So you gunna have a spare b20a head now ? hint hint.
You're swapping to a failtop aren't you? Or did you find another gold top?
I have been using my mates preludes motor in my car for the last god knows how long. its a gold top and has been used abused not serviced and done over 300,000kms and its not the best of engines, it doesnt plume out blue smoke but it does burn oil and it seems to like to hesistate when you floor it. so im pulling it out and installing the 149,000km blacktop motor from the exclusive i just bought. its recently had a new cambelt etc so it should be good to go, for now im going to leave the shitty blacktop intake on and wire it all factory to a blacktop ecu with the only mod being the intake, should be sweet on gas again and a lot faster lol
heres some pics
Before shot:
my OMGMANUALRACK complete with subframe so i dont have to make any custom bushes.
i have some BA1 prelude hubs and brakes to install. i hope they fit
and the blacktop motor that used to be auto
Gearbox and clutch
testing gearbox for diff play lol

and its a manual motor now

nah its sweet just been sitting for ages
looking reaall goooood!
the pics did not come out at all. the shed i was working in is useless to take pics in with light coming in from gay directions so bear with me or turn your brightness up
First i took this speedo drive thing )also has pipes and a pump for power steer. I decided to remove the pump out of it
All done ready to go..lightweight speedo drive
I decided to simply frop the motor out the bottom subframes and all. so i hooked the front of the car to my endless chain lifting block and lifted it up and unded all the subframe bolts, Disconnected the steering column pipes wires mounts speedo cable and unded the last bolt and bang out it falls.
New subframes waiting to be lifted up and bolted on. Manual steering rack ftw
Bolt on the crossmembers
Now i put on the prelude hubs, swapped in brand new ball joints and tie rod ends...
hubs on, the lude hubs seem to fit perfectly, they have more negative caber i noticed, but i can adjust that out with the camber tops when i align the wheels, they are set at full negative currently for lolz.
Awesome, Now shes all ready to install the new motor i prepaired yesterday, So in it goes....
And thats it, hooked up the axles pipes wires radiator all the fiddly bullshit that takes forever to hook up and away she goes.
i did not install the front swaybar and it handles pretty goods, apart from the bodyroll lol, i cant thrash it until the clutch beds itself in cause it slips at the moment
mintmintmintmint!!
You should clean the crossmembers first
Dirty parts made me cry
if i had time, the cbf factor was pretty high at the time
Thats awesome....bunch of goodies...manual rack....bigger rotors....exc...damn you aaron....need a vid now
200+ ALL MOTOR LS VTEC
the clutch is still slipping like a bitch so i cant give it WOT lol im hoping it will hurry up and bed itself in and not fail cause that would suck if it failed.
Need to sort out the camber its pretty bad not too much traction even with a slipping clutch
Great job man got ny extra lude parts for me
rhd restoration 2nd gen prelude
nope only part prelude in my shed is the multitude of useless PJ5 b20a rear engine mount brackets
moar pix
of what? pies
cheese
putting interior in today
not putting in interior today, ended up installing the b16 intake onto the blacktop, fuck blacktop motors are the gayest ever!!! theres like bolts that wont come off unless you use a ringspanner which i didnt have/ fail but i got it done
Was that a brand new clutch? The only reason you should need to bed anything in is if you have a fresh flywheel/pressure plate surface and a new clutch. If you just randomly mixed and matched some clutch and flywheels, that might be why it's slipping, and you might be shit out of luck. Also, if it's brand new, it shouldn't be slipping, and it should take between 150-300 miles to be broken in. And you should never put full power down on a new clutch either.
