2g lude b20a

[kji420]

well i found a b20a at my work today. its kinda funny, seeing as though i work at a wrecking yard im used to seeing the normal a20x motors and today when i saw what i thought was an a20 but upon closer inspection found it to b a b20a. now ive searched and im still not quite sure if this b20 is the 160hp version or not. its outa a 2g lude, dual side draft carbs and it looks identical to th 3g accord a20. same mounts and everything. if it is the 160hp b20a, what options do i have in reguards to transmissions? will my a20a3 tranny bolt on or do i need to find the original b20 tranny?

b.t.w. 86k original miles(grandma couldn't figure out y it wouldn't start, a dead batt was quite an overstite)

are you sure its the b20a? cuz they had a b18 with the dual side drafts that came with 130hp...if i was you i would take it out since that engine is a good find. https://www.3geez.com/forum/showthread.php?t=45782

sweet. hop on that if you can, man. that's a good find right there well worth the time it'll take you to yank the engine.

nope, this one's sohc. but what about the tranny?

[JDM89]

how much for the engine and does it come with an ecu? if it does it was a super good find.

If it's SOHC, then it's a B20A3

so does it fit into the accord....im guessing yes...this swap is worth it.

probably only if you're carbed. if it gets 130, that's not a big jump from 122 that you get in the 88/89 a20a3. and being sohc, you'd be right back at square one from where you were with the a-series.

the carb only came with 98hp so to 130 is not a bad jump at all.

if it looks the same as the a20 and its in a 2g lude and its sohc, im thinking it might just be a18

no... B20A3's a lude 3rd gen engine.

I could be mistaken but the b20a3's only make about 100 hp and 107 lbft of torque..
Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

yeah, i didn't know the specs about the b20a3. i was commenting more on him saying swap it if it had 130 and was a b18 instead of b20a3. if it is a b20a3, then yeah, pointless, because it has less power than an a20a3 and doesn't even bolt in.

[B16KILLA]

it would be badass though if it did have 130 though because it would have more torque then power also.
