My 1988 Honda Accord Lxi, Still Under Consruction

[speedpenguin]

No suggestions, but damn you've got a nicely modded car.

You guys are making me miss my old 3G. I want another one now.

[MessyHonda]

the neddles just pop up

[1988HondaLXIAccord]

Thanks speedpenguin, and that is how i broke the tach needle, i tried to pop it from the very bottom and the base split. This is what i really want to do to the gauge cluster.

Here is some pic of my upper rear strut bar

[Joay]

What kind of tie bars are those?

[1988HondaLXIAccord]

Megan Racing, they are from a 4th gen accord but with a little modification to fit mine, i am in the process of making high nuts for the front strut bar so that it will clear the intake

[Joay]

Awesome what needs to be modified to get them to fit?

[1988HondaLXIAccord]

The rear lower needs part of the jack hump cut out, the upper rear strut bar just needs the arms to be cut and repositioned and welded, and the front is the hardest cause you have to make spacers or do the top hat mod to clear the intake and then drill one hole on one arm, and then cut and reposition the other arm to fit

[1988HondaLXIAccord]

OK i know you can modify a b16/b18 intake to fit the a20a3's, do you think it would be possible to do it with these, they are for the b16/b18 motors.

[Joay]

Looks like they'll hit the firewall. The flange is the hard part though, you can always modify the runners.

[1988HondaLXIAccord]

true the reason i asked is cause my wife said that if it will work i can get them, sucks that she has my money though :P

[chillphillyphil]

bad ass looking intake - no dimensions on the website??

[1988HondaLXIAccord]

Hey quick question guys, i have a MSD 6400 box, what and were does the green and purple wires go and connect to, this is my first one, so please help, Thanks

And Thanks chillphillyphil

no idea on the MSD, but I can tell you that the ITB's will work (as long as you have clearance, which should not be an issue). I've been holding out for a while on bringing these up, but since you did, I guess it's already out there.

Unlike the DCOE setup (carb) you don't have to worry too much about the angle of the runners, ITB's, so you honestly can just do the very slight modification to the flange (Drill two additional holes, and egg out one more), and you can cut off the water nipple too, or just leave it as long as it doesn't get in the way (and it should not be in the way). To be perfectly honest, this will be equally as easy to install on a 3G as it is on a Civic/Teg.

I would take the chance to convert to OBD1 while you're at it too. Please do this, because I'm dying to see what sort of power gains you get off this, and other than 'justanothermike' who did this some 7+ years ago, you'll be the only other one to have ITB's in their 3G. Do it up man.

[1988HondaLXIAccord]

My plans for the motor is to get rid of the vaccum box, do an obd-1 setup, do my ignition, the itb's, do a port and polish and port match the head the intake and exhaust, bore the motor .20 over, and find someone that make flat top pistons. I have my suspension almost done all i am missing is coilovers and my ST sway bars, so i am starting on the motor next, then the body

Check my thread in the suspension section, i got a simi how to on the rear bar. And i was gonna do the front but lost interest lol.


but Very nice looking mods man.
You deff are gonna surprise ppl on the street.

[1988HondaLXIAccord]

Hey thanks guys, to be honest i did not know what the hell I was doing before i found this website, you guys have helped my a lot.

[1988HondaLXIAccord]

Ow and does anybody know someone that that can tell me what the green and purple wires of my Msd Box get hooked up to, i know they go to the igniter inside the distributor, but the is four wire 2 blue, black/yellow, and a green

[Strugglebucket]

The green and purple don't do anything. But you can hook up a switch to jump them together and disable the ignition.

[1988HondaLXIAccord]

Thank You Guys
