First off what are your plans besides looks?
200+ ALL MOTOR LS VTEC
Considering 3Geez are extinct around here besides feilds and junkyards, i plan to show them what they are missing. there are a few 4th Gens around but no one thinks the 3Geez have potential, i want to get my car fixed up and looking good and then drop a B20a1 in it.Originally Posted by Rendon LX-i
It would be nice to make this like some of your cars which its already a working progress the interrior looks mint its all black and blue, the only dammage is a small rip in my shifting glove. but im taking sugestions to any ideas on paint color, or performance parts, sterio, lights, body kits ect. I want this too look good and you guys know your stuff, so any help would be great.

Well you should start with the simple stuff like i did years ago....Intake if your fuel injected...get a CAI from a 94 accord may need some hacking lol. Good tuned up, fix anything that is broken or not working right in the engine bay. Get some nice set of wheels and if your brave lower it but the RIGHT WAY. NO just springs....If you just want the swap go do that first and work your way to the other projects later....Theres so much to do to these cars just read up on the forum....I got alot done and the sad thing is im not even close to finished with my accord Lol...

My car has been lowered almost 2 inches but i cut the springs.... and yeah i do need an intake. Thanks for the info I'll take a look at the engine bay here soon with my mechanic.

Are you currently Carb'd or injected?
You could make your own CAI like some of us have done on here. It's really easy to do, heres the link https://www.3geez.com/forum/showthread.php?t=166
Im carb....

how many coils did you cut off the springs to lower it 2 inches? any pics?
im not shure how many i cut off as me and my uncle do all the work together, but i will be taking pics from now on, ill have around $11,000 this year to put into it so it should be a nice project, you guys will be pleased. and thank the military for supplying me with the money to do so.

200+ ALL MOTOR LS VTEC
I wanna get a B20a1 before i turbo it, and wouldn't i have to build my own turbo? thats alot of work... is there any turbo's i can mix match to make it fit? And yeah im gonna convert to fuel injected. Whats the best way to do this?

ha i know that feeling..ppl sayin my car looks is ass and what not but i just look at them and say, what? my car is shit because i have no paint? ha just wait till first of the year, or pull up beside me at a light.. and tell me what my car is like
one day I'll return.
ya i would suggest sticking with the a20a3 there a lil more available then the jdm b20a and a whole lot cheaper of you fuck it up with a turbo
But i heard the A20a3 has issues.... but yeah i might give it a try
Anyone know where i can buy or order the feul injection so i can get rid of my carbed?
also ran into a problem today, the bolts on my grill were rusty and i snapped all of the heads off trying to replace them... any ideas?

you snapped all the bolts? or just a few? it should be alright just holding on by 3 or so bolts
you can get everything you need for a efi swap at a juinkyard, mainly you need the efi loom, fuel tank & pump, and the fuel feed line. and of course the intake manifold and efi stuff there
i snapped every one, after i dumped a full can of WD40 on it haha

Today I bought some degreaser and ordered some yellow plugs. I plan to clean up under the hood once its feul injected.... still looking.
I would also like to find a new engine cover with a screw down honda emblum so I can paint it blue to match the second half of my interrior.

I have decided to stick with the A20a3 just seems easier, but im gonna get a tune up and clean out under the hood with some degreaser and make it look clean. Anyone know where i can buy a new engine cover with a screw down honda emblum instead of this sticker?
