Hey, I'm restoring a 90 prelude and have come across a k20z3 swap. It has been done but not much was documented about it. Does anyone have any thoughts? ideas?
No idea ;-)So now the fab time is nil, the parts are available and he got the motor on the cheap, why wouldn't this swap be good to do?
I think you're underselling the K motor, as future-proof option it has far more going for it than the H.With some tuning this motor can easily make over 200hp and with bolt mods and tuning it can easily hit 220.
I see that as a(nother) reason to use ITBs, have to fit a hood scoop, make it worth it's existence for more than just clearanceThe hood is about the only downside, however, like I said earlier, we will deal with that when we get there. One way to reduce the required hood clearance is use the k24a intake manifold as it folds down, not up.
In fairness I think most would support this and help out if they can. The naysayers are obvious and have their own reasons for that.All in all, this swap will move ahead whether people think it is feasible or not, so I hope the third gen group is prepared. Fact is both tree and I are hoping that this third gen community will support this swap and provide some guidance and assistance if needed along the way.
Spell it either way.Jon(I tthink its spelled that way), you expertise and knowledge is also appreciated and though we have had our difference over the years, know that I have allot of respect fro you and your opinion.
At risk of upsetting you, you think more like I do than you might care to admit :lol:With all that said, keep the opinions coming, as I read them, ponder them and value them all as they help incite and provoke thoughts and ideas regarding this swap.
Same old crap Sean, you always, without exception, start this crap and get all upset when I respond in the same manner. If you tried sticking to the topic in hand instead of always trying to score points on me you wouldn't look so bitter and foolish.Ahemm... I have been helping a lot of people without compensation as well Jon, way before I started down the road of aftermarket, you are just forgetting all of that since you are so focused on always trying to be right and never once admitting you get just as personal as anyone else. And I still do I get the gambit of pms and emails and social media pms like most. So lets back down off that so called high horse of yours dude.
I have no idea, maybe you should tell me.Not really, anyone can bring something to market if they have the desire to do so. Selling is the easy part (just look at all the shit that sells by the millions for evidence), making something people (and can afford/justify) want is the hard part. - You sound a bit bitter here in this statement Jon. I wonder why??
No idea if/how it's cultural.. not even sure what 'culture' you are. But most people here understand me.- You see I think its the cultural difference between you and I, because you did not understand that I was referring to this debate between only you and I, not the OP. I only stated to the OP that this is not a supported swap and it will be expensive and non supported meaning if something breaks, he has to recustomize everything all over again. That was my point. I gather you did not key into that while reading.
This is where we have a problem, you're technical/engineering knowledge is sadly lacking in comparison with many people here, the person who seems to be doing this swap included.Try not to forget that this is a discussion forum for like-minded people, not just a market place for some. - I have never forgotten that Jon, I simply dont agree with letting people jump off a cliff without being informed. You have your way and I have mine. Ok...good moving on...
:lol:Now can we dispense with the attacking my posts
Well in that case you could answer the questions I've asked you instead of getting in to the personal crap. But as is often the case you never actually reply to genuinely helpful questions. :rolleyes2:and be of better support to the OP.
So stop then, it's real easy if you have the desire.I know they love to see our arguing but it is boring me now.
Hey thanks everyone for the input on this topic, I'm fairly new to the Honda community, fuck I bought 2 of them lol it appears that his has been thought of before. I have come across a rare opportunity where the price was right and what better way to spend some money and push the envelope.
Same old crap Sean, you always, without exception, start this crap and get all upset when I respond in the same manner. If you tried sticking to the topic in hand instead of always trying to score points on me you wouldn't look so bitter and foolish.
I get personal if you try to insult me, that's your choice.
I'm not at all focused on being right, it's just hard not to be when you're the one arguing.
And I like my high horse, it helps me look down on you.
I have no idea, maybe you should tell me.
Just so as you know, I'm not in the slightest bit bitter, why the hell would I be? I'm just stating a fact.
I suspect you're going to wow us with your great salesman prowess (lol) and I'm meant to be envious of it..... I really have no idea wtf you're going on about. Just looks like another attempt to fog the issue.
No idea if/how it's cultural.. not even sure what 'culture' you are. But most people here understand me.
I was (and still am) trying to keep the conversation about the thread's topic, you took it off course as usual. I'd say if you don't want to discuss the swap here then don't, if you want to throw petty insults at me then choose a better method/place.
This is where we have a problem, you're technical/engineering knowledge is sadly lacking in comparison with many people here, the person who seems to be doing this swap included.
You're telling someone they shouldn't do something based solely on the fact that it's a not a mass market kit or one that you support. It's been said before when you've nay-sayed other's ideas, if that was the case no-one would ever do anything unique or progressive.
I really don't see any cliffs being peered over here, let alone jumped off.
:lol:
So you can attack me but I'm not allowed to counter your on-topic comments that are unhelpful to the op? Hypocrisy is never far away.
Well in that case you could answer the questions I've asked you instead of getting in to the personal crap. But as is often the case you never actually reply to genuinely helpful questions. :rolleyes2:
So stop then, it's real easy if you have the desire.
