I just saw that both were 1.5l and wondered if they used the same engine, so installing a turbo wouldn't be the same as transplanting the Civic drivetrain.

What kind of fuel economy would I get if I bought a 2020 Accord, installed the drivetrain into my 1999 Accord, and sold the rest for parts?

I am pretty sure that the 2.0l Civic would work. Wikipedia says that the K20C2 has 158 HP and 138 pounds-feet of torque and the F23A1 has 150 HP and 192-pound-feet of torque.

Really?! The 2.0 has 8 HP more and 54 L-F less?!

I did not expect that.
