Hi all, new to Hondas in general for the most part, last car left a bitter taste in my mouth but came across a car at what I feel to be a good price that isn't running well. I believe they didn't have the correct Ecu and calibration in the car so I ordered one to replace it and see if it squares away some of problem.

what I am having trouble finding is what oil to put in it, and what car to look up engine parts for...

if the Ecu straighten most of the running issues out like I'm hoping I will only really have a couple issues i don't like...

1. Can't figure out which oil to run and was planning on running Amsoil 5-40 unless that's just a bad idea..

2. Power steering... Car had prelude crank pulley installed when swapped and has pump etc and all lines connected but I cannot find info on which bracket I will need to bolt pump etc into its correct place.

3. Sunroof brackets or something seem to be broken doesn't move as it should with the switch. is there a common problem or fix for this of just find new brackets ect at a junkyard or the like....?

4. Car has a T2T4 trans that has a scrub/grind going into 2nd gear I have rebuilt many Manila transmission but not in a Honda or fwd vehicle. I feel I can manage this or at he least I will remove it and let someone do a bench build. However I haven't been able to find any parts etc for this trans... I am pretty positive it's a t2t4 because the gear ratios are close and it tunes pretty good rpm on the highway in 5th...

thanks in in advance to any and all that help... I have ask on two other forums last week and no one would volunteer much information.

 

1. Use an oil with zinc in it, and probably a 5-30 weight. I prefer Royal Purple HPS in my Prelude.

2. You should be able to use a bracket from an H22 Prelude, the H23 will work as well, but you have to cut a tab off the back to fit your head.

3. Junkyard sunroof assembly would be the best bet. There are shims to adjust the panel, but it sounds like a larger problem.

4. Syncrotech.

 

just curious to what ecu setup are you running?
i have 92 with f20b chipped p28 tuned on e85

 

Sunroof.. push it up while you press the button to open it ... I've been lucky in my preludes that this has worked - and more lucky that they closed fully afterwards.
