build

Hello! I have a 1999 Honda Prelude base model with the 2.2 liter H22 a4. I have the automatic transmission. I would very much like to put a turbo in my car, but I need to know how much torque the stock transmission* can handle if it’s built. I already know there’s more to it than that, I just...

I’m new to the whole car world. Never did a build and I’ve been looking at a 88 prelude by my home all stock SI. Need help on knowing where to start when learning about tuning.

My name is Daniel, and I am a mechanic of 20 years specializing in Honda. I have driven all types of Hondas but my favorite Honda has got to be the 5th Gen Prelude - They are just fun to drive and do almost everything well. A couple years ago I found a mechanic special and against my wife's...

This will be a slow build but I've done a lot to my 1989 Prelude. One reason why Prelude is not only my 1st model car but also I bought this when my grandma died. Every time I'm inside the car I always remember her and feel same. But above all the reason I enjoy driving the car so I decided to...

I have a 92 prelude S and I absolutely love the car, except it's obvious that the engine is getting a little tired. By the end of the summer I want to either rebuild it or replace it. My end goal for the car is to throw a turbo on it, since I absolutely love the prelude platform and would swap...

Hey guys. So I haven't posted on here for a while due to school and the Lude being in storage, but now that I'm finished it's time to get back into Luding. for those who don't know I own a 1990 Honda Prelude SR (I swapped in 4WS) with the B21a1. about 4/5 years ago in highschool I attempted to...

Hey guys, I recently (finally) started work on the engine I plan to use to replace my worn out b21. I'm piecing together parts at the moment, and the block/crank/rods are at the machine shop as we speak. Basically what I want to do with this motor is overbuild it slightly, so I can have the...

Hey guys, so the B21a1 is definitely and finally toast at 357'000 kms :/ it runs and revs, but it's got a pretty serious knock in the bottom end, so it's time for me to start thinking about building a real engine. I'm in school now so I won't be building for at least 8 months, but I want to...

Hello, My name is Mike and I'm from British Columbia, Canada. I was asked to make a build thread as I was nominated for Prelude of The Month and I should have started this thread many years ago but better late then never right? hah. I'll update this as much as I can with better photos and...

Hey guys, I'd like to share with you the progress on my baby since from when I got it in 2011. It was my second car and my first real project. It is always a work in progress, which is quite slow at the moment due to my university student budget. I got the car in the end of 2011, completely...

alright here's the low down, blew the headgasket on my f22a1 with 152,xxx. it was running great before it happend. i had a small dsm turbo setup on it pushing about 5-6 psi daily, 9-10psi weekends. compression showed 185 across the board. Sooo i was thinking, it's time to step it up a bit. I...

I will be putting in a built B20a5 shortblock with a B21a1 head and intake, then a turbo system. I will post explinations as I go. As I build or mod, I will post photos. I will try to be as comprehensive as I can. Like it, hate it, you decide. This all-stock 91 California car is what I am...

sorry for being too lazy to search more thoroughly. i want a list of parts i need to boost a b20a5 around 10-15 psi and be close to around 350-400 whp. i know forged h23 rods. would i have to get pistons made if i bore it .020 over? what company would be less expensive but also have quality...

alright so im pretty sure this question has been asked many times before and that i will get sh*t for asking it but i am gonna ask anyways. what should be done to obtain nice hp and will not require converting to race gas. ive done some reading on other post similar to this but no one really had...

making some big plans for my prelude its going to be a long term project and im looking to get some input on my ideas. Right now i have a stock 1994 prelude si with the h23a1 in it and a manual 5speed. so heres my thoghts, i currently have an awsome turbo setup for my car sitting in my apartment...

Well I'm gettin close to boosting this thing so I thought I would start a build thread. Engine Specs: darton mids stock crank, just polished and balanced eagle h beams rods cp 10:1 pistons acl calico coated bearings fresh rebuilt head all new oem gaskets Mods: currently hondata s300, running...

Before I ask my question, I think i should give a little background info on my lude. So-I've got a 1992 Prelude Si with H23a1 (non-VTEC) engine and all, and later found a complete H22a4 (VTEC) engine for $50 from a shop. A friend and I made a frankenstein out of the DOHC VTEC H22a4 head on the...

so i realize i am not a very active member of this site although i love it dearly. i recently purchased a 4ws parts from a member on here and i know prelude 3g has the information on the swap but my problem is the parts links he has on there are no longer available if someone could help me with...
