A20 Question....
 

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 ;D 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?

Re: A20 Question....
 

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 :y ) 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 ???

Re: A20 Question....
 

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!

Yes you can swap the MPFI system on the carbed engine.
