I have a 99 Prelude with no engine in it and I also have a 96 Integra GSR that runs great but the body is screwed.
I still haven't found anyone who has swapped a B18 engine and trans into a Prelude before, but I assume that since I've seen it done in CRX's and Civic's that it CAN be done in a prelude also.
Have you guys heard of anyone swapping a B18 engine and Trans into a newer model prelude before? If so, Would this be an incredibly difficult swap or would it pretty much be a simple swap like it is putting it into a civic?

And before someone says it, I know the H22 has more HP and is a stronger engine and a better choice to put back in the Lude, but the GSR engine and trans are readily available as well as a 99 Prelude with no engine or trans.

Thanks.

 

dont waste your time. Too much work and not even worth it at all.
You're better off trying to sell the b18c1 and buy an h22 with that money.
B18 trans is linkage and H22 trans are cable. Right there you have to do custom work. And as far as i know, they dont make mounts to put a b series into preludes.
Displacement wise your dropping it by 0.4, that gsr motor is going to drive like *** in a huge heavy body.

 

get an h22 and swap it and call it a day, other wise ull be stepping in a lot of ****

 

itd never work

 

Thanks guys. Sounds like a plan. I appreciate all the help.

 

just get a H22, b18 is just too much work

 

not worth it.
