So I can pick up a short block A20A1 from my school for free, and I was really thinking about picking it up, making it run, and POSSIBLY do a low budget turbo build on it, just for fun The only problem is the A1 was carbeurated. the A3 and A4 Versions were fuel injected however, and since it's a short block is it still possible to make it fuel injected??


The only things the motor has is a full bottom end, head, and cam.

 

WTH is a a20 and what are you putting it in to?

 

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. (Wikipedia owns me ) I figured i could pick up an older accord from a junk yard or something for cheap. Now that I think of it... can't I just turbo it even if it is carbeurated, hell it might even be easier to tune. I really don't know ---- about carbeurated motors tho

 

haha

 

so return it back to school and give them some fee to accept it .

OR

search for any old engines show and go ahead

 

actually i haven't picked up the engine yet. just wanted to get some opinions before I did... if i even do

 

ITS FREE! Pick it up. Research and find out what you can swap on to, into and out of. Find a blown chasis/shell on the cheap (Research) and build a cheap HMT setup you can rock till it blows, you get bored, or some rice clown offers you some cash to move on to your next project!

 

A20 old-school...solid iron block lovin'

 

A series blocks want boost. Honda made them for HMT. Iron blocks FTW!
