Swapping a RB26DETT into a 92-96 Prelude

[NarutoRamen]

I think sombody already mentioned it, but i'll say it again. Prelude is a fwd car...and rb is for rwd or the badass GTR AWD system. So the only car it is good on in my opinion, besides skyline, is 240s. I don't like 300zx a lot.

just my

speaking of engine transplants into suzuki samurai's when i attended UTI i had an instructor with a samurai....with no engine under the hood! they managed to install a complete VW bug rear assembly including motor axles swingarms...and the bitch ran too.

If you need someone to do the swap you know where to find me. And why would you go rb25det over a rb26dett?

I just noticed I put tt, oops. Anyway, it weighs less and is more abundant I guess would be my reasons. More abundant means cheaper. That and I've heard it's an easier install. Also, where are you located. I'm in the Puget Sound area of Washington and I've heard there is a shop up here that has the engines.

Here is another Fast and The Furious fan. Good, I just hate watching "them" ruin our import coulture, and put a bad example for other people.....

thats funny i found this thread. i ran a search and this is the only thing i found. i too was wondering the same thing bcause today i was pointed out that this kids friend had put a skyline motor into his 4th gen lude. i have a 4th gen lude and was just wondering if this was bull or he really did it. i ask the guy to ask his friend to email me. so if i hear anything from him i'll be sure to post it. anything is possible w/ enough money i guess lol

you can't put in the sylvia engine into a front wheel drive car,
you're thinking of the gtir or bluebird dets those you can transplant.

many people have lusted after the light body of a crx with the power of the sr20det, i couldn't do it myself, kinda like putting a chevy engine into a ford car.
blasphemy

[ultraforce77]

yeah i know what u mean it don't seem right to me either. and i ask the guy again today and it was a supra motor he put into his prelude. so that was my bad i got those switched up.

it's retarded movies like fast and the furious that have people like this come out and say stupid things like this. i think if you have a honda stick to a honda motor same way as other car manufacturer. asking these types of question just gets you laughed at.

fast and furious was a terrible movie, yes. but that doesnt take away from the fact that it progressed the import scene. whether you like it or not. parts became more redily available and cheaper. and the biggest benefit of the fast and the furious was that it separated the truely dope cars from the jokes. after the movie came out everyone wanted a "2JZ Supra" well, 16 year olds cant afford a $25K car. so they all went to walmart to try and make their ford probes and dodge neons look like the supra they saw. opening the door up for you!

be creative! put an f-in' skyline engine into a lude! just make sure when youre done youve got a car load full of ladies while dusting off some dudes Cavaler or something...

Hey retard, theres a Sr20DET engine and an SR20DETT engine, the DETT engine has twin turbos, connotating the "TT" whereas the SR20DET is a single turbo engine.
