Default built A20A3 is finally done. pics coming later today

well guys i finally got my motor out of the shop... i still have a lot of work to do before its ready to throw into the car, but at least the motor is back in my garage, and i have most of the parts i will need to finish the swap.

http://www.a20turbo.com/features/chris.html
and excuse the site that has nothing on it, i just started it, and havent had time to build any content, so i just have this one page.

i am going to take some pictures of it later on today.
the plan is to break this motor in and get it tuned, and i will run it NA for probably close to a year while i save up so i can turbo it 'right' and learn a bit about tuning so i dont blow it up overnight. anyway it should be a pretty sweet setup once boosted. although im thinking high 14's is the fastest i can hope for NA.

EDIT: PICS

thats the plan man!
you guys have seen what jason's accord is capable of with a stock a20, so the potential only goes up from there.

the tenative plan, is to run around 12psi for daily driving, but the motor was built with 20psi track pulls in mind... should be as fast as my tranny/axels/tires want it to be

PS, this is in an 86 accord hatch for those who aren't familiar with the A series motor...

ImportorDomestic was building one of those. Hopefully he'll get his *** on here a chalk up his experience with it. He's a walking dictionary of that motor. Anywho keep trucking. www.3geez.com or www.3geeze.com is a site dedicated to the third gen Accord in which that motor came in. But you probably already knew about that.
