Coupe is heavier than Sedan for sure. Well if you swap a 1.6L then go B16.. more potential in the long run

My Build Thread
somebody did a b16 swap into an accord (was it oldschoolswap?) anyway, he could only run mid 15s with that setup. For the same money, i was into the 13s on a stock engine. My built engine uses mostly off the shelf parts, except for the pistons were custom made, but they are on stock B18a/b sized eagle rods, that and the headwork/intake manfold. Stock crank, off the shelf headstuds, oil pump, gaskets etc. There is no point in swapping to a D series in an accord, just no point. Going B series can get you good results but its very expensive, and then your still not even gaining that much power really, your gonna have to mod that engine to start making real power... Turbo A series is the way to go for bang for your buck

as you can see those are all pretty close right? the heaviest is the sei sedan at 2700, and again some of that weight will be in the motor, about 100 extra lbs...
so if you take an lxi coupe and swap it, it's roughly the same as an ex coupe for the 95 civic... any more questions?
dead white and blue
Don't forget engine weight from a D and A seriers
if anyone plans to puts a d15 in their accord, i need another a20
Naw, all i'm saying is I would never swap a d in the 3g, a20 works fine
and yes, b16 would be my choice if money was not a issue, because its the smallest engine with decent aftermarket
^lol, getting tense
lawl, be a dick all you want i clicked multi quote and my browser didn't do it, sorry i use google chrome...
as for this thread i want to see it to completion!
oh and my d-series is faster than 9 out of 10 cars on 3geez... i know because one of the better cars here, lx-incredibles car is slower than mine, as said by the owner himself. :-\
dead white and blue
well yeaa i could rebuild my a20 i definately wouldnt mind it but if i do keep it i have to rebuilld it it has 250xxx miles on it which is ridiculous
hmmm yup i have google chrome too and of course its faster then the a series and back then a series was on near the top but you cant argue with 120hp on the 88 and 89 give some props that they have a good engine haha i know i love my a20a3 she hasnt failed yet and feels healthy even though the body has 335xxx on it
hate to say it but by the time the accord started getting the A motor it was allready being outdated, it was top of its line back in the prelude but by the time it made it to the accord bigger things were being done at honda,
dont get me rong i love the A motor, but love doesnt make sometihng old, new again
BUT im just saying LOL.........w/e swap he/she wants to do then let em do it. Pat its all good man. 100 lbs is a 100lbs. weight is weight. ....B series is better if you want to do a swap thats a 1.6
200+ ALL MOTOR LS VTEC
a d powered accord would be interesting alright and probably really good on fuel. id choose a dohc zc as the shitbox single cam engines are made for economy not speed even tho they make good power for what they are
personally wouldnt spend money to get one in my accord tho id upgrade to an H22a but my factory b20a will do me fine
