Lude guy reaching out to accord brothers

[2ndgensi]

So i recently picked up a JDM B20A for my 2nd gen honda prelude and i have started a thread with a lot of pictures and unanswered questions about parts and information about this swap. My prelude is a 1986 Special Edition from Canada. Here is my thread at prelude power if anyone is curious
http://www.preludepower.com/forums/s...=334467&page=2

My main questions are:

Can i use any of the parts listed below from a 3g accord or prelude Canadian Model to swap over on my JDM B20A?

Dizzy that is electronically advanced?

Crank pulley?

Timing belt?

Water pump?

Wiring harness?

ECU?

Also what is the easiest way to get axles that work for my JDM tranny and Canadian hubs? Like how do i make it work?

P.S. Someone from here said that i can use a 3g prelude ECU and a dizzy ? Is this true can someone say for sure on this?

Thanks guys -

Anyone?

not sure about the crank pulley, maybe (from a 3g prelude)

timing belt go here https://www.3geez.com/forum/showthread.php?t=58276 or read this to use a different method https://www.3geez.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5907

water pump is the same as a B20A3

wiring, use your a20 harness and mod it for your b20a https://www.3geez.com/forum/showthread.php?t=31622

axles, you 'should' be able to use your stock passenger one (with the inner cv joint from the b20a) and get another passenger side one for your drivers side (using the inner b20a cv joint again)

Holly you guys know your stuff around here. I have taken the time to read through all previous threads and from what i can tell there is much that can be done to manipulate parts and wiring to make this swap work. Unfortionitly half the stuff in these threads go far over my head for i really only work on vehicles moderately. A18A, carotman and yk86 you guys sure know your shit, there is also another guy on prelude power who is a really awesome source of information. Grr.. Just sux that this has to be a more advanced swap because i have never done a swap before and am seriously having my doubts weather i am going to be able to do this.

[2oodoor]

Anyone?

wait for Carotman to reply, he has a good assembly of interchage info...

You may have to reiterate what it is you are trying to do though, I got confused reading the first post.

[2ndgensi]

Yep and to answer some of your questions yes the ECU-PK2 from 88-91 U.S.Si preludes work. They are exactly the same as the JDM Ecu's. And yes the dizzy works from the U.S prelude as well.Thats what Im running in my B20A. And like Matt said you will need two passenger side axles and the JDM intermediate shaft for it to work. Info located here

You will probaby need the external igniter from the U.S. 3rd gen prelude as well. Take your time and ask questions, these swaps can be a pain but well worth it in the end
