I'm new to cars. Most of my interest come from playing Gran turismo.
I got a 92 prelude si automatic off a friend and that got me into cars in general.
I got a 2nd 94 prelude si for pretty cheap off craigs list, with a h23a1, with real bad scared walls. but this one is a 5 speed with a stage 2 clutch. So i decided to buy an H22a and make this a project car. But my first lude died, think its rod bearing, between that and burning oil bad i decided to get this project rolling asap, cause im out a working car currently.
first question the transmissions, my lude has a m2s4 in it, what is the difference between it and the m2f4 that stock vtecs come with, other then gear ratios. Friend at work told me to be careful because i can ruin that transmission with the h22a and in my research i cant confirm this.
2nd, i do need to get a new computer for the h22a right? If im replacing the h23 then i want something better then factory. Im having problems wording my Google searches right to find what im looking for. So Im asking for good websites with computers or suggested computers to use.
I got about $1500 right now, to invest in getting the car running, as i get more money i will do more to the car. i dont want to spend all my money on the computer, because i havent driven this car yet so i dont know if other random problems are gonna come up.
My goals with the car is 350 - 400 hp (approx). i need cold air intake (unless i take out of my other lude), custom duel exaust, and i want a vtec controler. thats going to be budgeted out of my 1500.
I want to go N/A and not turbo, down the road. I haven't scouted prices or scouted needed parts yet for this,
Id like to restore one of my h23a1's to get in my automatic, and sell it to fund the rest of my ideas for the vtec.
So please give me any suggestions or point out anything i haven't thought of yet. I just want to make sure i do everything right.
Thank you for your time
