A friend from work wants to swap a motor into his ~93 lude. He took a ride in my built GS-r'd hatch and fell in love(what can I say, LoL). So I immediatly thought of an H22, (He has the F23A, I believe), Would this be the appropriate route to go with him?

He is staying N/A, so no F/I for now, just a nice vtec swap...He has around 3k to drop, I can get the motor complete changeover for ~2100 w/LSD, and figuring in my labor, what price quote sounds reasonable?

Basically:
1: What motor is the best N/a route to go?
2: What is a good price quote for all things needed?
3: assuming we go H22A, what is standard price for this work?


Your thoughts please

 

okay, the best N/A motor would be the CTR or ITR motor, but that would not be right in a prelude, so i would say an h22 would do fine.

 

1. H22
2. You said $2100 for the complete swap.
3. $500

 

What I mean is are there going to be other issues(other than what can be expected with a swap?) Like do i need any other things like mounts or anything?

 

the swap is a straight mount in. the only thing you have to worry about is the wiring harness, and if you get a JDM engine you have to swap some of the accessory from the USDM engine onto the JDM. i believe this might be the same for all the engine swap. the motor mount are the same. good luck

 

easiest swap i have ever done

 

I will sell you an entire car for $2800. https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=417183 PM me

 

you people are so unoriginal. Fab somethin crazy in there. Everyone wants to be in the mags, but no-one wants to put a SR20 or something in their ride. Im speaking hypothetically of course, I think it would be hell trying to fit an SR20 into a lude. But there must be some strong FWD motors that can do the job. Or even a RWD motor that can be transversely mounted and mated to a FWD transaxle.

cheers

 

ok then give him your credit card

 

why spend all that extra money to fab up something retarded like that, when you can get a **** ton of power out of an H22 for what it would cost to fabricate some crazy **** like that

 

Well, With the general consensus being that of an H22a, The info has been passed to the owner and we will begin work in a week or so...

Thanks all....
