I had seen the word H2B from someone here and I recently picked up a Hona Tuning magazine and found out what it was. Seems like an easy install but what are the advantages of having a B series tranny on an H series motor and which would be the best tranny to choose among the B series?

You should search H2B in the Prelude Forum.. You will see, this is not a good question to ask this Forum, these guys get offended..

H2B isn't made to work in a Prelude Chassis. And if you don't have a Prelude, then you should ask another Forum, not us..

Reminds of getting shafted yet again! Nah, I'm cool with our trans options....others....not so much. But yeah H2B no worky in it the car the H was meant for.

well the biggest reason people did it is because nobody has aftermarket trannies for the H series, or gears.
Finally Mfactor is making gears for our H series. so IMO i would keep what u got and buy the gears when the come out.... For me with lsd,axles etc, it would just cost 2 much for me 2 swap when i can buy gears that will be strong.....

there are tons of threads about it. better final drive. motor sits higher. uses stock axles. uses easily available b series mounts and parts. etc....

I think I'll just wait and see when the new gears come out the the H22 tranny, H2B sounds like too much of a hastle!!

just put the Mfactory 5.2 final drive in your H22 tranny

Only benifit to the b tranny is the aftermarket support for it... IMO its a pain in the ***, grinding, funny motor postion, linkage, axles, cost of the kit, install, and now you have a STOCK b tranny that is no stronger than an H, Plus it only fits in a handle full of cars.... [freak] a b series....wait for Mfactory there coming thru!!

I personaly will never do a H2B, I will be having a hard time finding an LSD B series tranny here at my local city, Im fine with an H series tranny B4 LSD, and change the gears, but ofcurse and h2b will be faster vs h22 tranny with stock gears. see this video ---->

there is a h2b kit out there for preludes. just isnt on the market. until he decides to bring it out then rheres nothing.

ej6runner

I think h2b is awesome. I haven't done it yet but did some research and I personally like it. It's something I will do when I get out of the B-series.

Apex1972

that video is full of stupidity.

im currently doing f2b right now. basically destroked h22 motor. its a good alternative to the k series. same power, less expensive.

Spend your money on your engine if it ain't already built. Some of them h2b's are expensive you could source a used jrsc kit for the price of some of them and probably get it tuned.

los1

imo yeah its worth it its easy to get b series tranies for cheap, then you have more options for your need with b16 b16ls hydro trans cable trans b18 and gsrs or even a combo like a b16 with an ls 5th gear. to me iths worth it just expensive to get the adapter plate to mate the h2b.

this conversation has nothing to do with preludes
