I want to do a swap for my 92 prelude s. I have the f22a1 5 speed. I know everyone does h22's but are there any other strong vtech motors to put in here besides k series. too pricey for that swap. I have a decent amount saved up but don't want to spend it all on the swap.

 

H22 is easiest. H23VTEC is becoming common. F20B is an upgrade, but the H22 is better. Some have tried a J-series.

 

JDM h22a best bet

 

f20b would be cool. u dont see as many of them..

 

I would like to know how?

 

h22a1, i have one for sale 800$ picked up

 

More displacement, more torque, more horsepower.

 

Both seem to have 200 HP. I am aware of the disparity between an auto F20B and Type S H22, but the mean is that they both have 200HP.

Just about every H22 is burning oil right about now. "Help, I have blue smoke when I accelerate y0!"

 

Can you even go to Autozone (NAPA/O'Reilly/etc.) to get parts for an F20B without knowing the exact part you need? An H22 seems a better swap for someone who is NOT a Honda engine guru. When he swaps in an F20B he may not come back here & post:

but I guarantee he'll post this:

etc.

 

I have an f20b in my 4gen im still trying to put it together so many things would not work. but its worth it cuz the last one i road in. . . . . Damn
