    very tempting...1500 bucks is a lot for a 3 gee now days...i picked mine up for 500 bucks...but i knoe i can sell it for at least 1500 since it only has 140k...the next best engine is the b18 with special mounts...i think they make like 160hp and 140lbs torque

    i know how you feel about it..but yeah...our stock engines kinda underperform....only turbo and you will get out good numbers.

    Re: h22 swap

    agreed a20 FTW... 1500 is a lot for an accord that's been in snow and or has any type of rust. i paid 2500 for mine in 04 wiht 129k miles... but it's an arizona car all it's life with no damage and no rust. so i don't think i'll ever sell mine even for 1500. i <3 my 3gee.

    B20A5 is from 3G prelude 88-89, it won't boltup in our accord.
    When ever you see B20A on this board it means JDM or EDM engine. They were not available in the US or canada. You have import them.

    Anyother engine such as B, F, H, Or D series would reguire custom mounts and rest of the stuff to work.
    B series engine works just fine in accord. It has same amount or very close numbers in torque.

    with a built a20 for turbo you can run 13.7 like the guy from ny....with a stock a20 you can get like high 14s low 15s on with like 8 psi
