    Re: Time for mega motor swapping

    its totally true messy, seems like all the red cars have a rough life from honda... its just a thing i guess. I do want to paint the del sol and the white prelude, but i won't probably do that until next year... maybe that will be my next years project. I figure a b16b Del Sol and a boosted b18c1 prelude is quiet a bit, not to mention everything else i've done this year already (new suspension, wheels, tires, and trans for the white prelude)... I guess from here, I'll just start updating the Ba-B16 thread or maybe start a new thread, a Ba-B18t thread or something...

    That's a second gen accord. I'm not sure about those cars but what i do know is that the second generation Prelude shares more in common with the third generation accord. Keep in mind that these motors are fairly expensive, so even doing the swap its going to set up back about 5k

    Re: Time for mega motor swapping

    Alright thanks, I defiantly didn't think id need up to 5k but im ok with that, just gonna have to save up a lil longer. Generally my goal is to get more power out of it, my little ek1 has 89hp, my goal is at least 200 without a turbo

    Re: Time for mega motor swapping

    It really depends on the motor you want to use... But expect that most vtec b series motors are going to sty you back at least 2700 or more. That would only include trans ecu and long block. Everything else you really won't be able to use. Need the innovative mounts, wiring, axles, and sell the hydro trans and buy a cable trans...plus all the other odds and ends. Plus to get too 200 whp. 5 k easy

    If it's an anything type budget, is go with an ls1. Lots of power, responds well to bolt ons, easy to find
