I have aquired a 1987 Accord w/158,000-12 valve motor. I am looking to upgrade when this one is worn-out, has anyone upgraded to a more recent motor? What about the more current 4-cylinders is this a straight-in conversion? Thanks!!

 

Well, I believe those Accord are OBD-0, so they would need to be converted to OBDI or OBDII to work with a fuel injected motor. You would also need the engine harness and the computer, along with (probably custom) engine mounts. It would likely be expensive and a huge wiring mess, but possible. Custom Hasport mounts would probably start at $750-$1000.

 

Thanks!!

 

I have seen was it a b18 88 accord maybe, i think b series swap in fairly easy, but you won't find a write up on it.

Its something you gotta explore and figure out on your own.

 

This thread is in the wrong forum mods..please move to where it belongs...

 

Iv seen it done with a b16...but I have always wanted to get an older hatch and do a f22a swap. It will take a good bit of custom work. It would be a nice power to weight ratio in the end even with a stock engine. Talk about a sleeper...no1 will expect a built hatch accord. Try searching google for 2nd gen accord sites. I know they are out there.
