would it be possible to run a v-tec head on my car?
no ^^
maybe, but I think it will be less expensive to just swap a vtec engine..

right which is what you will notice if you try to order the parts.Originally Posted by Tomisimo
CAH, stop whoring threads..
Dont forget, Honda engines are abit special when it comes to crank bearings, there is a number on crankshaft, that tells you main bearing Journal clearance, so thats the only thing you cant buy in advance, it have to be ordered after you have seen numbers, usually Honda auto parts site covers that aspect, you can choose right size for each and everyone of them.

where did maybe come from?

how expensive?
haha.. you know cosworth takes a regular SIH engine and give it a 16V top, or Mercedes 2.3l SOCH, they gave it a 16V top, or better still, 2.5 diesel was converted to be a petrol and 16V engine..
Maybe is yes, anything possible if you have enough money.. but then again, like I said, the swap will be alot cheaper in the end..

yeah i knew what you meant but again if someone's asking about what motor can i put in my car you and i both know that won't happen.
how expensive is what resendez? a swap?
it depends on what you want to do...
basic LS or B20 swap:
b20b/b18b1/a1 - 300-800 local (especially for you)
mounts - 300-350
axles 50-350 (depends on whether you rebuild your own with the right parts or buy some made for the application)
shift linkage - 10-100 (same deal, no one makes one but you can find someone to do it for you, all you have to do is cut and weld, shift linkage at the junkyard on 27ave and buckeye costs 19.05 or 10 on half off days.)
wiring - this is the part that costs the most more than likely, if you are not comfortable get someone else to do it. it's really not a huge change but i would suggest getting the obd1 conversion harness from lx-incredible and a jumper harness that way the ls motor is plug and play as obd1. his prices vary and he would need exact measurements to sensors and such so this would be a final step. definitely for his work you're going to be paying over 300... but everything will look factory and will work, if it doesn't he'll fix it. good thing is he is in tucson so if he needed to come up and look he could, but he doesn't work for free.
hoses, coolant, oil, bolts, nuts, gaskets, washers, etc... factor in another 200.
high end of an ls/b20 swap would be at or around 2k, low end would be around 900 if you did everything your self including wiring, which i would do myself but i was taught to do things properly by lx-incredible, before him my wiring was HORRID, since i've done quite a few harnesses on my own and they still don't look as good as his.
as for any other swap just substitute the price of the motor to figure out the rest... b16 would add about 400 to the high end of the motor price if you bought locally, more if you buy from hmotorsonline.com, good thing about hmotors is they're in LA so if you really wanted a motor you could go get it in about a day. gas would be more than shipping probably if you took a truck, but we've fit motors in the accord trunk before.

Well there you have it rezendez.. there is not much to tell about this subject. I think that stat1K did a good jub making it clear for you..
My advice to you is, stop asking questions and do some work, read, research, learn from other threads.
And he is right, if you ask it will most likely not be done. its just how it is. After 4 years on this forum I've seen them all here, even been there my self but not that ambitious as you are.. but thats cool tho.
anyhow, keep us posted and updated on everything you do with your car..

left my car on hold i had some set backs ticket and my clutch went out so that set me back but i want to get back on it. ive searched and searched nothing has really caught my eye yet still not sure wat to do about my car now that i realize the cost and work of a swap prolly not gunna do that. i just want some more ideas i dont want to get burnt on tho so if u can and want to help me out cool if not thats cool ill just wait and see what happends
some guy before me had the car in a tuner shop i think he had some internals done to it not sure every since i replaced my clutch i ben playing with my car and it hits how could i check.
yeah only there are only custom made internals for the car, so my guess is he didn't.

i thought it was impossible to have a vtech a20a3 but ya like ill ride it then wen i get to 4g i hit it and it hits like it pulls pretty damn good. every one says a20a3 have no power and wat not but i roast 1st down the street then chirp pretty good going to second. and wen i was researching yesterday using the search button (i learned my lesson) i found some thing not sure if its for the a20 but is it true after like 4.5g the vacum opens another set of butter flys in the intake and that gives u power to red line with out loosing powerband just curious
ya shyboy im not giving up im still down for my car i still wanna ride bro. we wanna start a single cam crew and smash on dohc wen they laugh at our single cam. i got plans for my car trying to do them one at a time i just got fired so its kinda hard but not giving up.
does the a20a3 efi have fuel cutt off if it does how does it work does it completely shut ur car off or does it kick back in before it dies because i was trying to roast well i did but i roasted to 7g then it went down and i hit it again with out using clutch just gave it gas and it started burning again i was impressed by my car cuz all the bad rap on it. people always give me shit cuz its the most undesired honda out there thats y i want to make it a beast not just a swap i wanna do the hard stuff like custom the a20a3 and smash im so down for this
yeah and you get the 120 hp at 5500rpm you get like a lil kik to it haha and it sucks i cant even get that on mine still trying to figure out what i have....
There you go, you have a Interest for it, make it happen
About the fuel cutoff, when lets say you drive downhill, you let your foot off the accelerator pedal, car stays in gear and just rolling down. at that point ECU shuts down fuel. Engine is running on inertia (its also referred to as Engine braking).

so the butterfly thing is true for a20a3's
so after a cretain amount of rpm's the fuel doesnt shut off
when i was reading about it some one reffered to it as pre vtec but every one says a20a3 is no good and has nothing to do with vtec or any performance technology so im not sure if its entirely true or not
you cant put vtec in a a20a3 but theres a thread on the b20vtec build
if you wanna swap it
naw not really looking to swap costs to much $$$ i would love t0 if i had the funds
