1986 Honda Accord LXI 2.0 FI

:

What did the car originally come with? It's very much best to install the
same thing as the original.

JDM engines are good deals, monetarily, but you can get in real trouble
with them, especially with the older ones. I get lots of emails looking for
advice. The worst of these are from people who have installed aftermarket
parts, or those who have done a "mix & match" engine swap. Don't do the mix
& match if you can at all help it.

I'd check here:
www.car-part.com
or a local wrecking yard.

 

not necessarily just the 20-somethings! some guy came up to me the other
day, mid-late 50's, to chat. he raved on about my crx and what a great
car they were, how much he regretted selling his, etc. usual blah. but
when we were done and he'd headed off, i watched him climb into his own
car to drive away. it was a new 7-series bmw!!!

your integra is the same breed. head on around the back of our local
honda dealers and you'll see what the service dept guys drive - late 80's/
early 90's integra, civic hatch, crx. and actually, one of the guys at my
local porsche dealership drives a crx.

 

It came with the BT, I just didn't know if there was some improvement
of note over the original from the BT to the A20A3 which appeared the
next year. I appreciate the advice and will look at the site and
see. We have a local yard as well, would getting one from a wrecker
be any different than this one where it sat for a year (rings stuck,
etc...)? I guess I will just have to hunt for a good one.

Thank You
