    Question Mix Match GoldTop and BlackTop B20A! Issit Possible?

    I am running a 3G Accord with a B20A gold top and its giving me lots of problem lately. I am wondering can a blacktop B20A engine be use with the goldtop manifold and other parts? do i need to use a different ECU or manifold? i only have the black top engine but without the other parts. i plan to reuse all of the gold top parts. is this possible? thank you!

    Yes it's possible, use the gold top wiring harness on the black top and put on the gold top inlet manifold on the black top. That way you can use your existing ECU.

    Oh and the exhaust manifold from the black top also use 2 O2 sensors so you might want to swap those around as well. The goldtop use´s only one O2 sensor.
