Hey guys im new to this board so dont flame a newbie :D
I have just gotten a 2nd Gen prelude 2L Si and ive been thinking what to put in it. Im looking for speed and control
what should i put in first...intake...header...new spring
wanna help a newbie out guys

 

Unfortunately for you there isnt many mods for a 2gen. Only header i remember was a crappy name (pacesetter?) and it rusts and looks like *** right away ...

Honestly, you should save up for a swap, throw in b16 or something ... sure the engine aint great but its better than an oil burnin b20

I think if you search long and hard you could find an intake for it, and exhaust you'd have to do custom piping but honestly, there isnt much aftermarket at all

as for suspension I dont know ... but those cars are pretty well balanced stock.

 

B20s aren't in 2nd gens dude

oh and your screwed for 2nd gen upgrades, theres a few but not alot, but i have seen a b16 powered 2nd gen before

 

Don't listen to them! Your not screwed on mods. There are alot of mods 4 ur car and I can say most of the 2gz I know about would feed a civic and newer lude it's ***. Visit my friends website to get the scoop and feel free to join the club!

and SpoolBlude the B20A was in the second gen lude Si in japan in 1986!

To quote SpoolBlude .... YEAH SO THER!##35#

B20a5 was 3gen, b20a ?? was 2gen 86/87 2.0Si thptptptp. Only put out 110hp though, 100lb torque I think .. my 2gen/3gen stats are rusty since I got my 92 4ws.

I cant wait to see these mods on 2gen .. ther ewas a guy on hondaprelude.com rjudgy, he had weber carbs on his 1.8L and bored it to 2L, had vtec calipers i think ... did lotsa work, converted his base body to si but the bumpers never really fit ... then theres silverghost body kit but who wants to spend $3000 on a body kit for a $800 car ?? ...

yeah good luck trying to find anything about 2g ludes one here. i have two of them. the b20 did come in the jdm 2g at 85 or 86. i think it was rated at 160hp or about that. still the prelude b-series are the bastard b-series. they suck big time. the a20a3 and Bt blocks really arn't that bad. i'm building a custom turbo for mine this winter. should hold up pretty well. cast iron closed deck block. 8.7.1 comp is nice for turbo also. don't buy those pacecrapper headers that are on ebay right bow. i emailed the guy cuz the egr bung is on the wrong side. it can't be the right header. i looked at my rods today. they are a loy beefier than my old d series ones. the pistons have a pretty high silicon content though. i am looking into getting custom forgings.
if you do want to swap it should be pretty easy to fit anything you want in there. wiring will be a PITA though. the prelude wiring harness is nowwhere near like any obdo or obd1 harnesses. if you want to know more about these engines. there is a great site called 3geez.com they are all 3rd gen accord guys. same engines as the 86 87 prelude for the most part.

 

yes at the moment Rjudgy is putting down about 195 whp w/ a 2.0 si block A20A3 and a accord head w/ webers.

 

man those 2nd gen preludes are tight..i dont know why there aint much aftermarket supports...but i know that think can burn oil and blow it out the exhaust like a smoke maker/machine...

 

dont put a b16 in that thing...the motor that's in there right now is pretty fast already...i dont see much of an upgrade if you put a b16 in there...if you love that car enought and with enought experience and tools...you can fit an h22a in there...

 

it's an 8 grand conversion that includes custom crossmembers and moving the firewall back 3 inches. But it will let you run 12's till the cows come home.
