Hello all i am kinda a newbie eh....but ok this is the thing...my friend from colorado is selling me his 92 prelude SI...well its a salvage title and it needs a front bumper, side skirts and all for 2800....im more then ready becuz my other prelude which was a 93 SI just died....i think i know some what about cars but like full mechanics and all when it comes to tuning is gone...like the car he is selling me has a dc header..greddy exhaust...and AEM intake....so what should i get with it next....if im right its the h23a engine but i could be wrong...somewhere i read about buying the h22 block or head or something and making it a hyrbid...so can i get some advise or some suggestions please....THANX

i'm not really an expert on preludes, but from looking around on the forum here i'd say that if you wanted to do a swap, the jdm h22a would be the most powerful engine... i'm not sure if it'll fit in your car tho.. you'd have to ask the prelude experts

[KidBlizzard]

thanx...i dunno bout it though becuz i already have the h23a and that would be a waste on money i figure

[DeleriousZ]

yeah, i'm not too sure of the number on that engine, but i know the jdm h22a from the 97-01 type S puts out 223 hp and 163 ft. lbs... i'm sure that'd be at least a 20 hp gain, plus you'd have a relatively new engine (depending on how many k's on your engine you have right now) it all depends what your goals are

[KidBlizzard]

just basically show like i dont want to go too extreme but i like a lill show and go

[DeleriousZ]

well, a type s h22a will definitely look good under the hood, and it will give you plenty of kick. i'm not too sure about the fit of the engine tho... i'll look into it

[KidBlizzard]

thanx man...so someone told me to go out and just buy a turbo so im kinda lost on all that also

[Ace$nyper]

you can also just put the H22 head on with some work *dont think its drop on!!!* you can turbo it too.

[DeleriousZ]

it all depends on what your goals are man.. are you gunna make it a super fast car and have lots of time and money to spend on it.. or do u just wanna set it and forget it?

if you've got lots of time and money, you can build up the internals and turbocharge it (the H series don't have the strongest internals.. but meh, what can ya do)

if you just want to set it and forget it... you can do a jdm h22a swap. they're sturdy engine's with plenty of kick and look damn good under the hood

whats gonna be cheaper in the long run? the head work or the new engine? like i got money just not limitless lol...and ive been told that the h23 has the more tourque that i need and the h22a would help me in high end...what u guys think? and what kind of work entales to doing the head work like u said? like how much and all....
