Default New to Prelude 1984 (I know very old but can I tune?)

Hi, first sory for gramma error , my English is very bad!!!
I'm from Serbia and a week ago i by a Honda Prelude 1,8 (1984), I like this car very much but it's cind a slower then I touth!!!
Soon as I bout it , i drive my Honda in a garage and open the hood!!!
I dipleisment the standard air filter to YED sport "H&K" and I found on a net a nise copy of REMUS auspuff (i'l will finish my auspuff in a 2 days), but i want more from this Honda!!!
Can anyone of you tell me how much I can maximize commpresion , I think to atlest 10:1 and for that would be enough to get down a Motor head for a 1mm!
But when I'm allready doing theat I could maximize Valves!!!
What do you think how far i can play with this motor ?!?

P.S. I plan to by a V-Tec 2,2 motor and put it in mz Honda, Can it fit or I must by and Transmision aswell???!!!

P.S.2 Onceagain sorry for gramma!!!

Allow me to translate as best as possible.

Im from Serbia and a week ago i bought a honda prelude 1.8 its a 1984. I like this car very much but its kinda slower then i thought! As soon as i bought it i took it home and popped the hood. I replaced the stock air filter with a "H&K". I want more from this honda!
Whats the stock compression ratio? whats the max compression i can run? Would milling the head 1mm get me to where i want to be ? Also while the head is off should i get larger flat high compression valves ?

I plan on buying a H22 to swap in but im not sure what i need. Mounts? Trans ? is it even possible in this chassis ?


( This is the best i could do and im not sure what remus auspuff is. Maybe its another car or a book or something and unforunatly i do not have the answers as i am absoultly clueless on 1984 ludes.)

Yes, I'm pretty sure the H22 swap into the 1984 chassis is possible. You'll need custom mounts probably. You'll definitely need a H22 tranny, the one to whatever motor's in there won't work.

"this" motor being the 1984 motor or the H22?

You can run a SC on pretty much anything, I don't think they make a kit that bolts on for the '84 lude, and if you swapped the H22 in nothing is bolt on anymore


Also, for you being Serbian, I'm from Macedonia.

yeah, I got to sit in a rx7 and decided it kicked so much more ***. Besides, popups are sexy. Is the rx7 in the post stock?

damn that. I want some old guy to sell me his FD. Old people drive slow, so it'll have like 60k miles left on it. I'll probably end up getting a new motor for it anyway, like one of those stage 3 motors...mmm...

Old people are the way to go when buying nice cars. I bought my car from an older preacher down in NC.

Not always though. I bought my prelude off this old guy. It had rusted suspension on the front passenger's side that made me crash it and total it. After rebuilding it, the lock washer on the tranny decides to go AWOL on me (i made a thread about it somewhere), and all kinds of other **** is breaking. The ******* didn't even give me a spare tire...

But I figure i'll go with an old guy for the FD too.

Yeah that is a valid point. My buddy bought a 93 4WS off of an olddd lady and her husband insisted all maintence was done, including the timing belt. Couple months later his valves werent bent badly to say the least.

Oh well. I figure i'll have about 30k left on the FD motor, tops. That'll give me time to get one of those new ported motors. I'm gonna keep the prelude as a daily driver tho, so i'll have something to drive when the FD takes a **** on me.
