Prelude engine swap
hey guys just after a little advise want to do an engine swap into my 1989 honda prelude 4ws(nothing wrong with the engine in there just want different) went for a ride in my mates civic type R and loved the feel but i like the look of the old prelude any suggestions for the engine n/a or turbo and the issues i might have eg 4ws system

best way to chase the same performance as your mates CTR is to buy a DC2/4 integra (or a DA6/9) and put a B20VTEC in there, add some coil-overs and some big brakes...
i had a B20VTEC in a 1983 Prelude and unless you have heaps of coin, or work in a mechanics, or have heaps of time and patience, you're going to have to ditch the popup lights and face reality of a new car...
or you can bolt on a turbo to the B20A.
that's really the only way to make the '89 faster...... retired/ -

looks like it was. was it still 4 wheel steer after the conversion did you have to change the engine mounts much and love the inverted bonnetComment
-
been looking at pricing for a new car vs the pricing for me to do the conversion or turbo the all sort of average out the sameComment

only the 3rd generation 88-91 had 4WS, mine is a 2nd Gen (thats why it has the backwards bonnet)...Originally posted by Bgram View Post
none of the original mounts were retained.
if you can find a straight 89-92 integra, these can be made to go fast...... retired/Comment

I don't have the skills, otherwise I probably get the mount for B18 from them and drop the engine in my lude cita 91.
But b20 is a strong engine too....Comment
