The JDM B20A 2g Thread w/ Pics!!

[3GCVC]

EFI ftw the JDM ES was injected so why not the B20A as well. i sure hope i put the conversion harness in, its like 5 wires to hookup and put a fuel pump in and away it goes so how could you not do it efi

i can see some damage on teh box, i want to know how many legs the box has still on the bottom so turn it over when your done and get some pics

[2oodoor]

lol i didnt sopend over an hour making a standalone efi loom for nothing, if he carbs it i want the ecu and loom back

that was cool, I would agree not to chunk any of it but he needs a tank from an efi 2nd gen which there were not too many of those around were they?
I guess we don't have an example of a carbed b20 documented yet, Im feeling motivated yes.

[2ndGenGuy]

Nah I'd just get an inline EFI pump from a 2g Prelude. The 2gee has no in tank pump, it's right under the left side of the car like a VW Rabbit.

Kickass! Finally got online after over a week!

There should be an engine, busted bellhousing, ECU and maybe an intermediate shaft in there for me!

[79cord]

Congratulations.
I vote Factory EFI for nostalgic JDM & factory subtlety. But agree other options have their temptations too...

LOL I still haven't polished & boxed up that other pair of '85 indicators for you either to try posting !... But as a bonus the US econonmic termoil has pushed the value of the Australian $ down !?!

[2ndGenGuy]

Yeah, it's a tough choice for sure!

So that means because the AUD went down that shipping for me should be cheaper? LOL. Well I do have a set now, so maybe if another member wants them they should get dibs. But if not, I definitely will be down for a spare set!! Lots of gravel trucks this time of year just looking to crack your beautiful new Stanley glass housings.

BTW, those housings and sidemarkers I got look amazing! They look brand new! Good work snagging those for me, Alex or Aaron or whoever snagged it.

Perhaps you will be making a couple of those now since you have an example to go by?

[AccordB20A]

forrests post sounds soo sarcaastic. lol he might be teh jelous.

I didnt have any half shafts there so i didnt send one, i have an auto one now tho after doing an auto tyo manual swap, its just too late to install it in the bocks.

John should make suire the motors turn over, and mike when you get your B20A i would suggest removing the sump, cleaning it and putting it back on with a new gasket/sealer of some sort.

Haha! I need to kick the old man offa the HAAS mill so I can start making space shuttle parts (and bellhousings!)

Ahhaaa! You should find him a JDM 350 for his truck. Maybe they made more HP than the JDM B20A did stock. USDM ones didn't!

I have a B20A5 shaft, which I'm sure is for an auto. How do you tell the difference again? Except the bracket is unreal different than the B20A was, not even much of a starting point really.

Is it teh buggered? Just leaky? or some sort of problem down there?

[2ndGenGuy]

Moar pics!

I froze my ass off tonight pulling the B20A transmission in the dark for SnoopyLoopy. Didn't realize just how much shit was in that crate. Tons of newspaper 'n shit. I think I've finally seen everything in it!!! Lots of fun bits. There are some tails for a 2.5g hatch... Unfortunately not for my car lol! Found the ER turbo bits, but no valve cover But I did get two ER turbo manifolds which was unexpected and FTW! My camera batteries died so I only got what I could of the pics!!









Fuck now I see where I left my flashlight. Inside the damn box. Oh well, I'll get it later. :-x

EDIT: Alex just let me know that the ER valve cover is in one of the cardboard boxes. I have yet to open them all, it's like Christmas yay!!!!!!!!

[3GCVC]

oh and actually i think those 2.5g smoked tails are for you i found them somewhere so i chucked them in for you.

[AccordB20A]

just want to make sure your motor wont be a dud when you get it going. it was siting under a tarp with no intake for a bit. it leaks oil yes its covered in it thats why some sealer will be good. and i have no idea what muck gunk and water will be sitting in the bottom of the sump

[Placebo]

Any of you guys have any experience with 3m's scotchguard film? I've heard awesome things about it. You made me think of it with that gravel truck comment. I wonder if that stuff would help.

[84Accord]

JOHN!!! you said 2.5g tails?!?!?! i want em! my left one is cracked. how much do you want for em?

[bullard123]

Hey 2ndgenguy you should check out all of those water pumps on your B20A's. I know mine was rusted out pretty bad and so was Roodoo's. If you need some let me know. I have some for sale. Brand New

[AccordB20A]

yeah i also agree that both you and mike should obtain new water pumps

[Ichiban]

how bout oil pumps and timing belts?

[A18A]

i've only ever known of 1 b20a oil pump failure out of every b20a ive seen, so i'd think you would be safe there

[AccordB20A]

you know of an oil pump that failed
?! thats news to me i havent lol.

i would service the engines before using them. motors that sit tend to fail their serviceable parts

[2ndGenGuy]

Fuck it, I'm going to get it mounted up and working first. Then I'll pull it and service it.

[AccordB20A]

mean i cant wait till work on this starts
