    opinion about engine swaps

    what would be the easiest engine swap for our accords? preferably something easy to obtain, probably a USDM if possibly and JDM if theres plenty of parts around. swap parts like the mounts should be taken into consideration too

    i was just curious if the A20 would be worth my money if i put a turbo in it.

    i think the a20 should be real good with turbo, the only thing that should prevent it from running at its full potential is the engine management, if you were to convert to obd-1 i think you would be reall good, oh and i think the easiest swap would be a b18, i wouldnt go with the accord jdm b20 just cause there really isnt many parts for them eithere so you might as weel just stick wiht the a20

    Re: opinion about engine swaps

    a USDM B18 or a JDM one? and would the mounts that are used be the same? im gonna go and try to source out the mounts for the 86-89 accord, when i can find an appropriate mount, i guess i can start to find the engine for it. i wonder how steve did his B16 swap...

    you should go to swap section of this board and read sticky threads.
    simple answer, anyother engine beside A20 or JDM B20 will have to have custom engine mounts and more.
    Unless you know how to weld or have a ton of money to spend on swap, don't do it.
