slap a vtec head on that biatch!!! then boost or get a y5. y5s own.

all you have to with that b18a1 is find out the year, if it is pre92 dont buy it, its the wrong obd. If it is a 92 or newer all you need is some head work and a hydro tranny and a ecu from a ls/rs teg from 92 to 95 obd1

Orangecivic251

it's from a 91 ls

dont get it then... have you thought of turboing that your d15?

its y5 time. u will probably get the same amount of power. b series should get a little more. to fully build the motor, the right way. 2000+

ok so honestly in your opinion you tell me the way i shoudl go with out spending a fortune. this is definatly a daily driver so i need dependability but i want to kick some *** at the same time being very cost effective the least amount of maintenacnce(u know hwta i mean)

ok so i've decided to go with an h23 out of a 95 prlude with a port and polish head balanced crank and things like that all i need is axles and clutch and flywheel,motor mounts i'm not sure which axles i need if anyone has these parts let m eknow your price and also what do i need to do to the engine bay to get it to fit ??!?!?!?!??!?!

cxjon

why would you chose that motor... i would go h22 over the h23

Orangecivic251

for $500 you can't beat that the motor only has 61k on it

I saw that you wanted to get some interior work done, i can get pretty sick discounts at this place that does custom interior work on long island, if you want something stock looking or even if you want a custom dash, new carpet and a set of sparco torino seats, i can hook you up.
As far as your motor goes, if you wanna get the best out there, i can see if i can get my hands on a spoon motor and try to hook you up.
otherwise, i would stay try to get your hands on a 2.0 si motor out of a lude or something and get the right mounts and then get a cam, valve springs, and an intake, it might end up costing a little more than a grand but you car will have some *****!

Orangecivic251

2.0 si motors your talking about the older preludes right???????? what are the specs for that motor???
