This is my first time on a Honda Forum so go slow...its my second time owning a Honda.. I had a 95 White MTX Prelude that was my baby but my boyfriend crashed it, driving me home when I was drunk (had that car for a month and a half). THEN I had a Ford Probe (ewww!) had nothing but car trouble with that!! Now I have a 94 Black MTX Civic that I love!! I hope to get feedback from all you and maybe even help you guys out. -Julie:P

[gixer]

needless to say, your title caught my attention;) ......im pretty new on this board, i've been on about 5 boards searching for info on s2000's......why didn't you find yourself another lude instead of a civic.....no offense.....i just like preludes.....

[94_AcCoRd_EX]

Welcome to HS :P You had me going with the MTX thing too :o

[FeelMyRide]

I was going to get a Prelude but I needed a car fast, so I bought the Civic at a steal of a price. And then.. a week later I went back and the guy had a 95 Prelude STICK in Midnight Blue for $7800. Ugggh! I was so mad! I went in to trade it but he was only going to give me $3400 for the Civic.. what a hoax!

How much did u pay 4 the car??? If it wuz a lot more than 3400, then i feel for ya, that sux.

[FeelMyRide]

With taxes and new plates and all the good stuff that comes with buying a car it cost me almost $6K.. One thing I dont like about Preludes is the dash/console is just too simple. No offense to anyone with one but thats just my opinion.

[slowEJ6]

$6k for a 94? yikes. thats steep. i paid $9500 for my 97..in 98 :o

which i think is going to get sold soon :eek:

i had a 92 prelude, i loved it to death.....especially the dash, looks nothing like any other car out there......kinda....how do u say it...."futuristic".....i don't know, my opinion....

[FeelMyRide]

Yes 6 is steep for a 94 thats going to need a new engine soon. Speaking of which do you think its wrong if when I change my engine to an SI engine with 32k on it I should change the odometer.. I mean the odometer does say how many miles are on the engine. :bandit:

no you dont need to change it when you swap. but why Si? if yer staying naturally aspirated i dont really suggest the B16....its not too powerful AT ALL. 99-00 Si, 15.7? BAH, seriously pathetic.

[FeelMyRide]

you think I should keep my engine now? Its about to break 90k ;( I was thinking of just changing everything in the engine so its basically new

[slowEJ6]

hmm well what are your plans for the car?
you want to go turbo? sc? nitrous?
and if you want to go turbo, are you planning to build up the motor or just leave it for a while?

heres what i suggest for diff. engines. of course this is just me and im a loser :P
B16A: eh.....i dont suggest this motor unless going build up and turbo. if you have it and dont want turbo, i suggest a Vortech SC.
B16B: mmmm, NA is the way to stay!
B18B: turbo! 13psi on STOCK internals!!!!!!!!!! very nice :cool: but not too enjoyable if staying naturally aspirated.
B18C1: hmm, very fun engine.....NA or FI build up will most likely net you impressive gains with the correct mods.
B18C5: hmm....for the price, i suggest a B18C1 unless of course you have oodles to mod with. but this engine is so beautiful NA.
H22A: this thing is insane crazy.....no fun for hauling ass around turns. i do not suggest it :no:
and then of course theres the crvtec and lsvtec stuff but.....hehe i dunno what you want from the motor..... ;)

[FeelMyRide]

b18a would run me how much?? maybe i'll just stay stock and throw a turbo in when I have money

[slowEJ6]

DOHC noTEC integra engine will probably run about $2200 for a NEWER one. which would be OBDII......but if you wanna stay OBDI then you'll need a 95 or older engine. also it'll be a bit cheaper that way but may have more miles. email me and i can get you a quote on the b18 if youd like so you can get an idea of about how much itd run you.
just say in it what exactly you want.

Honestly I don't know what I want.. I just want driving my car to feel good. I wanna be able to get some speed. But I don't car too much about 1/4 mile and all that but I do wanna be able to kick some ass as I'm driving along and some moron wants to race me. Also I would like to have some gas money so my mod's can't be that high in price. I need to do a little at a time so basically I dunno what I want for an engine. I'm just :crazy

[slowEJ6]

MY suggestion is a B18C1 in that case. its a nice platform to start with and you will be able to beat quite a few cars with the swap. it responds well to mods so even building it up a little at a time will give you some benefits. that engine will run you about $3300 for a newer one with under 32k miles. entire swap.
