    got the b20a installed today.

    Still need to do some mockup on the turbo but since I want to go to the extreme with everything, I think Ill just slap it in N/A mode for now. Let me know what you think about it.

    Re: got the b20a installed today.

    I made sure ALL brackets were the b20a brackets and not the USDM brackets. I wonder if the USDM mounts are higher for some reason? The only other thing that could cuase it is bad offset in the front(belt side) mount or for some reason that welded mount is lower? Maybe we just need to find out if the front mount is different.

    On a side note, since we are talking mounts. The front belt side moun is worn but looks to have a press in bushing. Is it possible to replace this stock bushing with they type used in Hasport, place racing and other mount kits use. The solid type with the outer steel flange? I dont think a window-weld mount is stronger than stock but Id like to see if the other mounts work.

    I think the front and back crosmember on the JDM Accord set lower then the USDM Accord the why the B20a lean's in our Accord.That my theory.
    LX-R coming soon Here's a hint. 89mm stroke/ 41.60cc head /ARP head & main stud's /SRP piston's 81.5mm 9:5:1/Crower Rod's & more to come

    Re: got the b20a installed today.

    had the afternoon off since its tuesday at noon and Ive worked 23 hours in 2 days already. Did I mention I work days. Man work is overloaded.
    Anyways got some running around accomplished. Stopped by the Honda dealership and picked up everything to rebiuld the shifter since its a custom short shifter. I had the shop take 2 inches off the top and reweld the threads back to the remainder of the shaft and fill it in so its fairly seemless. I also had them add 1 inch to the bottom under the ball. It looks alot like messyhondas so I wont post pics of it uninstalled but when I jack up the car next Ill get under there and install it along with the heat shield to make sure it doesnt hit anything.
    I also picked up a set of 87 prelude front upper control arms to rebiuld. Ive got the ingalls camber kit but in less than 1k miles the inner rails of the prada spec 2 tires are showing signafigant wear. Im lowered to the point I have about 1 finger of gap between the well and the rubber. Ill install the zyoxx 18's and take some pics with the konis and GC installed when I rebiuld the front suspension and the rear. Youll have to fogive the rust on the rotors as the car has sat some time in my garage
    Lets see what else. Oh I did carotmans intermediate shaft mod with the b20a5 axle and the jdm b20a AT shaft holder, Ill post pics, somethings wrong. The holder sits away from the blockat about a 7 degree angle.
    Aside from that Im going to finish some other interior mods like swap in the dash that goes with this interior not the tan/black that came with the car.

    Better start saving! LOL its been a long process and its definately a more expensive bang for your buck. But if you are serious feel free to ask questions because i have taken my project way to far.

    So whats up with your swap Mike? I need motivation to finish mine for the how ever many times its been rebuilt....
