    Guys my intrusive thoughts are winning. I've worked on cars before but I've never done a full engine rebuild (let alone a drivetrain rebuild). I'm curious as to what I would need to do to convert my 1997 Honda prelude SH into rear wheel drive. Yes, I know it's gonna be expensive. Yes, I know...

    Hi I recently purchased a '97 prelude base 5 speed. I am new to owning hondas in general and i am interested to know what places other owners like to get parts from new, used, oem, or aftermarket performance. Not really looking into "building" the car more so just making it more comfortable to...

    I have a 1997 Honda Prelude SH with the h22a4 in it, and for some reason the alternator is refusing to send power to the battery. Both the alternator and battery tested good, the only thing I could think of next is a faulty ground wire possibly? Is there any other solutions/things I should also...

    Ok so for the life of me I can’t find anyone near me with another h22 that isn’t blown or want 1500 for it. I wanted to go turbo but I know my current engine can’t handle it, I’ve been looking into jswaps that’s honestly probably my cheapest option rn ironically but I wanted to ask the oh so...

    I've recently picked up a 5th gen Prelude (base, manual) with a H22A4 Engine. I'm just going to make this as straight forward as possible. The car runs completely normal when cold or on initial start up. After warming up to normal operational temperature I get swamped with a bunch of issues...

    I’m having trouble figuring out where this damn spring goes. Looked a lot online and couldn’t find anything other than the pin/spring that goes under the fork. I swear I remember taking it off somewhere near the clutch fork tho but I just need help, if someone knows it would be very appreciated.

    I am looking at the service manual, and I cannot find a name or description for the missing gasket I am pointing at in the pic. I have 2 valve covers, and the one I cleaned up (purple) is missing a rubber gasket/grommet on the top right side (feeds back to intake). It was ripped when I bought...

    It happened right after i hit a bump. Sounds exactly like a heat shield being loose, and its super loud, but i checked everywhere and nothing was loose underneath. What else could it be?
  9. 5th Gen
    Hello forum, I am currently building up my 1997 Honda Prelude Type SH for absolutely no reason other than I am young with no kids and have nothing else to spend my money on. Anyways I have done lots and lots of work on the engine so far; installed new steel sleeves, high compression 10.5:1...

    So I've been working on rebuilding my 97 Prelude Type SH for the past few years, I finally got her all put together and ready, checked the timing over 8 times while spilling it to verify it was good before throwing it all together and after fighting a fuel leak once I got to the point where I...

    So like other then headers and intake manifold I have pretty much every bolt on I can get what else can I do/add before I just have to move on to FI for more power options, also regarding ecu and tuning can I get my ecu chipped or use another Honda ecu to chip before i move on to standalone ecu...

    I purchased a 1997 Honda Prelude Type SH with 180k miles for $4,000 two days ago. The seller informed me the idle air control valve needs to be replaced. The codes I get when I plug in an OBDII are P0508 & P0505. I was wondering where a good place to purchase a new IACV is, as Rock Auto is out...

    Can anyone suggest a set of lowering springs so that I can lower it a little. thanks guys.
  14. 5th Gen
    I was just curious, has anyone tried seeing if the parts from the 6th gen EX accord’s digital climate control would work for a conversion? I can find the JDM climate control units everywhere but I can’t find any of the other parts and honestly it would just be so much simpler to just go to a...

    Hey there, I’m very new to working on suspension but I’m looking to replace my 5th gen SH front suspension and for the life of me cannot find any shocks for an SH model. Help in finding some would be much appreciated. I’m also based in BC for context. If there is anything I should keep in mind...

    So the carpet in my 5th gen is pretty scuffed and I wanna change it out so I was looking at some online and I found a place that has red carpet which would go with what I wanna do in the future anyway but it’s for the 4th gen. Would I still be able to use it even if it’s for the previous gen?

    Doing work on my h22z1, going through and finding where most of my oil leaks from. I have noticed a significant amount of oil buildup in and around the exhaust flex pipe. It burns off white after driving it hard or on a hot day. The oil seems to be heaviest at the point where the down pipe meets...
