I have two questions, I have an 89 civic hatchback and my brother has an 88 prelude we were wondering if I could put the motor from a 91 eagle talon tsi in the civic if it is any bit possible. If so what would I meed from the talon. My brother wants to know if it would be possible to put the 6 cylinder motor from an acura vigor in his prelude, if so what would he need. Any bit of help would be much appreciated

 

Start off by getting a tig welder, reciprocating saw, a shop......

You gonna be doing some fabbing fo sho

 

Are the swaps possible

 

Are the swaps possible

 

Define "possible". With enough manpower, patience, ingenuity, and vast sums of cubic dollars, just about anything's possible.

But that Talon engine ain'y ever going in your Honda.

it's been done before, i member seen someone's honda here on honda tech wihth a talon motor, atleast i think i remember

 

Oh, I'm not saying it can't be done. I'm saying I don't think this guy's gonna do it.

Besides, the Vigor didn't come with a 6-cylinder. It's a crap-tacular 5-cylinder, a la the old Audi 5000. It's arranged north-south, too, not a transverse layout. It's truly the bastard child of the Honda engine families.

CAN a Talon-into-Civic swap be done? Sure it can. CAN a Vigor-into-Prelude swap be done? Again, most assuredly. But that doesn't mean that either of them SHOULD be done...

So what is a good swap for the prelude

 

i thought the vigor was 5 cylinder?

 

the vigor is a 5 cylinder, the Legend is a 6 cylinder. Engine code c32 or somthing like it...

 

Canadian crack must be delicious

 

Just get a talon

 

wierd. u should jus by a ls motor for ur hatch and get some nice rods and turbo it if thats why u want the motor but u cant do awd on a hatch unless u wana do some serios custom ****
