88 accord lx-i swap

[stat1K]

if no swap what should i do with my 88 accord i was thinking about total tune-up redo all gaskets and all fluids im ot sure what else to do to it doesnt feel like its reaching its potential and when i give it gas it just rvs like im holding the clutch but im not then its starts to go any suggestions?

replace your clutch. standard maintenance on this car after 20 years of neglect is probably something you wanna do quick, i'm assuming it's 20 years of neglect because even if a car is old lady driven things like, bushings, ball joints, gaskets, hoses, belts, all that shit gets neglected. it may have had oil changes and greasings but probably not any major work like that, usually that's why people get rid of the cars, a mechanic tells them what they should do and they say woah fuck that i'll sell it for 600 and buy a different car to neglect.

might not be much of a gain but spark plugs wires clean the engine make sure to do oil change every 3 months or 3000 miles and mantain a clean engine and the rest man you will have to look up cause we can only help only if you need it just search it man like performance parts on the forum and you'll learn something and if you cant find it or figure it out ask the members for advice im sure they all had problems down the road and should be able to help you on that i only know fuel problems for now since i keep my car on check and on spoiled lol

[resendez]

[Tomisimo]

stat1k has a point there ^^
But on the other hand, noobs that are only starters like this guy, ok, someone need to preach hem right stuff to start with, not some slam to the ground shit and shake your nuts off shit.. The guy is passionate about hes car and actually first he wanted is better engine, not what body kit and what coil overs fit.. for me it says it all..

what that he doesn't like our slow ass A20's

J/k..


ROFL..

No personally I'm glad people ask these questions, because it gives me a chance to learn something I wouldn't have asked about. *even though I did do a question similar to this one.* most of the time its cause people like him or myself don't know much about cars to begin with and don't know all the little details.

Like I knew I was going to have to put in a new tranny, but didn't know I would have to do axels, mounts, and a bunch of other things. :P

since 1986 LOL.

1985..

Someone has a little grit in the ol Vagina!!!!!!!!!!!

I was actually rather disturbed by comment #42.

LOL seriously ? you need to watch more fucked up porn and visit 4chan more often my friend

think of me as the professor everyone hates because he doesn't hand out the answers he makes you look and hurts your poor delicate psyche's while doing so.

[resendez]

so guise wat are some more suggestions would it be a good idea to take out my motor and redo all gaskets and seals and then turbo it or is the turbo pointless and some one told me that if i did not do a re build that i wouldnt beable to go over 5 psi is this true im looking for wat ever help i can get i appreciate every thing guise theres nothing like a dude and his honda so im totally serious about this.

[resendez]

wat do i search i typed my car in my yer and swaps and performance wats the best key word ima try turbo next

[ShyBoyCA6]

nah dont worry about man dont look for turbo if you aint got the money for it

[resendez]

how much would that run me bro

[resendez]

i want to get all the info for this summer thats y im posting now you no. get a head start so i no wat im looking for and try to get an idea for my car thats wat im looking for ideas

[hammer3rd]

Hey resendes check this out. https://www.3geez.com/forum/showthrea...highlight=h22a. A very long thread read it all a lot of info and a very very fast car,very fast

[ShyBoyCA6]

now that i cant say since i dont have turbo lol well not yet

[Nio]

nah dont worry about man dont look for turbo if you aint got the money for it

I 100% agree, I want to turbo my car, but I have a whole lot of other hurdles I have to jump first.

gotten over quite a few thanks to some of the nice people here.

like shyboy

[ShyBoyCA6]

thanks nio and one more thing i think i read it on nio's thread that "your always gonna be missing something when doing a build" or something and its true you always gonna miss some parts do the simple things for now slap on an intake and do a good tune and your car would run better just taking care of the engine is what makes a healthy engine haha

[Tomisimo]

Alright let me brake it down for you..

You see, you want to have more power, ok so the swap isnt that easy just torbo it right? make it faster, sure, make it sound good, nice.. but then, do your chassis will take it? That much power have to go somewhere..
I say for every mood you make you need counter mood as well.
More power- need better brakes
Faster- needs better suspension

I say, play safe and dont kill your self, or all girls will miss a guy, we are already 8 guys to 10 girls so..

[resendez]

makes scenes tomisimo how do i get that power tho?

[ShyBoyCA6]

makes scenes tomisimo how do i get that power tho?

its turbo power to do all that

[Nio]

its turbo power to do all that

After fixing the car and getting her running right *even though it was lik 10-15 minutes*, >.> she felt so much faster then my 03 civic did, especially 0-30, so I actually don't think I'm quite ready for a turbo anyways.

trust me get your car running fine, and notice the power difference, then do some other work..the turbo is a bit much right off the bat.

>.< but boy can I taste it coming.

[Tomisimo]

to get a proper powerband out of any engine is to use precession parts.. if you want ho have more than 250Hp to the wheels and up, 200Hp is easy with low pressure turbo @8/10psi any higher and you have to rebuild with forged pistons and rods.
Still if you want to turbo your car, you better of with a complete rebuild of your engine, new bearings, hone cylinder holes, new pistons and rings, all new seals, rather head port, as our heads do have small ports to begin with..
then brake the engine in, and after 5k mils you can turbo it. Run simple stand alone management or convert to OBD1 (On Board Diagnostics v.1) what we on A20a3 is OBD0, not tunable for the most part.

I try to keep it simple for you, there is more to it, but details will come eventually when you do your own reading.

[Tomisimo]

here is some literature Maximum Boost by Corky Bell Download this .pdf book and read it from cover to cover. The best book there is on how do boost works and how to build an reliable engine with boost.
