Hi everyone im new hewre
I recently brought a 88 accorrd the car will have 250,000 miles on it when i come home from work tommorrw..lol.. It still runs good and ive been taking care of it, but i would like to turn the car into a tuner and i'm not sure what my engine options are.

 

Seems like i got some views but no replys, 5 speed 1988 four door accord. all i no is that acura engines are an option but im not sure which ones.

 

oh well i tired to get some help i jut found, the engine for my car on ebay for about 600 bucks. I guess ill try to get it and see what i can do, since the milage is low i can actually try some things out with out worring. peace everyone

 

Jesus christ, this is a web board, people don't reply instantly... expect to wait a couple days to get good matter from here.

In this case though, you'll get a quick reply: the 86-89 body Accord is a waste of time for a know-nothing. No Honda/Acura engines readily swap into it worth mentioning, except the rare-as-hell Accord goldtop B20A. Other "normal" B-series require a $600ish mount kit along with about $2-3k worth of other stuff t get running. I'd advise a Haltech to keep the wiring simple.

I've already thought through a build on a 3G LX-i hatchback... my plans came out to over $5k for a good two hundred wheel horsepower car.

 

thanks for the reply. Since the goldtop B20A is impoissle to get my hands on, im gona get my A20A rebuilt, and due to the weight I'll try to see if i can get it supercharged,I haven no clue as to how much this is gona cost me since the charger will have to be custom made, but im just trying to tune something you hardly see.

 

damn that's a lot of money to put into a 20 year old car with 250k miles on it...good luck and keep us updated

 

I'll be sure to do that soon as i got to the college today i hit 250,001, ima head to a shop right after this class and price the rebuilding of the engine.I'll most likey post a list of the cost sometime tonight. Not just of the engine but also of addtional parts and an ect.

 

It is an LX-i or SE-i (both fuel injected,) right? If it's one of the carburated models, you're wasting time.
