I tell a lot of people about how stout the a-series blocks are, I think this thread is proof...

To buy a 95 EJ rolling chassis. next day began tearing down the whole car to re built, re design and fix pretty much everything. we're running a Sohc A20A2 from a prelude/accord and until last season was running the matching tranny, which we went through 9 in 1 season with 0 engine failures and if it wasen't for the trans. we would have probly been series champs.so we bought this 95 EJ you'll probly recognize this car the guy lives in olando nice area BTW.

thats what I've been saying for a long time... I think a closed deck cast iron block will support just a little boost :biglaugh:

A16A1

The A16A1 was a carburated 1.6 liter engine used in the 1982-1985 Honda Accords in North America and in some of the 1986-1989 Accords in the non-USDM market.

Specifications

* Carbeurated
* Displacement: 1596 cm³
* Bore: 80 mm
* Stroke: 79.5 mm
* Power:
o 88 hp @ 6000 rpm
o 91 ft/lb torque @ 3500 rpm

[edit] A18A

The A18A engine was the 1.8 liter engine found in the 1982-1985 Honda Accords as well as the 1984-1987 Honda Prelude in the US. Abroad, it was also available in the 1986-1989 Accords.

Specifications

* Carbeurated
* Displacement: 1829 cm³
* Bore:
* Stroke:
* Power:
o 110 hp @ 5800 rpm
o 112 ft/lbs @ 3500 rpm

[edit] A20A

The A20A is probably the most plentiful of all the Honda A-series engines. It was available in both carbeurated and PGM-FI versions. They were found in both Accords and Preludes throughout the 1980s.

[edit] A20A1 & A20A2

The A20A1 and A20A2 were the carbeurated versions of the A20A engines. It was available in the 1984-1987 Honda Preludes as well as the 1982-1989 Accord DX and LX. They are the same engine, the only difference between them being that the A20A2 has no emissions components, so it has a slightly higher power output (hp and tq numbers for A20A1 only).

Specifications

* Exhaust: 4-1 Cast Manifold
* Induction: Carbureted 2bbl Keihin ( Feedback Carb )
* Displacement: 1955 cc / 119 CID
* Bore:
* Stroke:
* Power:
o 98 hp
o 109 ft/lb at 3500 rpm

[edit] A20A3 & A20A4

The A20A3 and A20A4 were the fuel injected versions of the A20A engines. They were run by Honda's PGM-FI system on a partial OBD-0 computer. Again, there is no real difference between the A20A3 and the A20A4 besides the A20A4 having a slightly higher power output because of not having emissions components (hp and tq numbers for A20A3 only). The A20A3 was offered in the 1984-1987 Honda Prelude 2.0Si, the 1985 and 1989 Honda Accord SE-i, and the 1986-1989 Honda Accord LX-i.

Specifications

* PGM-FI
* Displacement: 1956 cm³
* Bore:
* Stroke:
* Power:
o 1986-1987: 110 hp @ 5500 rpm & 114 ft/lb @ 4500 rpm
o 1988-1989: 120 hp @ 5500 rpm & 122 ft/lb @ 4000 rpm

these are the stock usdm 3rd gen accord motors.
they are not very popular, so there is no real aftermarket for the motor, you would have to find a way to make your own mount kit and if you went turbo you'd need to make your own manifold and whatnot....

the 1st gen crx si motors were just as good, i ran a 150 shot on mine for almost a yr and a half. countless bottles worth, and the motor had over 200k on it, only thing that made me send it to the junkyard was the tranny went out.
