4 is a 3g lude sohc twin carb
    B20a5 is a 3g lude dohc f.i. (137bhp)

    but dont forget these are U.K. spec! tho def facts

    BA2 was the chassis code of the prelude with the B20A1 engine (SI model) and only in the years 86-87 I believe. I'm not absolutely sure if there was a 3rd/2nd gen accord/lude engine with the B20A4 code but I think so.
