Well, you could install a 3g Accord B20A from New-Zealand. That's your best option I think. If you want you can get a B20A block and the B18A head. This would save you from the Carb => EFI conversion. THe Whole B18A could be used but you might as well get a 2 liter engine in the process

You've got an A20A1 in an 85? Is that a stock thing in Australia, or did you do a conversion already? Maybe they started that a year ealier. From what I know, here in the U.S. the 85's all had ES series engines (1.8ltr).

While most people on the forums are from the U.S., I think that most of the stuff can be applied to other country's cars too. Also, lots of people here like to get info on the JDM cars, and we would love to have your knowledge added into the pool. I would say this is a very international site, since I've seen other people on here from all over the world.

Welcome to the forums!
