Hey I trying to get some help on parts for 87lxi2.0 I race this at a few south Texas quarter mile oval tracks. Has to be stock motor by rules so any one know or have a cam. Header? Any kind of motor or suspension parts. I race dirtand asphalt. I also am looking for a complete donor car. Of course no meed for interior or glass or those thing. How about a chip or way to eliminate Rev limiter.? Help
Cool. I lived in Corpus Christi for a couple of years. Used to drive my Accord 120 on the county roads between CC and Calallen. That was back when it was only four years old. Driving on flat roads, at sea level with a tailwind makes all the difference!
Right on. I only been here a couple years. So any goodies for the a20a? R u still in corpus
There are a few inexpensive headers out there. There's the OBX that you can buy off of eBay, which is what I'd go with for a race car, and the Pacesetter. For cams, you can call up Delta and have them regrind one for you, or you can give Bisimoto a call.
Do you run with offset suspensions? Camber kits aren't very expensive, and a cheap way you can play with camber and caster up front is with a pair of upper A arms from a second generation Prelude.
Man you guys are awesome I could only find one header and it's expensive. Yes I have Ben cutting and welding suspension pieces which is illegal at most tracks.
I'm a little confused, you said the engine must be stock? Does that just mean internals, or everything attached as well? I have an adjustable cam gear I can sell youlol. I may even have a pacesetter header I will let go.
One piece of advice is don't use the acorn nut lug nuts, most have only a few threads actually holding to the stud by now.
As far as lug nuts I drill out and put half inch studs. The header and cam gear is for a20a. motor must be the motor that came in car. somw dtrack allow headers some dont I am looking for 1. Any ideas how to get rid of rev limiter .
Legend master I am interested in the header and cam gear how much
Not sure why you would want to remove the rev limiter, the engine is not designed to rev any higher. As far as ways to do that, you could convert the FI system to OBD-1 then chip the ECU to remove the rev limiter. You could MAYBE (and this is a big maybe) cut the signal wire from the Tachometer/Distributor to the ECU, but I am not sure what role that would play on the fuel mapping of the ECU.Originally Posted by CHAR POW
Just looked through my stuff, I actually sold the header. Still have the cam gear tho, would like to get $115.00 plus shipping.
probably you could use another intake manifold , there are some better ones than the 87 model and it would appear stock. Do away with all the fast idle crap.
You may be able to find out if you can hardwire in the tps and idle air control without changing ecu, not sure though.
I would not eliminate the rev limiter unless it is cutting out too soon? you want to be able to keep it floored on a dirt track.
Ive seen msd used and painted black then located inconspicuously. The 2nd gen prelude (A20) and these accords,do really well in that class around here.
I would say oversized injectors but with a cam that definatley would risk protest from the sound.
You wanna be able to back off the idle speed the best you can with any mods and at the same time get the most advance as healthy for it. In stock form these cars are detuned a good bit even using stock hardware.

Re: 87 lxi stock car
There is one track where I run out of gear just before entering turn
I set my car up with throttle going in so it is really messing me up. I am running msd stashed and painted. Does that can gear advance or retard valve timing? Would really like to get a header to. Where are you located.? You guys ate the shit man everyone I ask alwasys said throw it away. But I would run with them in there newer cars and they kinda shushes after
I would like to get that gear from you. Mine is a 87 so that is 3 rd Gen?? And what year prelude has suspension I can use?N E anyone got .
Can I make a 3 geez sticker and our on race car or is it against rules. What b series intake bolts up?

I lived in CC from 92-94. I saw 3g's there - and, mind you, they were not very old at the time - that had rusted areas around the trunk lid. Make sure you are diligent about washing the undercarriage, door hinge area, engine compartment, etc. The humidity and constant wind cause the air to carry lots of dirt, sand, and salt particles. On some windy days my car would end up with a sticky film on it. I kept up with the washing so it doesn't have any rusty places now. Of course, I have been back in the Dallas area for the past 18 years. If you use your garage here cars can look good for a very long time. My original paint still shines.
I shouldn't brag about driving that fast. I don't want to encourage anyone to break the law or do anything dangerous. I redline my engine daily and drive like I'm always in a rush. I push it to its handling limits all the time. This beast is about as durable as they come. I have 350,000 miles on it. The way the traffic and gridlock is around here I don't need it to be any faster. It would only get me into trouble. It's plenty fast for the way the chicken-shits around here drive.
I'm pretty sure the gear both advances, and retards the timing. I'm in the DFW area as well. People talk shit about these cars till they drive them, then they fall in love lol.
B16 kinda bolts on, but needs to be modified a little.
Dude your such an inspiration, I wish everybody took care of 3geez like you.
Also check out the performance thread , and I'm sure people would not mind you rocking the 3geez sticker.
Well yes I would like to get that beer from you how do I pay . I bought this car 8 years ago and drove it on the street wide open for 5 of them. change the oil twice mind you that whole time. third time was the day I decided to bust windows and make it a race car. I totally dig the fact that you guys help me out on this. 8 d series intake fits w hat kind of mods are needed
The B16 intake manifold fits but you have to drill new holes.
A good thread about how to use a 88-89 manifold on a 86-87 as well as the B16 would be something to look around for...
If you're running out of gear, try a transmission from a carbed Accord. They have a lower numeric final drive ratio, meaning they have a higher gear. You will lose some acceleration, but you'll make up for it by not having to shift right before a turn.
Once again awesome info. I just found a carbed car I am gonna scoop for a donor. Is there numbers on it I need to check that will cross to tell me what gear it has. Man would love to put the b series LSD in It before I stab it. Well if anyone wanna see the " crapr" in action its ccspeedway.org. past videos. Frontrunners. #9 the go baby go car. Thanks again I gonna keep making this thing quicker everyweek

I found it buried in the FAQ section.

Hope that helps!
This has been addressed in this thread.
it sounds like your running in a road runner/ hornet class run smaller tires if your running out of rpms. adjust the camber on all four tires. really if you get caught running header and cam gears sorry but you probably wont get payed. cam you can get away with a light cam grind if they ask say its running in open loop. shave the head and block. running pulse plugs and race fuel. for now i"ll give you that.
