    Bolt-on fit

    Is there any engine that isn't an A-series that will be a direct bolt-on fit with an '89 accord LX?

    A20A1 (carbed)
    Slowly dying.... catastrophic ignition failure
    91 Prelude Si
    B21A5 MPFI out and apart, coming together.
    Just because I use an old distributer cap as an ashtray does NOT make me a redneck!

    I say go with the DOHV Briggs and Stratton it will leave you with a lot of room for some electric turbochargers and a few of those tornado thingys, u should be able to run 9's no prob.

    That would be even better, becuase you can put a vtak sticker on it ,then you'd be untouchable

    "yup, there sure is one. here's a link: https://www.3geez.com/forum/search.php"

    Alredy tried that, found nothing, asshole.

    "I say go with the DOHV Briggs and Stratton it will leave you with a lot of room for some electric turbochargers and a few of those tornado thingys, u should be able to run 9's no prob."

    "dont forger the Type R sticker for up to 45% hp increase"

    Ok, if you try to crown me as some dumbass rice king, you can go f*ck yourself, cuz that's not me. A simple yes or no would have been just fine. Furthermore, this concept of "flaming" is really immature. Kinda sad coming from (from what I understand) one of the younger people on this board (I'm 19). what are you all in you 20's? Grow the f*ck up!

    "I would just buy a g-tech coversion for the a20, then your atleast around 200whp, I got mine off ebay"

    Thanks for the useful info! It's good to have someone with a brain respond to my question, no matter how dumb it may seem. How much does it cost? what comes in the kit?

    Re: Bolt-on fit

    check it out.

    if you're really into cars, and you really want to do a gsr in your hatch, take a class on autotech and like welding and stuff, and just start messing around. I saw on another forum, this kid just basically took his car apart, and mounted another engine in the back of it (i think it was a jetta or something). Point is, any swap can be done, its just you have to a)shell out a lot of money for it or b)have to start chopping your car up ! Good luck

    oh yeah, dont even bother trying to find a 'g-tech conversion', dude, heh

    Re: Bolt-on fit

    Dude theyre just giving you a hard time because you didnt use the search feature . Look around theres a whhole thread on it i believe.
    But to my knoledge the only motor thats a direct bolt-on to our cars is the B20 ( jdm motor 160hp i believe). Thing is you have to buy one and from what ive heard most of em are autos and are somewhat pricey. It swaps right in but like i said use search or try this link www.3geez.com/forum/showthread.php?t=413
    Dont worry its a real link and in the future use search if that doesnt work do some digging and if you still cant find what youre looking for then post (prefably in an existing thread if its related or possible )
    No more 3G but that doesn't mean i cant look at yours...

    Dont get mad bro,we're just bustin your chops.
    The main reason why we did that is because you were the second of three people in one week that asked the same exact question,and you've been here longer than me thats something you should already know.
