Default 1991 Prelude si ...what is a good swap

I need to know if this motor has potential. Its stock, its it worth putting money into rebuilding it. Or what would be a good motor swap. Please help..

turbo it. there are not good swaps for the 3rd gen w/o serious modification.

and i'm assuming since you are asking this question (which has been covered numerous times) you aren't up to the job anyways.

Well, what are you worried about then, stick a 350 in there and convert to RWD.

Cut a hole 2ft x 2ft under your seat, go buy some Nike Air Force 1's and run like you stole sometihn'

Drink a lot of RED BULL also. (Octane Booster)

im positive you have a B20. i think you should just build it up. it has major potential. it is a good strong motor. build it and turbo it. you will be happy.

You build it right with a turbo you can push 350whp+. Tony Baker over at preludepower.com is pushing 400whp or something around there.

Drop an H22. AZ Race is in the final production stages for H22 mounts in the 3rd Gen.
