Swapping a RB26DETT into a 92-96 Prelude
I have a 93 Prelude and am wanting to know if a RB26DETT engine swap is possible. Ive never heard of anything like this and am wondering if anyone has heard of it or knows what would need to be done to make this swap possible.

That question shows just how sorry Ohio is, especially Cincinnati. No one here knows ANYTHING.

Oh it can be done. Anything can be done with the right amount of $$ but is the hp/trq gain vs. the price and headache? Not to mention the stability of a Honda w/ a big ass RB26DETT. Overall............it's a dumbass idea. You want to do something creative and dangerous??? Slap the RB26 in a Geo.

these types of questions are what makes everyone else hate on import builders, this is just ridiculous, not only will it cost 10x as much to fabricate everythign to work, especially converting the drivetrain to RWD, but making a longitudally mounted engine fit in a horizontal engine bay is just ridiculos.
if ya have a prelude, spend you money on an h22 swap.

rwd...tube chassis....fiberglass prelude body would be the easiest route.....im guessing you just want straight line performance. anything can be done with the right amount of money. lots of cutting...fabrications....r&d will have to go into making your prelude able to handle the RB. but like is aid tube chassis and a fiberglass body is the only way i would ever do it. if you got money too spend to do womething like that....why not just buy a skyline already.

 give the guy a break, we've all had funny ideas like that at one point or another. It's a legitimate question if you aren't very knowledgeable on the logistics of things along those lines. Then again i've seen people fit a 4.3hp v6 in a suzuki samurai. so anything is possible
