hey im new to this and just wanna kno wat the hell can i do with this motor is it any good, i have it just sittin around and dont kno wat to do with it, its from a 91 prelude si, if anyone can help plz do, much appreciated

 

nothing is good on it, unless you plan to put it in another 91 prelude si, the only thing you can use is the crank, put it in a b18a/b and turn it into a b20, other than that...its worthless

 

is it possible, for it to fit into a civic, and if so y is it not any good, its a b-series, i thought they were all good

yeah, you can. The thing with that motor is that almost everything about it is NOT interchangeable with other B series motors. I don't know why, but its the bastard motor that honda should never have built. The specs on it are well below those of a b20b or z, and the cylinder walls are generally considered too thin to boost safely without aftermarket sleeves.

Just as an example about how freakishly obscure the motor is:
My roommate has the same motor in his prelude. We live near Winnipeg and winter is cold here (Canadian cold, not ***** *** American cold ). He bought the car without a block heater but figured it didn't matter cuz he would just get one from the dealership. They don't have them anymore. No worries, a trip to autozone will fix that! They don't have them. Canadian Tire? They don't have them. Everywhere else on earth? They don't have them. Luckily I found out about aftermarket oil pan heaters, but you get the idea. Because there weren't many of those motors made and they're all over 15 years old, Honda has run out of parts for them and only a few manufacturers make a few parts.

It's not possible to drop this motor into a Civic without alot of custo fabrication. It won't drop in. And Hasport doesn't make a mount kit. Bottom line: there are just so many easier and better engine choices that you can make.

 

hey thanks alot u guys, i just donated the car, lmao
