why? why go tru so much trouble just to get an engine? you can drive to sweden and get one for way less than it can be. Plus you'll get wiring and maybe som more along with everything. Love sweedish JY

If I'd have any extra money to spend I'd go and pick up this. Should have all parts, and he's just asking 300 € for it. Nice thing about Finnish B20A's is that they don't have the emissions stuff.
Ouh.. GET IT!! this looks just nice, and you will have something to do this winter.
edit: I'm planing This along with OBD1.

Lol, I'm not planning to drive all the way to Sweden for an engine. That's just too much, don't have the time for that.
But hell these engines are cheap in the north!
Damn, get those ITBs done before our meet!Originally Posted by Tomisimo
If I had somewhere to work on it, I probably wouldn't think too long about it. But I'm not likely to get much done on it once it gets covered in snow sitting in the yard. It would be a pretty nice deal tho, might have to reconsider it.
As for my car, I've been saying I'll get it lower next summer for a couple years now... maybe if thegreatdane wants to sell me his front set of konis I can pick them up on the way and make it happen.
And then there's the JDM ecu/ignition swap I've been meaning to do, but I'm not feeling too confident about my abilities with the wireing. If I get that done tho, I'm pretty much only a conversion harness away from obd1.
And yea, do the ITBs
Very good going) I agree, and last time where all participants gathered
i dont think the aerodecks ever came with a b20a option from factory
1989 Honda Accord LX-i
B18c1 swap since 7/2011
175whp and 132tq
Redzone tuned
They did in Japan I think, but if it was EDM it was probably a swap.
never seen one besides fushi who swaped out his

I'm pretty sure there is (or has been) a bunch B20A swaps in both sedans and aerodecks around Europe none of us know about.
That's true, but the guy who owned that car (I guess it's sold now cause it's not on the internet anymore) swapped the B20a in...
I'd be interested in joining the meet, since I will be missing the US Meet in July cause my wife wants to vacation in Ireland for our anniversary. Only 2 problems I see.
1) From Ireland to Nürburgring is 1200km. GoogleMap figures it'll take 14 hours to drive. This problem might not be so bad if I take a couple extra days off.
2) I won't be in my 3gee.
But, to have the possibility to be the only American at the European meet, that might just make it worth it.
1986 Accord LXi 3-door
1968 Chevy C20
That'd be cool
It might actually be worth it to fly over instead of driving, I know it would be cheaper for me. And it would go a lot quicker.
Yeah, but with driving, my wife can say she saw more of Europe than "Just a cottage in a small Irish village". Mind you, she's never really been more than 200 miles from her home, either.

Put the B20 in the overhead compartment on the way home.That'd be cool

Haha, no I'll be driving.
The more people on the meet the more fun!
You'd better!
hope you guys pull this off as it would be a great location

The wife likes the idea of driving across the European countryside and is all for the meet on 1 condition.
The meet can't interfere with Top Gear, provided I can manage to get studio audience tickets for Top Gear.
I told her we have to get a sporty rental. I'm not making a lap at Nürburgring....or driving on the Autobaun (which I plan on doing since I'll be in Germany) in some lame underpowered hatchback........If only I could find a place that had a 3gee to rent out, lol.

wait....what?
Anyways, even though there is no chance of me being there, it would be really cool to see this come together!
Hope we will pull it of!
1200km is less than 1400km for me to drive down there, so you better show up man
I'f you want to take a 3G with you, I bet it would be cheaper to buy one than rent a sporty car with unlimited mileage. Just tossing ideas.

Hehe, I was going to suggest he'd buy a 3g to get there with too
Yeah, I could probably buy one.....but then I'd either have to sell it after driving it a couple days, or ship it the the US....which would cost more than I paid for the car, lol.
How cheap do they tend to cost in Europe, anyways?
