Wowwww, I want to buy it so I can be the PreludePower JDM SiStates B21a (non frm) whore =P

 

[CADster]

are all SiStates automatic and dk green ?

 

[Ludasaurus]

auto yes...dark green, i honestly have no clue

 

[JDM_89LUDER]

All the ones I've seen here are.

That's a nice "slight" dent over the right rear wheel there, otherwise that thing is clean. You could probably get it cheap. Nice find though.

 

[dumped91lude]

it is nice just get that dent out and it would be really clean

 

[deiz91si]

u should make it manual =]

 

[evoludersir]

wouldn't it be kind of weird owning the same exact exact car? but hey if you do buy it you would be the Si states whore. more power to you.

 

[cgm12mgc]

yeah it would be difficult to decide which you would drive that day.... it would be even stranger if the mileage was about the same.... well anyways, buy it!

The JDM b21A is still FRM just like the US ones

 

[Prelude of Red]

She looks nice, but the "automatic" part is about the only flaw. The dent is minor.

 

[AYRTON]

fark si-states..

get a si-tcv!!

Really? Have you opened one up?
I've got one that I havn't opened up yet, I want a solid answer.

Wrong. kthxbai. lol.

 

[b20luda]

Yes i actually have a JDM b21A and i have taken it apart and it IS FRM!! If you think about it why would honda have differed the 2? One of the main reasons honda did FRM on the b21 is because they needed a strong material to hold upto the thinner cylinder walls associated with the b21's bigger bore size (83mm) b20a is 81mm so ya... kthxbai...

Well that's troubling info for me....
I just got the engine, and it didn't blow any smoke at all plus all that I have read on here. I was going to slap on a junkyard turbo kit on it along with my ludespeed mani + dp.
Fuck.

Then why do so many people believe the b21a has no frm, and why dont they blow smoke after way more km's than a b21a1? :Rock:

 

[b20luda]

i think its just rummored that way and everyone wants to believe that...FRM is actually stronger than the b20a's cylinder wall construction...its just FRM limits the types of pistons/rings u can use and for some reason honda didnt get the ring type right or something as this is the only motor i really see that has this smoking problem all the other FRM motors they dont smoke like this one...they do use oil dont get me wrong but u cant see it... I had my US spec b21a1 sleeved for 300 bucks at my local machine shop i havent had one problem ( im 83.5mm bore) the sleeves i used are a high nickel cast iron....i will snap a few pics for ya guys if someone is willing to host them...

You can upload them to your Prelude Power Garage, or use a image hosting site such as www.imageshack.us
I'd be very interested in seeing them.
My local machine shop wants $2400 Canadian to re-sleave....
For that price, might as well send the block to Darton or Golden Eagle.
