Even thow I'm putting most of my money in my 2002 Protege5 I would still like to filter some down to my '87 lx-i. It is apparent to me that a swap is too costly and too time consuming so I would like to build up my A20A to it's fullest without NOS. What kind of power can I expect from a A20A ? Who has the highest HP A20A on this board and how much HP you running ?
Stock sucks!

Juan was running a 240hp with NOS set up. ANd Justin is running a turbo and i dont know how much he got. If u got a 86-87 lxi, which u do u got a draw back on two things even in stock.
1. Intake manifold
2. Compression
The compression on a 88-89 lxi was 9.3:1 and the intake manifold was a two stage. Get a 88-89 manifold and ur gainng around 5 hp the least.
and other mods are ur freedom :d let ur mind loose on it.
don't you have the 87 smuf ?
89 efi conversion
17" katana, lude arms, full 2" exhaust/hollowed cat, Ractive intake, centerforce dual friction, msd coil/wires
smufguy, so your saying I can put a '88,'89 intake manifold on my '87 ? is it a dirrect fit ? what about the exaust manifold, leave the same ?
just leave it... or get a header and a cam and then port and polish the head... then get some 10.5:1 pistons and then u will be set

Juan also has a b16a instead of his old a20
oh yeah, thats true. Forgot that starter.
no green, mine is a 89.
lil, the intake manifold is a direct bolt on. if u use the exhaust manifold, u gotta use a different emission control (different vaccum box and ECU) so u will be better off with getting an aftermarket header.
b-series performance manifolds fit w/ some drilling. higher cost, and more prep for installation, but much better performance and room to expand since the aftermarket is better.

Has anyone here put on the BSeries manifold?
Performance Modz: Short Ram Air Intake, Custom Exhaust w/o Cat & Resonator, Cherry Bomb Turbo Muffler, Accel Coil, Removed AC
Other Modz: Clear Blinkers, Purple Calipers, Accord Emblem On Dash, Winking Headlights
It all depends on how much $$ you want to spend.
'88 LX-i Coupe --- LS/Vtec
'08 Accord EX-L 6-6 --- Daily Duty
I have the jdm manifold. It made a big difference in power but I cut it in half ported it and welded it back together. I also have an rc throttle body and injectors that made a little difference also!
ya i was thinkin about playin around and building up my a20 aswell..
if you go all out...
you could be in the neighbourhood of 160-180HP
R.I.P Spoon Se-i 01/17/04
if you go all out you could be well over 300 hp
