So After 12 years, I came across a beautiful Honda Accord with retractable lights and thought about a project. 12 years back I used to have an integra DA7 and I swapped the double keihen D with a B16A back then with every single wire attached (I had a decent electrician who took reasonable $$ but did the job awesomely with gadgets) never had any problems till I sold the car back in 2k9. That was one memoriable ride I had apart from GTXX and 1.3 Suzuki Cultus. Long story short. My accord has a B18a engine with auto tranny and that is expired due to CNG and cannot be undone. I am unable to find B18s now and need a swap and off course I dont need a track car now but still a good ride crossing 150km mark on nice days.I have F18 (blue top) D16, D17 in option. I will not be going for H or K series though. A series is history and B is mystery now. What are my options and can anyone here assist me with good opinions as I was quite away with this hobby?
which city are you from ?all i can say is swap something which is abundant in junk B and H series are extint for example
. Can you show us a pic of the target car.
this car was on olx few days back. good luck with the purcahse dude.
some people like it for the pop up headlights but if not maintained properly it may give you a lot of problems
Well. Car is pretty decent with all originals including the B18a engine. Everything working even the popups and sun roof. Car does not a cosmetic surgery and is undergoing as well. I found B20B with complete harness, mounts ECU etc. Now the issue is the B20B came with an AWD tranny. Can I just stop the AWD as I really dont want it.
You will need a B series transmission to mate with that engine, e.g. an S4C, S80, Y80, Y21, Y1. Where did you find the engine from?
This car has a lot of potential. With awd and that engine it can really be one of a kind project car. The ke70 and ae80 corollas and mark2s will be nothing for it
Hahaha Really? even mark2
Yeah but not in a straight line. I hate how people beef up mark2s and they have the handling of a cow.
Shershah. I kinda need a b20a and got a b20b
They're different engines with different mounting points. You will need to modify your mounts. I've seen D series swaps done in 88 Accords and they eat clutch and rarely run fine, so later gen B series would be the same probably. Have you swapped this engine in your car already? How much did you get it for? What else was included with the engine?
I read your thread again, if it already came with a B18, the B20 would bolt right in. You can use the same transmission and axles as the B18 for the time being, until you can find a clean B series transmission. I have quoted the trans codes in an earlier post. Is the ecu stock? Did the motor come with the stock airbox?
It originally came with bolt to bolt b18 but a with double carb and auto. I just bought the engine in 100k provided I got the auto transmission and that of crv. Complete harness from engine to ecu. All things are intact. Efi intake exhaust fuel rail the wires are cut from battery to ecu without any breaking one or two sensors though are missing. My technical said that let's put in on chaine today and let the ideas roll. My previous came with cruise control 4 gear auto with steering selection and reset. Has an anti lock braking intact as well. It was a London model so you know all sashkas
Ok so that was the older B18A that your car came with. You will need to modify the mounts for this B20B to fit. You would also need to change the fuel tank, axles (probably) and that CRV gearbox is 4WD and will not fit. You will need a B series trans. Does the engine have the taller intake mani or the short?
Unfortunately nothing fits except the assembly head and block. So had to waste some extra cash and replacee the unfitted engine with an a20a with auto. that is defintely bolt ons. The engine is in neat condition with few thousand kms, so I guess I will remain with a 100hp car. Well knew that axles and fuel tank will have to chage so they were already out but now they will get back to their places again :). Need a good denter and painter in Gulshan. Any advices as I have to take the car out on road as early before Ramzan. It will be completely done from mechanical and suspension wise by next week.
Where are you getting this swap done? Also, what did you do with the B20B? I can buy it off of you as I need one for spares.
Let me know a good time to chat. I was trying to swap A20A but unfotunately the auto trans is not upto mark.
PM me your number
