    So Ive Been Doing A Little B20A Research...

    So lately, Ive been digging around the net ALOT trying to find B20A swaps for all of us. I have some promising news to report. Passwordjdm has become interested in supplying the swap, and wants to know exactly how much they can hope to get for each swap (engine, 5spd, ecu). So let me know so I can relay the info to them (BTW, I have them looking for the B20A's from 2g ludes and 3g accords).

    500 lol :)

    might be a lowball, but shit if u pay much more than that its probably worth it to just roll b16/18/20 and make your own mounts. :)

    but feel free to disreguard my comment, i dont plan on going b20. :D

    id say no more than $1000. it would be difficult to market above $1000, especially to us :D

    $1000 shipped is the most i'd probably pay. including tranny. maybe $1500 if it comes with axles and ecu

    ECU would be included, they pull all ecu's out of the cars w/ the engines. i'll ask about axles once i get a reply back again.

    1000 is my limit too. Although I'm really hoping those B series mounts get copied then I'm definately putting a B series VTEC in. The A20 is having some issues.

    front clip is great cause it will have everything in place (maybe even including jdm corners and such) but shipping is gonna be horrible - especially to those of us who live in NOT California
    :(

    Re: So Ive Been Doing A Little B20A Research...

    the guy's w/ the clip sell S5 FC front clips for $1500, I can't see them trying to charge more for old accord clips. alot of their clips usually come w/ dash.

    as for the other guy's w/ the swap, they're pretty busy, so im still waiting to get a reply back.

    i lost contact with the shop. it may have been passwordJDM. it was one of the bigger importers that had one sent to them by mistake.

    then i'd doubt they'd sell for that low if they only did that because it was a mistake.

    I'm in for $1000. If we can get a whole front clip for that much, how can I not? I'd even go a little more.
