Honda Tuning Article , B20A Swap

[ZackieDarko]

3rd generation JDM accords and 2nd generation JDM preludes have the B20's that will drop into the 3G

[snoopyloopy]

so only the b20 from japan will work in the accords
so no usdm
any help will help
i am just wanting to do the swap
no one has it around omaha

no, not "only the b20 from japan" will work. it's the b20a from the 1985-1989 accord/legend or 1984-1987 prelude. (because there's also a b20a for the 1988-1991 prelude that will NOT bolt in.) but you're not limited to japan. if one of those is too hard to come by, you may be able to find on in new zeland, australia, the phillipines, maybe the caribbean. or you could get a b20a1 from europe from the same cars as the jdm b20a, although it has lower numbers. but they can be upped with a few mods.

if kids can make over 300whp with vtec d16's, 2g dsm turbos + injectors, a bottom end build, a cheap log turbo manifold, and Crome obd1 tuning, the a20 could be SURE to match it.

that's without head work. I'd love to a20 turbo RIGHT now. I wish I had money I didn't have to sacrifice for rent.

the Legend never came with a 4cyl, I think you are talking about the vigor and I dont think they came with a b20.

[ZackieDarko]

to fix all this i think place racing should come back into business and start making kits for our cars again

oh, i guess i'm out of the loop. did someone buy them to make copies?

and if i didn't know better, i'd say that that was actually a 3g. except for the center part of the tails.

:lol: that does look exactly like a 3g except for hte center tails lol

[crazykamper]

lol. ^ that looks exactly like it. lol!!! lol. i thought it was a 3g till someone pointed out the center peice (lets just say i dont pay attention to detail. lol)

[speedpenguin]

The Vigor is essentially a hopped-up Accord, that's why. I think it was called the Accord Vigor at one point.

[crazykamper]

makes sense ^

[snoopyloopy]

hmm....and that model of the vigor never made it stateside did it. does anyone know the specs on those? was it basically like an se-i plus or something?

[ZackieDarko]

it's teh JDM dude thats teh extra spec :-p
