Im quite new to this car scene thing and I was just wondering how much would it cost and what parts I will need to do this swap? thing being is that I found a nice cheap prelude, 94-auto-and only 64km! for only 10,000 NZD! thats about 4500 USD

 

you're looking @ at least 800-1000 worth of parts. Price varies depending on the parts you're getting, labor should be around 700 bucks. This is a rough estimate.

 

A good shop that really does quality work can charge up to $2500, doing it yourself is a real mission and a half... I personally am going to pay the extra money to get it done right the first time by people I highly trust to do it.

 

If I'm reading your post right you want to swap an auto prelude engine into a manual (?) first off the manual to auto thing? why... stick with manual. Second an H22a you can get for like 3k. labor to put it in is kinda exspensive on that swap. since that is a difficult swap to do. i'd guess anywhere from 1000 to 1500. I know the guy that put my B18c1 in says he charges 2000 for the labor on that swap.

 

no no no u got it wrong my situation is that I found an auto prelude and I want to make it manual, thats all :D

 

if you were local i would do it for you for 2000

 

heheh dont think so d00d, im here in New Zealand

 

Well for the 2000 it would cost to do it why not find a better lude? or are they rae over there?

 

well a 4th gen vtec manual prelude with low k's is pretty hard to find, but u find alot of auto ones though :/
