hi guys, i'm new to the world of hondas and have a few questions. i have an 87 civic and just bought an 88 accord that was hit in the pass side quarter panel for parts. will the 1.8 from the accord swap into the civic? do any other parts interchange such as brakes,struts,etc? i want to have a quick street car that will suprise the mustang guys. thanks for any help.

 

I bet the cigarette lighter is the same in both.

 

that helps alot.anyone know?

 

i think what he means is no...haha

 

There are only a few things that will fit in the 88 accord from the 87 civic.

One is the shortshifter, the other is the short shifter bushing, other than that, you are out of luck.

Why do you want to swap to a smaller motor?

Just turbocharge it..

 

The 3rd gen Accord had a 1.8 engine? I thought it had had A20A3?

 

I get a woody every time I see pictures of your car!

 

one of the sweetest lookin old hondas on the street yo!

 

Sweetest looking 3rd gen I've ever seen.

 

like i said i'm new to hondas. i thought the civic had the smaller engine. if nothing will swap, whats a great running engine and 5 speed worth? thanks for the info guys.

 

Try a B16/18/20.

 

hehe, Wont be beat, I see you live by the swap guide. I think the A20A3 was the FI engine of that year. I would guess the 1.8 in question is a carbed engine and not listed in the swap guide. In 87 unless I'm mistaken or 1badcivic's civic is an SI it should carbed also. As far as that engine fitting I have no idea still. But with excess money/time and a lack of common sense almost anything will fit.

 

Only thing I live by is a Pizza place on the corner.

 

rode in this thing @ 8psi and even then it blew my mind.

 

if you want to surprise the mustang guys, just show them the pimples on your ***

 

whoa...holy ****....too much info.

 

wow
