Jesus christ, this is a web board, people don't reply instantly... expect to wait a couple days to get good matter from here.
In this case though, you'll get a quick reply: the 86-89 body Accord is a waste of time for a know-nothing. No Honda/Acura engines readily swap into it worth mentioning, except the rare-as-hell Accord goldtop B20A. Other "normal" B-series require a $600ish mount kit along with about $2-3k worth of other stuff t get running. I'd advise a Haltech to keep the wiring simple.
I've already thought through a build on a 3G LX-i hatchback... my plans came out to over $5k for a good two hundred wheel horsepower car.

thanks for the reply. Since the goldtop B20A is impoissle to get my hands on, im gona get my A20A rebuilt, and due to the weight I'll try to see if i can get it supercharged,I haven no clue as to how much this is gona cost me since the charger will have to be custom made, but im just trying to tune something you hardly see.
