88 accord lx-i swap

[2drSE-i]

ohemgee the VTEC conversation is complete fail...

The 88-89 accords had a dual stage intake manifold. Its not VTEC or anything of the sort. At a certain RPM the secondary butterflys in the intake manifold open up, providing more air to the engine.

VTEC, on the other hand, provides a different cam lobe, altering how and when the valves inside the motor open and close, providing more aggressive (read: more power) air flow in/out of the motor.

You really can't even compare the two. What stephen said is spot on.

nah dog, his car was converted to VTECH (with an h).

it's different...

No newb bashing here. More like 3geez "Vet" bashing. Who cares how many posts you have, when you say things like "Its kinda like vtec"....LOL

[resendez]

a buddy of mine said buy bigger springs and cut those so it still holds the weight but u dont bounce so if u cut the small ones we have it will lower it but not as strong of springs and ya i love my honda it does pretty good not compared to a vtec but still holds up my friends b20 i think witha k series trans not sure blows me away his vtec kills me

[LX-incredible]

Dude, I wonder if a 6-speed k trans will bolt up to the A20 like it does to the b20...

[resendez]

i was just talking about that today in auto i think a k series will link to an a series

[Tomisimo]

the K series trany is hydro and cable shift thing.. dont make fool of yourself now.
It sure will, with some addapting and welding.. Kswap would be easier, I'm assure you.

[resendez]

k series engine swap?

[stat1K]

oh lord.

Whee! 6 gears of reverse and one drive!

When did you become a mod?

[LX-incredible]

k series engine swap?

Buy the motor and trans and I'll come up and fabricate the mounts and wiring harness for you.

[resendez]

lx incredible u would be down to help me out

[Tomisimo]

Whee! 6 gears of reverse and one drive!

When did you become a mod?

why? is K have different rotation? than A?

I been a mod as long as Project Central was up and running. Did you not noticed that?

[LX-incredible]

lx incredible u would be down to help me out

Yeah dude, you get the motor and trans and I'll help install. I will of course need to make a copy of whatever harness and mounts we use.

[resendez]

can u only do k series or can u do other mounts and stuff im trying to get my hands on an f22 and put an h vtec head make it a g is that right?

[LX-incredible]

why? is K have different rotation? than A?

I been a mod as long as Project Central was up and running. Did you not noticed that?

Yeah, the rotation is different since the trans is mounted on the opposite side.

Oh, okay, forgot about that. Congrats!

[ShyBoyCA6]

f22 sucks go with the F20b son you talking mad power like the h22 maybe even a bit more

[Tomisimo]

Yeah, the rotation is different since the trans is mounted on the opposite side.

Yes I forgot about that, its on drivers side now with those new engines. indeed.

He said he will help with K swap, this is exiting exercise. I bet the TSX K24 is not that hard to find or K20 RSX.

[resendez]

f20 is better than f22

[Tomisimo]

F20b is better than F22a yes.

F20b was an experimental engine for S2000, it was prototyped to see all cooling an oil journals was right.. this is why its stays upright, alltho its basically a destroked H22a, and was used only in Honda Torneo models.. its rated with 200Hp if manual and 190 if auto..
But its not easy find, you need to import the engine..

[ShyBoyCA6]

yeah i posted a thread on that engine with all the specs and what not that engine has 197hp close to the h22 but the f20 has a blue top doch vetc so you can say they are like the same but different set up

heres the thread

[Tomisimo]

I did some reading on this engine some time ago, and some people say that note it makes is so special, and muckh lighter rewing than H22. in some applications with right tune its sharper trotle response and feels quicker. I think it would have been nice swap, uniq and great power output as well.

[stat1K]

lol this thread just keeps getting better and better.

my favorite quote ever i believe was said here, can't remember who said it.

someone says, "i want to put an mr2 motor in my honda."

to which someone replies, "why? so you can have 1 forward gear and 5 really fast reverse gears? .... like french tanks?"
