nope. not unless you want to go FI or if the engine is giving you problems. Are you trying to swap a different honda engine in? if so the kseries is the way to go. easy swap

it should be there tuesday... So take your keyboard and wrap it around your neck and hang yourself with the cord.
it depends what the car is worth to you i reckon

what kind of swap are u talking about. swaping in a A20a3 to replace ur A20A1 or are u talking about swapping another series swap like a b-series swap?
anything you do is going to be a bitch.
what are you'r goals and what do you expect?
un-motivated!
someone make me an offer i just could not say no to.
3GR
and how much money do u have??? cuz a swap isnt cheap
i'd swap to EFI and keep an a series. these cars aren't that heavy, so it doesn't take a whole lot of power to be fast. a simple turbo setup will get you a long way. just look up what accord epicenter has done with his car and what he's getting out of it.
I got it for a grand and it does not o me anything. I just wanted to have some fun with it. I replaced the revers gear to get rid of the crunching sound and a some other things. I am working on fixing am oil leek.
well definetly a fi swap is in your future my friend and

where are you located? there's a decent amount of power to be found with some carb mods.
but it is also a lot easier to work with fi though. but for a g, i would not go in too deep unless you like it.

but the first/most important question he should ask before deciding is what are his plans with the car? sure, he may not exactly know right now. but what does he want to see from it?
like a lot of guys said, you should consider a lot of things before you do any swaps. One of the major ones IMO would be to have a second car to get around.
if you want reliable daily driver, stick with what you have a just fix it up.

money is not an issue. i have an inturnship at an auto shop that works on hondas and acuras so i can get an engine and trans pretty cheep. check out there site at: http://www.thehondapeople.com/
