Re: Is a cello compatible with a prelude?

Ive moved all kinds of things in my preludes. Take out the passenger and rear seats and there is all kinds of room. If 5th gens are like my 4th gens, only 4 bolts hold the front seats in. Easy and...

Re: H23 vtec swap in 2000 accord from F23

Swapping it doesnt break the crank, bearings, or timing belts. Driving and Revving the engine like a B series or H22 is what kills them.

Re: "overheating" but thermostat doesn't open and fans don't come on?

Get a small wire, pull the connector on ECT switch A and bridge the connection in the plug. Both fans should come on. If they dont come on you have a bad relay, fuse, or control module. If they do...

Re: What Have you done to your Prelude today?

I used a 97-01 ebrake on my 94-96 console swap. I hate the ebrake boot on the 94-96 ebrakes.

Re: crank bolt issues

Yeah it definitely sounds like a short leading to a voltage drain somewhere on your car. I have a buddy who has the same problem with his 90 Mitsu GSX. Goes through alternators and batteries like...

Re: New rebuilt H23a1 overheating

I also have used the heater method for short spurts to get her pulled over safe. The AC thing makes sense too, triggering both fans.

As far as the OP goes, thermostat or radiator is likely the...

Re: B series swap in 92-95 prelude?

Absolutely no b-series engines belong in a 92-2001 prelude. Period. IF you absolutely MUST decrease displacement look into the f20b.

The 4th and 5th gen prelude have bigger, torquier engines...

Re: Radiator and ac fan problems

I recently had to change my radiator fan relay to get my fans up and cooling again. Test the relay for the fans and go from there.

On my skunk2 sleeve coilovers the front springs arent as tall as the rears when not under load. They appear to be the same diameter with a different number of coils and spring rates.

I just called my friend to refresh my memory on what was wrong.

It wasnt the whole coilover that was wrong, because as you pointed out, the bolts are different. The SPRINGS were mixed up.

Re: Just did an h22 swap cant get the car to run right on the p13

Verify you actually have the H22 Injectors on the car.

To me it sounds like the H23 injectors are on the H22. Thats why the P14 runs fine, but the P13 does not.
