H22 :d

 

[Da JDM TeAcHeR]

So u would say that will run better than dropping in the d16y8?

 

[oneofakinduserid]

it would cost a lot more, get a d16z6 and call it a day, it'll drop right in if i'm not mistaken, but let some of the other people on this site tell you more, i'm just learning too

 

[Da JDM TeAcHeR]

Thanks alot for the info i was also thinking of going wit the b20a frm the 2nd gen lude which i hear is a easy swap.

there is no motor out there that will drop right in to a 88 accord but one and thats a jdm b20a, all other motors other than the stock 86-89 accord and prelude sohc motors will take 100% custom work to make fit and work in the car.

ah...
<-- learned something today

^ Yep, IMO just drive the car as is, but if your dead set on doing a swap I would sell it and buy something more swappable.

NOTE; dont get the b20a confused with the pos b series that came in the usdm preludes the jdm only b20a was a perty good motor

 

[efhondakid]

My bad I know that one of them sucks, I thought the one you where talking about was it.

 

[AHHVTEC]

naa the one thats a pos is the b21a1 and b20a5

 

[efhondakid]

Got it. Thanks for clearing that up for me mang.

What the best swap for a 88 honda accord dx?

The best swap for an 88 Accord is to swap the entire car out for something that's more tuner-friendly (88-00 Civic, 90-01 Integra, 90-97 Accord, etc.)...

well how will a b20/b21 outa a prelude not bolt in when a jdm b20a will bolt right in a prelude just wanting to know where you are coming from

well how will a b20/b21 outa a prelude not bolt in when a jdm b20a will bolt right in a prelude just wanting to know where you are coming from

because in japon in the 3rd gen they came stock in them over there and its still a different motor than the one in the prelude

 

[97hatch]

ahh well they are both the b20a correct and that would make it confusing when looking for one

 

[AHHVTEC]

no, if its the one im talking about it will just sat b20a the one that sucks will say b20a5

NOTE; dont get the b20a confused with the pos b series that came in the usdm preludes the jdm only b20a was a perty good motor

usdm preludes 88-91 This 3rd gen Will not fit in the 86-89 Accord with out major mod's and lot's of cash

This is a 2nd get JDM B20a that will fit in the 86-89 Accord or 85-87 prelude with minor mod's to the wiring.

 

[AHHVTEC]

yup just what i said
