can a VTEC motor b swapped into a 89 prelude. preferably the H22??? ive never heard of it being done. looking at the car, the tranny almost looks identical to the H22 tranny. the shift linkage looks the same, motor mounts r in the same locations, even the clutch slave cylinder looks the same. but has anyone done it???? its not my car, local kid asked me about it, so i thought id look into it.

 

There is a guy here that swapped a H22 into his 91 Prelude. I don't know the specifics on the mounts and such. But according to the owner, the car pulls a lot better, but he lost some handling due to the weight increase of the motor. I don't know if that's BS or not, cause he can't really drive anyway.

 

do u ever talk to him??? if so, try to get some specifics. i dunno if i wanna tackle on this car anyways. 90% of the swaps done in this town r done by me. anyways any info would b appreciated. thanx.

 

Wait wait wait, your telling me people pay you to work on their cars and your trying to gain info from people you dont even know are a reliable sorce? Please for the sake of all import enthusiats....hit the books and do some real research.

 

b series and h series are different..... <U>H</U>22 .....somone around here wanted to do it though, dont know details sorry

 

show me these "books" that give specific information that show how to swap an h22 into an early prelude

honda-tech has some of the most intelligent people that have ever touched a honda.
if you cant find the information here, you wont find it at all.

 

gotcha

read the post u stupid ****. it says "NEVER HEARD OF THIS". that means ive never heard that its been done, therefor no info avail as of yet.
yes ppl pay me. look at my sig dumbass.....12.6 UNTUNED on pump gas, thats exactly y ppl come to me. i built it myself.

 

I don't see him around much, but I will try and get some specifics from the shop that did the work. I believe that the shop rewired the car as well to use the H22 ecu. I'll IM you when I get the info.
