300+ whp 87 Accord pictures

Well been posting here for a bit so figured I'd post up some pics of my non Acura.

Pretty much everything has been touched with a couple more things on the way.

Thanks.

I dont have any pics/scans of my final run but here is one of the progress.









Had alot of problems this day though. Broken front mount, with a slipping clutch. It was also like 100 degrees this day with himidity way up there.

I'm hoping to retune with larger intercooler and fix a couple of small issues.

Holy shit that is clean! An 87 in excellent condition alone would've had my jaw dropping.

lovely car.

i would enrich the mixture down low to get that turbo to spool a bit faster. maybe even adjust the timing.

Thanks for the complimets guys.

Its actually the original A series motor. 12-valve 2 liter sohc,

It needs some little things worked out for a better tune. My main problem now is that the intercooler has been maxed as far as cooling capabilities, and heat soak has become a problem. Those are issues that I'm working on so hopefully some retuning will come soon.

Though I have an 07 AV6 EX-L w/Navi and all the bells and whistles that go with it, I've ALWAYS wanted a 3G LX-i hatch! (I'm probably one of the few people on Azine who has driven this car when it was sitting in Honda showrooms brand new; which just shows my age. )

Anyway, that is HOT!!! That this setup still incorporates the A20A3 motor is simply over the top impressive.

I had an '87 4Dr LX in the same color. It was on my favorite cars of all time. I always wanted the hatch in 5sp...

I had an '88 LX 4 door, I miss that car. It was fun to drive, got great gas mileage and the seats were VERY comfortable.

Congrats and gl on the Accord!

Had a 87 4dr DX "now my lil sis's muahaha", and yeah it still runs... just the carb is taking a duece and the tranny likes to buck haha. One of the most comfy seats i got to sleep in during high school off hours and roadtrips though.
