    Cable to VSS-help?

    Car-1987 Accord DX A20a1-A/T ~150k Alrighty, I have finally had enough of the stupid cable speedo jumping around on me. I have made my mind up that I want new gauges, for now and when I do my b16/18 swap. I need to know what kinda of VSS (from what make,model, and year) that I need to fit into...

    I need some help...Video of problem

    Yeah, I worked in a John Deere shop a while back, so I would think I would know a thing or two about carbs, but no. My rebuild kit will be here tomorrow, and the ignition system will come in several shipments over the next couple of days. Thanks for the input too. I will keep everyone updated.

    I need some help...Video of problem

    Hello, I made a 5 min video of the accord. It seems to want to stall out within seconds after a warm start. This is a cold start so naturally, the engine will stay on. I have the ignition system (coil, rotor, plugs, wires, etc.), a carb overhaul kit, fuel filter, fuel filler neck, and other...

    A20a-can it be done?

    Do you have anymore info on where to find a conversion kit? At RenegadeHybrids, all I found was putting a SBC INTO a porsche....Or should I keep my eyes out for a Porsche 914 transaxle?

    A20a-can it be done?

    okay, cool. I've figured a CSB 350 will do. I went to one yard today and they had one out of a '77 suburban. Only 1 transmission to match the engine. I am still looking. I'm not looking for it to be "street legal" as it will most likely be towed to the strip. I am wondering if I should look for...

    A20a-can it be done?

    OKay, so after looking at the junkyards websites around here, there are plenty of 'b' series motors. Then, my dad and I were talking and he asked me what I wanted to do with the car. I told him I want to make it into a 1/4 mile racer. So after some more talking, we came across an idea for a...

    Honda Element SC looks tempting

    I have an '03 EX-5spd. It has a K24 as someone stated. I also get around 22-24 mpg average, but thats probably due to the bull bar on the front, I could possibly pull off 26 without it.

    A20a-can it be done?

    Honda Acura Parts He only wants 30 bucks for it, so I'm assuming there is not a crankshaft. There are plenty of junk yards in NoVA, but you are certainly right about used parts. They are extremely hard to come by, even a Chevy 350SB out of a old Suburban costs about 1k...... :/

    honda accord jerking and loss of power

    Check all your electrical connections. I pulled a connection on my '03 element while cleaning the engine and it threw codes for the TPS. Also, might be a good idea to put some WD-40 or some of that connector grease on them too, even if it's not the problem. It could just be a loose connection...

    A20a-can it be done?

    Okay, after closer review, the b18b is a bare block. Nothing with it. I think this would be great for a build from the inside out. Yes? That way I know what is inside and that it will perform up to spec. More questions, pending I do get this block...what brands should I look for in pistons...

    A20a-can it be done?

    Well, pain it may be, but I am prepared for it. I am trying not to buy another car, as I do not have room for one more. I might have to pay more for the b18 than I will the accord. My mom's co-worker is moving and was going to scrap it, but my mom told him she will pay him whatever the junk yard...
