Lets gather some info on doing a v6 swap into the prelude..... - Honda-Tech here is what i have found and i am still looking, its like every day i keep getting closer, found a rolling shell of a prelude and getting all the other parts will be soon

I wouldn't try to do it. For the same amount of money I could drop an H23, turbo it, and probably be faster...

capslock20 · 01-15-2009, 09:39 AM

you could, cause alot of people have done that, see once this is done and i put the pic online. wow i have looked and looked and i can find much, one guy did a v6 sho from a ford in a lude but thats all i have found so it will be one of a kind. sorry you have to much hate for this swap

it's not hate for the swap. it's hate for a stupid idea. everybody has an idea to be original, then they try it, fail, and come back and say, "man i shoulda just done xxxx swap".

people do shit repetitively for a reason, it works the best. when you get beat by a turbo h22, that someone spends less than $4,000 are, are you really going to look at them and say, "at least i'm original". no....do what is going to make you go the fastest for the least amount of money.

anytime anybody mentions being original, i always get a chuckle remembering "good will hunting".

"hey, but at least i wont be unoriginal"

great movie one of my fav. what i love about working on cars, you can do whatever the hell you to a car its your time its your money so who is there to stop you, my cuz is trying to put a zx14 motor in a geo and turbo the hell out of it get 500hp so he says by what he has looked up, and its will be in a 1000lb car, if he gets it done awesome killing most cars on the streets here. and ya it works to put a h22 or whatever else you like, and sure this to most ppl dosen't seem worth the time to try this swap, but it is the kind of thinking to do something no one else is doing that got man flying and on the moon, cuz there is always someone who will say "thats dumb dont wast you time" and there is always someone that will do it.

tegman88 · 01-15-2009, 10:31 PM

what everybody needs to understand is that theres people that follow by the rules and guidelines set by every body else and then there are people that want to do something different be the first to something i know im one of those people i love to do stuff outside of what everyone else does so what we need to do instead of telling him its stupid it wont work encourage him and tell him he can cause if we dont everybody will keep doing the same thing and then we wont have anything to look foward to in the future
so capslock20 hurry up and start on this thing and make a thread to show your progress i would really like to see this thing together it should be a monster

I doubt it will kill much of anything since it won't have any traction. Maybe he can use it for burn-out contests...

But putting a V6 engine into a Prelude won't get you to the moon. It will just get you a car that's somewhat unique, but will still get walked on by turbo 4 cylinders...which were probably built for cheaper...

your words fall on deaf ears.

you can spend 1000 hours and $6000 to run a 13.5 or you can spend 20 hours and $3000 and run a 13.0.

the answer is pretty easy for me when i see the numbers. i'll take winning a 1/4 mile race by .5 over being original any day.

get_nick · 01-16-2009, 10:51 AM

if you want to be original, put an sr20det in it. rwd, more power, turbo.

capslock20 · 01-16-2009, 03:07 PM

i really couldn't care less about winning like it was said before there is always something faster, i do it cause i love to work on car, and to have fun, so read your own word about deaf ears. you and brutalb86 have already made your point so why do you keep posting??

capslock20 · 01-16-2009, 03:07 PM

that would be nice, i'll save that for something else.

Calesta · 01-16-2009, 09:11 PM

I say go for it- adapt the J3x C3x kits for the Civic bodies and put one into your Prelude. I still want to try and tub out a Civic to throw an LS1 in it... but that's been done already too.

capslock20 · 01-17-2009, 12:53 AM

thanks for the support

the civette

stampertodd · 07-19-2009, 08:32 PM

your best bet is the j32 engine for alot of reasons. your goin to need an ecu and many other parts but as for auto or manual u will have to track down a manual tranny whih will b annoying. and i would leave it NA, i doubt u will b able to stuff forced induction into the bay. besides the power to weight ratio will b good enough as is and it will b cheaper and more efficient to keep it NA. anymore ?s, ill give u more details

stampertodd · 07-19-2009, 08:35 PM

oh and hasport is currently working on the v6 mounts for the 4th gen. they should b out eventually. they do have mounts for a k24 swap if ur interested in somethin easier and cheap. hell of a lot more cost effective

stampertodd · 07-20-2009, 01:05 PM

may be faster but they dont have as much base grunt to start with. bigger platform=bigger base to make bigger gains

stampertodd · 07-20-2009, 01:09 PM

f!@$ nissan. this is a honda forum. eat, breath, live and die honda. and if u want it to b rwd then put an s2k motor and tranny in it then forced induction

stampertodd · 07-20-2009, 01:13 PM

ur gay. if u want to build a nissan go post there. this is a honda forum. drop and s2k powertrain in it if u want it to b rwd douche, it would b easier and more reliable. aside from that u could make more power cheaper.

stampertodd · 07-20-2009, 01:16 PM

turbo 4 would get eaten by a turbo or supercharged 6. the v6 has more grunt and power base and after forced induction. bigger size means bigger potential

95b16coupe · 07-20-2009, 01:44 PM

wow dude, you are really stupid.

AHHVTEC · 07-20-2009, 01:52 PM

agreed ^^

buttered corn · 07-20-2009, 02:08 PM

drop a good old LS1 inside.
