looks pretty clean but i'm not a big fan of altezza tail lights. i recently got a 95 Si SE and i'm hoping to do a turbo h23 build too. i'm currently saving for a new motor and transmission. turbo is far down the list after the motor/trans swap, full audio system, coilovers/full suspension, new shoes, and a possible 4WS conversion. this is my 3rd prelude, i had a 91 Si 4WS and a 98 base so this one i'm taking my time with to get everything right where i want it before i dump a ton of money into a full build.
Thanks!! I just got rid of a Eclipse GST so I'm hungry for boost. The Altezza came w/ the car so, either I'm gonna go black out or OEM, haven't decided yet.
not a problem at all. as soon as I add something I will post. I have a set of egay coilovers that I need to put on, but I think I need to get new shocks first bc it road like complete and utter shit, like I start driving down my road (which is very bumpy anyways) and my front right side just goes to shit.
well...if you're wanting to save for boost...blacked out would be a cheaper choice. i'm just happy that my 95 SE is BONE STOCK so i dont have to worry about any rice removal...lol.
My friend blacked his out they looked really good. He copied me lol.
Get some VHT Night Shade at your local automotive store to black them out. Sand them with some very fine sand paper, one light coat, one clear coat, and repeat. Dont go to black other wise when you turn your lights on at night they are so dim you get pulled over.
^Me and my friend did that to my taillights, sidemarker, and his foxbodies taillights. We didnt clear in between each coat and they turned out fine. Excpet I need to buff mine still.
What do you guys would think be better. H23Vtec, H23 Boost, or just straight H22?
I figured the H23Vtec I wouldn't really have to worry about tuning.
I would rather dothe H23 Turbo'd, and I only play on running 8lbs, would I be okay just running without a tune?
I love boost so much... but dont know if that would be a good route. That and what would be a good tuning program?
If I do the H22, but I really don't have access to a engine puller.
I figured with the H23vtec, I could just swap everything over and get an ecu.
Here are the pistons before and after. I have one more left to do. Its wanting to be a pain in the ass. Will post pictures of block and pistons installed tomorrow once I get down with it.
well I was gonna have my car fixed after Christmas until my fiance's car got jealous and now it wants a new torque converter. So now, once again, My lude is on the back burner until tax time.... -_-'
oh and not to mention we only have two cars, and she is about to have our third child in about two weeks....
How are you going to spin the engine if you only have the head? i mean, you cant adjust them all at the same time... you need to do it in order... Find TDC and all that... i dont see it working... why would you want to do that anyway?
so I have something to do lol. Im waiting for the crankshaft to come to the parts store. and I figure'd the only thing I needed to spin was just the valves, so I could just move the camshafts. the whole engine is out of the car.
You can do it, that way. Just follow the order, and see the lobes to imagine tdc of the pistons to set those clearences. Use the camshaft Marks. I guess it could be done. I made a tutorial somewhere on here on how to adjust them.
Got the crank, pistons, and everything in the block put into the bay. We actually don't have a lift so we just lowered the car onto the block lol...
p.s. Yes I know there is still sludge on it, but I figured I can get the rest off once I get it running, and go to the car wash and use their degreaser.

honestly I think so too, but with it being like 25 degrees and using a pressure washer, I was getting tired of cleaning it after about the 4th hour lmfao... soo it kinda rounds up to laziness. it will be alright though, lol
Everything on the head is torqued down. Just need to do cams, timing, completely bolting up the intake, mount on the exhaust(pray to god it fits), do a valve lash, turn the ignition . That will be the to-do list tomorrow here is a few pics for everyone
