I was doing research on my Legend caliper swap onto my '95 SI when I came accross something very interesting. In Advanced's brake book, the 3g Ludes caliper part number is the same as the stock '95 SI's. I checked it on hondaautomotiveparts.com but the numbers don't match. I think its due to the...
This is kinda confusing and I'm not sure if it'll work but please bare with me.
As I was doing brake research for my '95 Prelude I found that Advanced had the same part # for the front calipers of the 4g Lude as the 88-91 Prelude. Hondaautomotiveparts.com has them as diff #'s so I'm not...
After some more research and realizing that I think I've been chasing my tail, I've come to this conclusion. The importers I've talked to say that the JDM b20 with 145hp is a Prelude engine but I'm thinking differently now. I believe the engine you're talking about is the same engine 3g Luders...
Not taken as a diss, I'm just trying to understand this engine since its new to me.
For the record, there is a b20a5. I checked the Helms.
I still disagree about it fitting the 3g Lude tho. From looking at the Helms and the pics on links you posted and the pics someone on 3geez posted for me...
spiffyguido: If he uses the 3g mounts it should bolt up the same. A b20a is a b20a is a b20a. At least thats my theory.
prelude2004: See my responce on h-t.com.
Slammed90Lude: 1hp= 1.1ps
Well, $%&* me with a stick! Hes right!
I've never seen or heard of this engine before and I wouldn't know where to start looking. From honda.jp's site the engines seem identical. Same bore, stroke and compression. Too bad they don't give an a5 or something at the end of the b20a. It came in...
For a racecar that may be fine since you're gonna rebuild the engine fairly often anyways. I guess this is just a case where we must say "to each their own". I would rather spend the $200 on upgrading to the vtec thermo and housing and install the oil squirts.
I also have some numbers for the...
To do the h23vtec "correctly" you will have to install the oil squirts. The passages are there, they just have to be drilled and taped. The squirts also have to be shortened a bit due to the crancks counter weights.
The h23 cr is 9.8:1. The h22 has greater head volume, therefore using the h23...
You'd need the h22 pistons and of course the ecu in addition to the head. Also, I found on hondaautomotiveparts.com that the thermo housing and pipe going to the water pump can be upgraded for better cooling flow. I mentioned it on h-t.com, but no ones responded so I'm not 100% that it'd work...
Look at the '86-'89 Accords. They have so much in common with the Prelude its not even funny. You can use their brakes, engines, trannies, suspension pieces, etc, etc.
Look at the A series that came in the 86- 89 Accords. One of those would probly be your best bet for a good bang for the buck swap. Just be sure you overhaul the engine.
The 2g did come with a 2.0. If you don't believe me, email me in 5 days. I'll send you the link from Honda Japan.
Is scorch222even still checkin this???
