Do you want to stay with the a20? Or will you upgrade? If you're going to go through all that trouble and expense, might as well get a b20 and start from scratch. Maybe turbo the a20? Whats your whp expectations?

Here can u find a b20 though

Here is a link to re-build kit from Topline. Not bad on the price & pretty good quility. You will see in the link everything listed as for parts list.

I really dont have an hp expectations, i just really want a quality running car, and if i go with a B20 i have to change it to EFI, which i can grab all the wiring out of my 87 exi accord

You can run the B20 carbed, but you'll be losing out on some potential power.

do u got any resources, on how i can hook up a b20 to the carbed

The A20A1 manifold fits the B20 head, the issue is the rest of the carb motors functions.

The 3 things I can think of that may cause an issue would be:
- The thermostat housing ( If it has ports for the A20A1 Thermovalve )
- The distributor, ( I'm not sure if it uses electronic or vacuum advance )
- The EGR may or may not line up.

The one sure issue, if you want to run a fully functional stock carb system on the B20 will be:
- The Air Suction Valve since the AS pipe comes off the A20A Exhaust manifold, but there is no place for it on the B20A exhaust manifold.


You can run a Weber with no problems. A member in the UK had his B20 with a weber... I'm not sure if he switched to a 38 or used the 32/36.
