[lude66]

what would be a good swap for a 1992 prelude? every one keep's telling me to get a (jdm)h22a but thats all you ever see in prelude's

[Benefit]

sr20

[lude66]

wow it a honda not a nissan

[iloveboost]

A good swap for your Prelude would be an S2000. Not the motor, but the actual car. :D

[lude66]

i wish i had that kind of cash

[jaystar]

are u serious ??? this question is jus a joke right

[lude66]

yeah this is a serious question cuz ive heard not all swaps will go in a bb4 to tell you the truth im new to the import world so thats why i asked

[jaystar]

h22 and call it aday

[01CDMLUDER]

yep h22! and since ur new to imports i would do alot of research before you buy an engine or do the swap.

[lude66]

well i got a jdm h22a1 now an ive been thinking about going boost

[.93lude]

jdm f22 and boost, h22's dont take boost as well as f22's, you can run low boost on stock internals and be fine

[itsnotarex]

LS1. :goodjob:

No, but seriously, from what I hear most people do the H22 if they're not planning on boosting the car. It's a solid motor....I mean it's a honda. of course it is.

Best of luck, man!

[MistaCee]

Anyone ever heard of a H2B prelude?

[cactusEG]

h22 for sure..

[Benefit]

sr20

[SouthSide Tay]

H2b stands for

H-series motor with a B-series tranny

I dont recall eversee any one put a B_ series tranny IN a Prelude. Thats actually a better question than the one in the OG thread????

[southside]

H22 or you could do h23vtec,Or drop a k20

[seanrg1116]

sell it preludes are heavy, get a hatch with a b18


F20

[pebojelly]

JDM F22B dohc good tune on 8-10 psi is a monster.Please throw in arp rod bolts and mains if you want and enjoy.

[abstract]

H22 or H23, or K series. you can even go with a 4G63 or SR20DET, nissan bluebird. All engines have been done before, depends on what you want to get out of it.

[Z33_kid]

2jz or 1jz mad power - h22

^^^^ dont listen, rock a clean prelude in a virtual sea of modified hatchbacks and 240's with torn off bumpers. who cares if your not as fast?
if the prelude is clean, its a unicorn

[Franco Tirador]

i thought all jdm h motors had no number after the a?

but anyhow, H22 are the best option, especially if you get one with a lsd prelude tranny, chipped ecu(mainly to move the redline further down), or build an f22 and boost it, or get a k swap

[01CDMLUDER]

There's alot of different swaps u can do depending on how much moneis u got!

You can trade in the LS1

or the SHO

or you can stick with the H and just put it in the back and make it RWD so u can do this....w/o trays

Either way they're gonna cost more than just doing the reg jdm h22 swap... If u wanna be different it'll be hard.. Maybe you can do a k20 head/k24 block frankenstein into the lude?

[J-ROCK]

dude try a k series if you got the cash! people would never guess or if your really og status do the j swap i havent seen one in a lude yet

[jdm-civic]

i suggest a jdm f20b motor

[Arm&hammer]

DO THE G23 SWAP FTW
