my friend has a 92 prelude S his motor blew and he doesnt have much money..but my other friend offered him a b18b integra ls motor...how hard would the swap be?? what would be needed??

Not a good idea to swap in an engine with less horsepower and less torque.

^^^^^ same what he said

if he needs a cheap engine get a blown engine or a engine from a junk yard and rebuild it with just the original parts and new pistons rings and that kinda stuff, its cheap but not the best thing to do. wont last very long and i dont know about the reliability. but i think it would cost less than $1k.

This same question was asked a few weeks ago...

Here's my answer -

Is it worth it = In my opinion... No.

B-Series motors do not make as much HP nor TQ to equal an H-Series.. So putting a smaller/weaker motor into a jeeze... Almost a 1,000 lbs heavier car... Would be very ignorant...

Putting H-Series in Civic/Integra = Makes sense, but not the other way around...

This speculation is on the grounds of stock cars, motor, body, etc, wise..

If I was that guy I would do a little bit more research before I bought that motor from him and put it into a Prelude.. Doesn't make sense to me..

Good Luck on convincing him not to buy it...
