ok.. this isnt for me.. but sumone told me about their car tonight.. and they said they bought a b16c whatever it is and put it in their lude.. has anyone EVER HEARD of this disaster? what kinda engine mounts would she use? she didn't know. just said a shop did it.. so i'm either putting calling BS or someone that has too much money and not enuf brains..

 

Either way the car is ruined

 

exactly.. what a waste

 

i know someone thats throwin an h22a in an integra. thats just as stupid right? are there any tegs with h22's runnin arround?

 

A B series motor might not be a bad choice for a 2nd or 3rd gen Prelude. A 170hp B18C in a 2700lb Prelude would be pretty peppy. But the B16 in particluar is not a good choice IMO. I can't imagine that the 1.6l B16 would be any significant improvement over a stock 2.0l or 2.1l Prelude non-VTEC "B series"...

Either way, you would need all kinds of custom fabrication to fit a DOHC VTEC B series motor and tranny in a Prelude...

Know that's a good idea, and people have done it. You really have to upgrade the suspension to get the handling right, but it flies in a straight line. Basically think of an integra with 200 hp and 160 trq.

 

Why would that be stupid when ur adding an engine with more horsepower than ur stock engine? Companies even make mount kits for H22 in an integra.

 

h22a in a integra isnt that bad of an idea. like above, suspension would need to be right, because integras are lighter than ludes and the weight ratio might be a little off. h22a is hella cheaper than a type-r for a teg..

 

Stupid? LOL... actually, theres a member here that is quite helpful, and before he retired it from the roads, I believe ticked off a mid-low 12 second run, N/A, with an H22A1 shoved in a teggie.

 

i guess, i personally, would rather work with a b-series motor in a teg. enough potential in them for me.

peace
