Dragstrip pictures. (yes 1/4 mile times too)

Oh, I didn't realise how old this thread was... lol

Yes, I agree with Rob..............stand alone ECU is the way to go if you wan't to take the most out of the B20A.
Old B20A/LS ECU are not that good.
Is not necessary to work with AEM ECU ( which is the best but very expensive) but
one e-manage G-Reddy will be OK.
Also one very good mod for B20A is INDIVIDUAL THROTTLE BODIES....................you
can take more than 35hp if you change the stock intake manifold with one ITB kit (Jenvey).
Euro Accord B20a2 with 137hp goes 190+hp stock with header,race cat, free flow exhaust and ITB kit with stand alone ECU.
I think Carotman's jdm B20a with 11:1 compression, regrid cams, P&P head, one good exhaust system (with Header) and one ITB kit will make easy over 200 wheel hp...

The ITBs might come in the future. I was seriously thinking about it but I got the JG Edelbrock manifold for now. This is the biggest thing you can get without goint to an ITB setup

That's good to know that the B20A is capable of such power with an intake upgrade

you cant let the b20a turbo fail, rob... too many trash talkers are expected to go down in flames against that car...

I dont plan on giving up but i have to catch a break somewhere and it better be with the 3rd block cause im out of money and patience on top of personal problems.

And carot the throttle responce was 10x better with the edelbrock manifold and 65mm tb when i put it on. I didnt get to drive it N/A with the changes but it certainly changed throttle responce.

Love the Drama!

I don't know if I mentioned it but I had so much wheel hop that the cig lighter poped out on one of the launches.

Damn, that's crazy. Maybe running some stiffer springs up front might help.

My track day is coming in the next 2 1/2 months. Finally, after having it postponed several times.

Hehe the pictures might not work anymore.

Anyway this was more a test drive than anything else.

I will see with my A/F meter how the Lude ECU controls the fuel but this is definetly one of the first things to change with the intake manifold. The good thing is.... I got those parts in the basement right now... waiting for my car to get out of storage ..... in 2 weeks


The rear and side mounts ahde eurethane in them while the front mount is the Original mount that came with the car. I'm sure it's owrn out and needs to be replaced. The torque rod bushings are also the Honda Originals (16 years old). Those will need to be replaced to reduce wheel hop.

I don't know if I mentioned it but I had so much wheel hop that the cig lighter poped out on one of the launches.

Anyway, I know I can lower this by at least 1 second.... this is where the fun begins

Change those rod bushing or go solid. I still cant believe how much a differance my car handles with the new ones.

Try to make the rear stiff as possible also by those rubbers or maybe rig up somekinda solid deal to tighten it up as best you can. you can put water clamps on the shock rod an see how much suspension travel your getting and try to wittle it down.

mid fifteens is great !! I think really. My car on the gtech runs 17.0 at 89 mph so you have knocked of a lotta time.

To add upping the compresion helps but its only about 3% per point and there is a point of dimishing returns. So if you went from 11.0 to 15.0 your not going to see a %12 increase.
