  1. 5th Gen
    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...

    I could not find information on which engine series and which specific engine is the most fuel efficient. Power does not matter only reliability is a killer - I mean if it burns 2l per 100km and breaks after 10.000km is it even worth mentioning? I am open to everything. B/H/F-Series or tuning of...

    Playing with the idea of buying a busted prelude and using a Honda IMA. Anyone experienced in this manner? It'd be an awesome daily driver but with the sleek, beautiful look of the prelude, especially since pop up headlights died a long time ago but I love modern technology. And old CRZ with...

    Hello. I have a problem with my base model 2000 lude. I finished my rebuild of the engine only a couple days ago. So far, things aren't going too bad. The car starts, it drives, but the only problem is that it has a P0335 (Crank sensor no signal) code - meaning I can't go above 3k rpms, along...

    Has anyone got experience with using 2nd gen gold top cams as i am able to source some for cheap. Only found one post from 2003 by nzluder but was wondering if im better off getting my cams reground instead. I am putting them on a b20a7. Did u see gains and did the car run fine on stock ecu?

    Hey guys I got a 1990 si with a jdm b20a black top. I just bought the car recently not starting thought I can fix it turned out to be low compression. I saw a b20a gold top pop up for sale near. I was wondering if it’s a direct bolt on my 3rd gen with the 5 speed I have.

    So I bought a 2000 auto Prelude with approximately 170,000kms a couple of months ago. The dude said it had "no compression" and burnt lots of oil. I bought it and got it into my garage. I decided that I would try to rebuild the engine and get the car back to decent condition. The only problem is...

    I was driving today and I noticed that the car would not rev quick. it would rev slowly towards 4k rpms. then it would make a “woo woo woo” sound. Any idea of what is going on? Any help appreciated! TIA. Streamable Video Then I drove home and revved it up to 4.5k from idle and the engine...

    4 days ago the engine seized while I was on the highway, today the car finally arrived at the shop, and when we started the engine it was shaking back and forth a lot, sounded like it was working with 2 pistons and there were loud bangs from inside. The oil dipstick barely touched any oil. So...

  12. Part Outs
    Asking $3k otd obo for the motor Maybe I'll find another prelude in need of some love with the money I get from the part out and just start over. I can't just leave it here or call a junk car service that will bring dishonor to my family. Haha. • KStuned Installed Balance Shaft Delete Kit with...

    So I recently brought my prelude into a shop after having issues only to find out I need a new short block. I don’t know if it’s worth it to revive the car or not and how to even go about it. Would it be better to do a whole engine swap or just replace the shortblock?

    My girlfriend has a 99 Honda prelude that has cruise control buttons on the steering wheel and I know it has the cruise control module in the engine bay but it doesn't have an on or off button. Any search says it should be where the fog light button is but it's not there. It didn't have a fuse...

    Husband decided to wash engine and now it shuts off within a minute or hesitates when trying to accelerate if it does happen to stay on.
  16. 3rd Gen
    Let’s say hypothetically, if I were to engine swap a 3rd gen 1990 Honda prelude. What would be one of the best and or the most affordable (doesn’t have to be dirt cheap just not above $9,000 or $10,000) engine to swap?

    Still hoping someone is parting out or can locate a lower timing cover for my 91 Prelude. It has the 2.05L motor. I need to get it back together. Any help would be appreciated! Alwaysidaho
  20. 5th Gen
    Hello, I'm rebuilding my 1999 Honda Prelude Type SH and live outside Philadelphia. I will be starting with the transmission and clutch and will then focus on the engine and finally the bodywork. I was wondering if anyone is from the tri-state area and had any good recommendations for where...
