    johnny O would have the fastest but it's a drag car, he was in the 10's with the a20 block, now he's running the h22 ,he pretty much has it locked up.

    and as for street cars, I think Dennis takes that trophy with a fully street legal, full interior hatch with a boosted A20. Wasn't he somewhere near 300hp at the wheels?

    I was around the 300WHP mark on a JDM B20A but no dyno to back it up as of yet.

    There are a few accords floating around with decent power! I can't remember if Justin Ballou ever dynoed his but i would guess he was in the 300whp range with his setup.

    do some searching on the turbo setups. for those who tell you these suck,they are built a lot stronger then a lot of newer honda stuff. also no replacment for displacement, these were the biggest motors until the v6 came out. they used to be a popular swap into 1st and second gen civics. would make a hell of a fast car. I remember there was a company in Atlanta that used to make an entire swap kit to drop a FI a20 into an 81-83 civic, mounts,wiring harnesses, exaust components,entire deal. those were the good old days.

    Re: fastest 3g?

    yes, 3Gee FTW. A20 is a strong powerplant, first of all its a steel block so it can handle some torque, and with decent high CR pistons and rods, and a great turbo hybrid T3/T4 compressor, you up in 300Hp range. Stand alone or OBD1 is best, but it all finish touches and you have a sleeper.

    Its prttey fnuny how you can raed tihs eintre snetnece with all tehse ellters out of palce...

    that is exactly why i gave my 91 civic to my parrents... fucking a everybody has done the same thing on it a million times so it then becomes boring..anything you do to it someone else will have already done it before multiple times.

    and i wish i could find an a20a swap kit for my 81 my a20a block is getting sad sitting in the shed

    High CR? Thought you wanted a LOW Compression ratio.

    Re: fastest 3g?

    Why you want low compression pistons? with original CR 9.5:1 on A20a4 engine is 122Hp. on A20a3 is 8.5:1 CR and its 112Hp. with 11.5/12:1 CR you'll get maybe 135Hp from stock engine. and not least High CR pistons means Custom forged pistons..

    Re: fastest 3g?

    that's the age-old question when you're talking about boosting. Many (ok, most) boosted setups use lower c/r because the tolerances are greater and there's less potential for the big bang when you spin the thing to 7.5K or more. The lower c/r pistons are offset by the power generated from the turbo. ...but yeah, higher c/r base with boost will net more raw power, and more power under boost, but you have to be more careful with your a/f ratio and how high you spin it, otherwise... ...well you know.
