cost and ease of install on a h23a into a 3gen lude

need to know what it would cost for a h23a motor...
it is lakemountludes, he is gonna post the specs...
good price for it would be???
and i need n idea as to how hard it is to put one in a 3gen, if it comes with ecu etc....



so.... what is a good price, and what would it involve to adapt it to my si tranny (89 si) and how hard would it be to interface with the comp???

thanks

My h23a1 is in perfect condition.. ill have pics up soon.. but it has a brand new clutch, brand new flywheel, brand new aluminum radiator, dc sports cold air induction, new water pump and belt, changed oil every 2500 miles, alwyas had coolent.. it will come with ecu and everything! i also have brand new plugs and shit that will go with it...

I have that done to my car.. I run mid 14's with I/H/E and ecu.. it's pretty damn fast becuase our cars are so light... the install was pretty easy to I mean I didn't do it but it wasn't that bad and with all the new stuff he's added on to it, it seems worth it.

one of my good friends did the same thing to his lude and he told me it was fairly simple install and a good price would be around 1400 in good condition.. its a nice lil motor - almost makes me want to get a prelude

sounds right to me.... hell i paid 1500 and i had to put a new clutch in it..

i just need to know how hard the install is...
like will i lose anything (ac, power steering)
or will it just drop in...
do i have to modify alot of stuff???
that is what i m needin to know???
i dont doubt anyone, i just need to make sure that it is an easily feasible install...

thanks though

to me it was a very feasible install.... no no no AC and everything stays.. i am in a prelude club and there are two 4th gens of which are hybrids, one with an h23 and 1 with a b16 (civic motor) and the h23 was running a 14.6 which isnt too bad, the other hybrid i think was running a 15.6 or something like that.. hope i could help let me know if ya need to know anything else, i might even be able to hook you up with my friend who has had it done

what is involved in the install... mods and whatnot...
i need to know how difficult it is to do...
what all i need... let me know, b/c i would love to do this... more than trying to rebuild... thanks

well like i said i didnt do it.. but when i asked the people who did it how it was they said it was extremely easy.. man today i raced a damn teg! whooped em.. boy was he surprised when a 3rd gen spanked him lol... as far as mods go.. get an intake, cams, and possibly ecu and youll be fine for a while :).. lemme know if ya have any other questions

so how did it go? what did ya end up doing.. you didnt reply to my email so i figured you went ahead and bout it or aborted.. let us know the prelude forums are slow!! hehe

you should get my email... i dont know what im gonna do. i m really damn confuzed now. so i am just gonna let it all soak in right now. and i think i might have warped some shit b/c the rad is fukked up... dunno. no good. ill be around.

hey
my motor is trashed... need a new one pronto...
does the h23 w/ about 80k mi sound good?
i can get it with tons of the necessary parts...
lemme know....
i trust lakemount, i just want opinions...
and i need em soon!!!
swap should be w/in the next two wks...

I say definately go for the h23 asap as long as he changed his timing belts.. even if he didnt you can always do it but hell make him do it and its cheaper.. i think when i talked to him tho he told me he changed the belts and the pumps so you are in perfect shape.. and the mileage is fine, actually better than good cause that is wayyyy below average for a 94 lude! when you get it (if you do) tell me how ya like it!
