Honda Prelude 1985 Engine Conversion

[adVan Ayam]

Good day guys....

I'm a newbie here. Hehehehe. Need your all help since I do not know which engine to use. Hehehehe.
My budget is around 9K. How much for VTEC with turbo (possibble aaa?).hehehehe.
My other option is to put in other brand engine.... Can aaa?
Nissan RB20DET, SR20DET or Mitsu engine (don't get angry guys...)hehehehe. Which one to use???hehehehe...
Those intercooler and gauges look so yummy....hehehehehe. Plus the cost will be much more cheaper right???
Need contact number for workshop that can do the transplant. In Seremban area if possible if not in KL also can.... Heeeehehehhe.
Anybody have done such a transplant before???
Can I have your phone number?
Please hook me up with somebody who know.....
Hehehehehe.
Thanks in adVan.

Happy holiday guys....

prelude project car

:rolleyes: well...are u seriusly wanna ur prelude boost-up? okay,3 years ago, my friend from kelantan came to me looking for engine to upgrade his prelude performance... wow!! he bought a mazda interplay halfcut (210 hp)..and when I asked him why, he said what's he lookin for is the horsepower and secondly like u said..intercooler and gauges..what the problem are you going to face up after that in this case : JPJ approval, driveshaft(install well?) or just 'welding and sambung'~up to the workshop skill,etc.
It's all up to u...ur budget bro...But for me,just put in a H22A from the prelude BB4 okay ape? Then, upgrade to vtec turbo... :D

Hi advan ayam,
I have a Prelude that is the same model as your's, mine has been converted to B-series Vtec many years ago. At the time when I wanted to convert my engine I went around asking for advice, I got a lot of information just from asking around. I actually saw a same Prelude that has a H22A engine put in
and oh boy..!, this engine is just too hugh for the engine bay and they had make cuts in order for the engine and gearbox to fit into the engine bay, the bonet just barely made it to close. I advice against putting in a H22A engine in your Prelude, this engine is just too hugh and heavy and would eventually make your car a straight line race car only, handling would be badly affected. Just put in a B-series engine and you will be ok. Good-luck !.

Just my 2-cents.

[DJmobile]

i think i have the same prelude as you guys,
mine is the basemodel but spec is SI...
BA1 2.0 DOHC
Actually i am pretty happy with its original spec, except a bit hard to get spare parts..
however still manage to rebuilt lots of parts...
i checked my engine code B20a has 160hp on tap..
you might want to source for it, plus it fits perfectly...

Secondly, why are you guys selling the prelude..
i use it as my second car and it find it pretty good for a 20yr old car..
except the fact that it DRINKS petrol like crazy...

cheers 2 preluders...;)

I've seen a 4G93T in the your generation of prelude b4. it was on a Thai website. But those guys r crazy when it came 2 conversions. But i translated some of the wordings which explains y the owner chose the 4g93t over a vr4.

firstly, dimensionally, the block is smaller, hence easier to mount. n also, because the block can reuse the prelude's front cross member, which makes it a whole lot easier 2 put in. driveshafts were customised, gearbox locked to 2wd. had 2 rewire the whole of the car. intercooler piping. n shitloads of otherstuff.

seriously, dun bother man. better just find a DA6 halfcut n mate it to your b20a. 2 litre vtec man. :P

 

[raybakh]

Maybe u wanna try for B20B or if u hav a higher budget, go for B18C (hehe)
sure garang punye. About the RB20 it wont fit in ur prelude coz, prelude is FF where else the RBs are for FR cars.

Just my 2 cents.

yes of course the H22A engine too hugh and heavy...but any convertion must be balance by upgrade the suspension too.
I'm suggest the H22A bcoz it cheaper and powerful (prelude BB4..arround 4k-5k only),but if u got more budget..why not go ahead for B-series ?!!
It just my opinion....sorry if u still looking for boost-up..he2.. :D
