Ok so i have a 97 prelude with no engine about 4500 dollars to spend on a swap im thinking either the Type S swap, or a semi built head like with some fat *** cams hondata,or something. What would be best, a semi built h22 or a type s. Im also wondering if the Type S tranny is anything like the euro R tranny I say that because i know it has a stock LSD, and I might do the final drive.

 

For $4500 you could get an H22 swap for $1700, Type S Pistons for $300, Build and port the head/im for $1500, Then use the extra $1000 for Hondata and tuning and and LSD and have a better setup than you would if you would just get the Type s. Just my opinion.

 

if you searth Satan SRV did an awesome right up along time ago on every prelude transmission put into production in the world. check it out, it has side by side comparison of all the trannies.

man, you could get some better aftermarket cams than the type s came.. JUN or something...but i think that would fall under the build and port head thing... but for stock the type s cams are great..

 

to save you time and headache, do this:

get a complete Type S for 3500.
and a good header like smsp, mugen, DTR, ect...
pretty sure u'll get over 200whp.

say what? i thought for sure the S made at least 210 realistically?

 

well you thought wrong then....

you possibly could check out the search button, and find such useful threads as the tranny comparison, the dynos page, the camshaft thread, and the motor comparison....using said information, you just might be able to come up with a plan....

but who knows....

ps with a type s motor and a rmf/smsp header you will hit 210whp no problem....

 

or u can get a longer gear tranny.. like an f22 for cheap.. and an h22 longblock.. and use the extra G or 2 ya have left for boost.. its a heavy car..and im not a fan of it but boost gives more noticeable power in that body style lude.. just my opinion.. or go with the full type S swap.. no need in spending 1000-1500 to spec yours to a type s..

 

For the best over all driveability, comfort, reliability and not as many headaches, I would go with the Type-S or a Euro-R engine and call it a day.

But if you have the time to take on a cool project (may take weeks or months to complete) and the ambition to learn (nothing beats hands on experience) then by all means, go with the build...

Another option would be to get an F20B SiR 2.0L engine (has cast iron liners instead of FRM and has the Type-S head), put some low compression pistons and good rods in it and boost it at like 12-14 psi...
