B20a vs H22a please DO NOT DELEte

**SteveDX89** · 03-24-2005, 08:39 AM

There are so many variables involved that it's hard to say. Just search the net. Check http://www.honda-tech.com. See what setups those guys have and the power that's generated.

ok since no one really gives me a straight answer im going to propose that the JDM H22 (or H23) will give the most power, following that i will suppose that the B20 will give the second most power. thank you

**Justin86** · 03-24-2005, 09:14 AM

I'd go with the JDM H22 or even a K series

Look buddy, with enough work and $$, any one of these motors will give you as much power as you need. Why don't you go TrOLL on other boards, and come here when you have questions with the swap, or something real to contribute.

**ropponmatsu** · 03-27-2005, 06:27 AM

Yea some moderator closed my other forum so i just wanted to say that i will have a complete engine swap with either a H22a or a "K20a" (i-vtec) done by june of 05'. in the mean time i will be gathering information and all neccesary parts. and for youll that think it takes forever to do one of these engine swaps, i belive (know) that i will complete this engine swap (when i start) in no more than a week (at the maximum). And no im not one of those noobs who just makes stuff up

. and yes I will get pics for EvErYoNe. :flipa:

**SteveDX89** · 03-27-2005, 06:43 AM

One week. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

fuckin noobs.

**88tandx** · 03-27-2005, 11:22 AM

took me longer than a week to put a k engine in an ek hatch. and thats one of the more straightforward swaps. this might be the biggest bitch of a swap in honda swap history. id say you're looking at end of summer after you deal with parts and getting the wrong ones and then sending them back and then getting the right ones but they dont fit properly so you gotta fab up something so they do and by the time you go through this with pretty much most of your parts, especially with this swap, you've wasted almost a month if not more. props on the swap but you gotta be realistic and a lot less cocky.

why don't you set up a cardomain site and get some pics of your car going? show us your motor?

**myaccord7** · 03-27-2005, 03:07 PM

yeah

**ropponmatsu** · 03-27-2005, 03:18 PM

hehe,
Ok. i will set up a cardoiman site but it will be alittle while cuz i dont own a digital camera im getting one most likely within a couple of weeks so just be pateint. However the only pictures that are going to on thier are pictures of my current A20A3 (wow!). But about my swap i most likely will go with the H22 swap cuz i dont even want to know how expensive a K20 swap would be.
oh ya 88tandx your funny real funny seroius and i believe you swaping a k20 into a 3g accord would defienately be the biggest bitch in 3g honda swaping history! (but it is possible)

**racerx** · 03-27-2005, 04:23 PM

Anything is possible. Heck, with enough money you could fit a ferarri V12 in there. You'd have to weld in motor mounts, stretch the frame, redo the entire interior, etc, but it's possible.

But, yeah, an H22 shouldn't be as much of a problem.

well thanks to youll that believe that i can do this swap be it the H22 or K20. And if i do swap the K20 then i guess i could be considered a "hero".

hehe

**smufguy** · 03-27-2005, 07:26 PM

June huh? well why would you start a new post in Engine swap when u have not even started it?

damn you. I will be keeping an eye on this post every two weeks and you better have some progress cause all u have is just 3 months, which is about 15 weeks. Unless u cram ur ass, u aint gonna get it done. By now, you should be having a motor at hand and the design and plan sorted out.

**ropponmatsu** · 03-27-2005, 07:31 PM

its no problem for me to cram i am a theoretical mathematician sooo, this really isnt that big of a deal and if you like i will be more than happy

to keep you posted on all progress smufguy

***Vanilla Sky*** · 03-27-2005, 07:57 PM

while i don't doubt that it can be done, but with just 3 months until you want it done, you should have your motor in hand, your car ready to be torn down, all the tools gathered, including any specialty tools you may need, and enough materials to finish the swap (axles, linkages, mounts)...

i honestly don't think a motor swap is that big of a deal if you can weld and do some machine work yourself... i mean hell, i've seen people turbo a lawn mower engine, shove a v-8 into a miata, and cram a caddy northstar into a delorean... this is a simple job compared to that...

get the motor fully mounted in the car, and start shooting pictures...

and BTW, whereabouts do you live? i'd like to see this thing in progress, and maybe help out a little if i can

**smufguy** · 03-27-2005, 08:11 PM

well mounting is one thing, and getting it working "right" is another. So its gonna be that part that im gonna be looking at....... the working right part. I do not and never have cared for people who attempt new shit, even tho i respect the efforts, me personsonally need form and function which is the result. If you got no result, all ur efforts are just a mere waste.

So good planning, troubleshooting tactics (came up before u start working) and identification of the problem areas are the key to do anything fast, good and right.

ps: Derick, Try a northstart V8 in a late 80s VW GTI bro. now that was mind bogling to me, looking at that shit drive around. whoooooooooooooooo.

**ropponmatsu** · 03-28-2005, 07:32 AM

FYI i live in florida so if anyone lives around here and would like to see my progress your more than welcomed to

Ps. crazieness = V8 89' accord

***Vanilla Sky*** · 03-28-2005, 10:37 AM

**ropponmatsu** · 03-28-2005, 07:20 PM

... there are quite a number of us in florida

ive heard of plakta' but i dont think it is near the daytona region

**my86dx4dr** · 03-28-2005, 07:28 PM

dude. doing a b16 swap is a joke for most people here,.....Let alone something so custom.... good luck Homeslice,

***Vanilla Sky*** · 03-28-2005, 07:28 PM

'bout an hour away... about 30 minutes west of st augustine...

**ropponmatsu** · 03-29-2005, 08:13 PM

ok, and what do you mean person when you say b16 swaps are jokes??? i myself think it is a waste of time.

***Vanilla Sky*** · 03-29-2005, 08:21 PM

because around here, general consensus is that by the time you've put in a B16, you've had your a20 turbocharged or at least making as much power as the b16 NA with just "bolt ons"...

i think that it's a good swap, if you plan on modifying the B16 even further...

in the end, if you plan on turbo, the a-series is probably the cheapest build-up of all the honda motors
