alright i just picked up a 1991 prelude with the b20a5 in it. it has 173k on the motor. the shitty thing is the salve went the day i bought it so its in the shop til monday.. but i want to do the basics like the tune up now with plugs is there a better brand then another or is NGK a good one compaired to Bosh. also the wires whats a better brand to run... i am gonna do the fuel filer air filter but they dont really make a diffrence. now the only thing im gonna have the shop do after that is the master cyc. timing belt and water pump... anything eles beside the basic tuneup that i should look at.

 

Use NGK plugs and NGK wires. Use HONDA OEM fuel filter. Use HONDA OEM belts & pump.

Is it auto or stick?

 

standard i got stick of the auto and wanted a 5spd before i spends a money on a new car in the winter. aftermarket is diffrent why from honda

 

OEM parts are typical to honda's specs. The tolerances are tighter and I would say out perform/last any after market product of similar design

 

oops well then my slave cyc. aint a honda oem part o well **** happens.

 

Make sure you take care of the timing belt before anything and everything else is easy.

 

that was gonna be the first thing but like i said i got it thursday it ran fine all day then was going down the street put the clutch in and lost the slave so im gonna put the timing belt in next time a get paid so bout a month.... now the honda parts am i set if i went to autozone and got oem parts from them even though here not honda parts?

 

No No No. Do not buy parts at Autozone, except maybe clutches. You get HONDA parts at HONDA dealerships or warehouses.

I also recommend a CAI with K&N filter.

 

now what is a CAI i know what a K&N Filter is but not the CAI

 

Cold Air Intake.

 

ok that makes sence but im not a fan of them that and i live in new hampshire where we have rain snow and slush id rather have a short ram if i was to do one.

 

Are you familiar with Oklahoma weather?

Your fear of the CAI isn't completely logical. It actually takes a lot to get water onto the filter, if you've installed it correctly. But an SRI is simpler.

 

yeah but i have seen many motors honda ford and nissan get hydrolocked... and have u seen our puddles there like mini swimming pools...

 

NGK plugs I use and have never had problems with buy everything else genuine honda dont ask why they are just better parts

 

You'd know better than anybody. If you go CAI than install a bypass filter. Simple as that.

 

the bypass that is the filter between the cone and the PGM FI.

 

you'll also want to do a full valve lash adjustment.
and when you do the tbelt, please please please set the ignition timing the correct way. there is a very specific method of doing it on obd1 hondas that practically nobody follows because they dont know any better, but preludes are affected by doing it wrong the most.
i created a writeup on how to do it on a 3g lude:

also, the standard NGK plugs are the best plugs for your motor by far
