    So I have just completed the swap of a h23a into a 95 prelude and am having some issues getting it to run right. First off, it idles extremely low. It does not surge, just when it is cold starts at like 1k then works it way down to around 500. The bigger problem is while driving at lower rpms...

    Wassup bros? I was just trying to get an input on if everbody elses tensions like this. Mite be dumb but whatever. I just feel like its kinda self adjusting itself tighter once it hits about 3k rpm. So ive been asking tons of shit lately because i spun a rod bearing in the ol h22 and every...

    I have a 92 prelude si with 210k miles on it and I recently just blew my timing belt and since my motor is an interference engine I bent my valves and all kinds of good shit and mechanic says to rebuild its going to cost 2200$ so I think I'm either going to buy a h23a vtec or an f20b vtec or...

    What throttle body gasket did you guys use?? the h22 one is not only too small, but due to the FITV, it doesnt seal the jdm throttle body up right. S2000 one work? or did you just make your own? is there a throttle body similar to h23a that will work? (65mm and no FITV) Thanks! and by the...

    okay.. sorry if this is obvious, but i would like some clarity. I have a type sh and im wanting to drop a jdm h23a vtec and t2t4 lsd tranny in. Now since i have the ATTS in the way ill have to rip that out and buy base axles and intermediate shaft in place of it, correct? Now my question is...

    Okay, So here begins my adventure in the world of engine swaps. I've got a sh with a blown motor. thrown rod. too much mileage to keep the trans so I'm going with a JDM swap. I've done a lot of reading and its all about spaced out so I wanted to come to the board here for some confirmation and...

    So the motor swap is done. I was expecting more power, but to be honest. I'm not sure if it feels stronger. I'm still using my stock ecu. It drives fine, vtec engages, pulls just as hard as my old h22a4 just not really sure... but at over semi high rpms, the CEL blinks indicating misfire, then...
  17. ECU Tuning
    I have a 96' Prelude with an h23 vtec swap in it from the accord wagon in japan. Now since the engine didn't come with an ecu, i had to use my p14 from my h23 non vtec. It runs good but throws a cel that says all 4 cylinders are miss firing. The car does not feel like it miss fires at all. Since...
