the valve cover is removed so I am guessing the motor is junk, but still could be a good parts car for a k20 swap.?

what do the k20 people think?
 
If the emission plate is any clue it’s a 1998? And a 6th gen accord so an F series engine. Not sure displacement or power. Not a k20.
 
what are the thoughts on the 6 spd? And any of the puters or wire harnesses. should I try to pull anything from it for a future k-20?
 
No.

Rod,

If you are planning a future k20 swap, I would keep on walking/driving past this accord. Not much (if anything) will swap over or help. Keep an eye out for civic SI (for a k20a3) and Honda integras for the k20a2 and of course the RSX-s. TONS of JDM imported engines as well. Also the Acura TSX sports the k24a2 (or JDM version with k24a3 like the one Hussein is using) which is also a great swap option. Basically, you are not going to be able to swap out different series drivetrains and intermix easily (F series transaxle will not work with a K series block, etc.,)

I would keep an eye on eBay or Craigslist and look for a complete swap option. You can get a low mile k20a2 (~50k) + trans + wiring harness + ECU for under 3k. When one comes up, snatch it. I recently got a k20a2 swap ready engine off eBay for 2400 from Canada. Came crated to California.
 
cool! thank you for the referance list and advice. I do know I want to power up an X to some real hp. But is a project for down the road. (no time or money for toy's right now). But I do want to keep an eye out for the right deal to drop on my lap!!:);)
 
However, there is a part in there you likely would want: the shifter mechanism in the passenger compartment, it is a metal assembly and can be modified to run your shift cables to the transmission.

Pretty sure it is this particular model, easily verified by pulling up the plastic/leatherette shift cover.

the valve cover is removed so I am guessing the motor is junk, but still could be a good parts car for a k20 swap.?

what do the k20 people think?

Cool that you have actual junk yards to peruse - those are long gone in my area. You need to look for a motor top that looks similar to mine - has "i-VTEC" on the manifold cover, and NO distributor. You may find a junked older ricer that has already been K20 swapped, you never know...

With my turning my thoughts towards a B swap instead of K swap and am looking back at this again.

Memory is telling me it does have a 6 speed in it. and a Honda lookup page said this car only came with a 5 speed. maybe it's already a motor swap?

or am I just letting my dreams overwhelm reality?

(might be able to get this free or very cheap) and parts izz parts!

If this is the stock motor it shows it runs out at 150hp (a bit low on the rpm's) as I do like the spirit of the x1/9 and its high revving motor!.

Not being versed on Japanese vehicles, I'll admit it was a bit confusing trying to figure out what Honda's to look for when searching for a particular engine, trans, and the right extra components. And I was only looking because of curiosity to see how the "B" series compared to the "K" series in availability and price (no intent to actually do it). Honda seems to have changed things often and with so many models to choose from, well you'll end up spending a lot of time researching the subject before you can start looking for a donor car. But ideally if you identify the years, models, and packages that have what you want, then you hopefully can get one donor car with all of the things you'll need and save money in the long run. I never did figure out exactly what the best choices would be for a "B" swap.
 
Run, don’t walk away from this. If you want something inexpensive to put in an X, the B series engines are a much better way to go. The A series engines are also CCW rotating so the engine will be on the driver’s side. This is an old engine design relatively speaking.

The B is lighter puts out more power and will be easier to package into an X
 
going to go look at it again. I remember it being 6 spd car and the Honda lookup page I found said that year only had a 5 speed available.
 
Rod, I thought that question was already answered earlier in this thread? Re-read the prior posts, it isn't a B nor K. Or am I misunderstanding something?
