A Chevy "tree fity"
No seriously. If N/A is your goal, Pound for pound Itr motor w/ tranny is awesome way to go.. second choice Gsr built w/ Itr parts and skunk two manifold,
3rd choice is ctr, 4th is b16a built, 5th is integra non vtec.
H22 if you only want to go straightline fast and don't care for handling.
If turbo, Ls integra built w/ drag kit.
or b20 crv w/ drag kit.
Oh don't forget the ghetto rims for "bling bling " factor.

h22a best swap in my opinion. has lots of torque, reliable stock power(w/out mods). no doubt you'll run with v8's. only thing to worry about is broken axles i suggest place racing they make strong ones.

I always restrain from making a smart comment, but you PROBABLY should use the search function offered by this forum. Good luck!

WE DO HEAR THIS QUESTION TOO OFTEN ...IS THERE A WAY THAT WE CAN REQUIRE PEOPLE TO SEARCH FIRST!?

Welcome to honda-tech. You should be aware of one thing, people here are intolerable to repeatitive question. If you ask a dumb question, expect a dumb answer. Oh yeah, learn to use the search function before you ask anything next time, the chances are it has probably been asked numerous times before. So it's best to do some re-search before you post, otherwise you're gonna get answers like in this thread. Good luck!

Aggreed that is a strong motor...But makes the car wayy too front heavy leans forward towards front bumper as uposed to b series sitting a lil more upright. ...Preyludeswap= sucky handling !!!
++++ super important. that you know the preylude block has Horrible cylinder walls!!! the metal is a crappy material compared to the quality of a b series vtec block . Preylude H22a cylinders have a special coating that prohibits from being able to safely bore it over if you need to ...so you'd have to resleeve it ! This is what I hear from a reputable Machine shop mechanic and my honda (raceminded) Oem Mechanic (certified w/ honda since 84')
So beware... Building a b20 Vtec is a more viable option... Sleeving it w/ bigger bore w/ Itr head= nicey nice! Remember H22a swaps give a crap load of wheelspin..there is only so much torque you can actually use in a ffwd car.
