What would be better?

[jaywho123]

Well lets see i just got a new job... Yeah for me!
now the loan will be paid soon... Yeah for me!
don't know what i'm gonna do
1.) thinking about buying a 4th gen Prelude, i was thinking '93
or
2.) Put a H22 into my 3rd gen

Please tell me what you think

PEACE!

[Honda_Gurl]

i'm a big 4th gen lover, so of course i'm gonna say get the 4th gen prelude... i didn't even know u could fit the h22 into a 3rd gen?? then again, i'm still learning here, so i have no clue :paranoid:

[ChrisCantSkate]

well, the 3rd getn has a b-serise motor in it. in order to fit a h22 in it your going to do ALOT of custom work and all, you'll spend about 4000 give or take a lil just to get the engine running in your car. i'd personaly say sell yours and look for a 4th gen vtec. you wont regret it. as far as years for 4th gen's the 94+ got a interior upgrade, it has a cup holder, the vtec got a nicer looking gauge cluster vtecs came with leather standard if you can find a 94, they are a little bit nicer, but no faster/slower

[ChrisCantSkate]

BTW, im chris, i see your relativly new to the board. if you need any questions answerd about anything relating preludes, we can answer it here

[jaywho123]

thanks for the info
i was told the 93 was faster?

[jaywho123]

i info i got about swapping a h22 into a 3rd gen was @

http://www.jdm1.com/SwapGuide.html

the h22 will fit almost exact with a kit

[ChrisCantSkate]

ive herd rumors the 93 is faster too, but ive beaten my friend 93 vtec with the same mods basicaly as me, it was very very close but i edged out, i think theya re the same. the 93 might be a tiny bit lighter, but thats what my CF hoods for.

[ChrisCantSkate]

well, its the same difficulty of a swap as into a 92-00 civic. you need different axles, you loose PS and AC, there might be some moddification to your engine bay. the swap difficultys were 1 2 and 3. one is a direct fit, 2 is you can make it fit, and 3 is you can make it fit extensive modification. i left 4 out cause that was just "it wont fit"

[jaywho123]

doesn't it sound like fun though?

i probably will get a 4th gen
don't really care what year as long as i can afford it and it's a
VTEC...
thats what i want

[ChrisCantSkate]

[jaywho123]

[kasper smith]

[KwikR6]

Yeah Jay keep me updated....oh wait...if we do the swap...haha..i'll be helping you...hahaha...just like when we do the del sol..hahaha..anyway...I Say...ummm 1993 or 1994 prelude. I like the styling a little better. Plus there are a little more luxuries with them then yours....plus...the carpet in yours needs a little work:D

[jaywho123]

thats a lot of cash

[KwikR6]

yeah almost not even worth it...does it come with axels...ECU?

Ohhh only a little...hahaha..of course I have...:cool:

[kasper smith]

it comes with axels shocks ecu wiring harness everything us funds, its a full front clip everything that you need. all mounts sparkplugs distributor, everything. shipping to canada may be expensive though. the engine is in texas. if your intrested hit me back. kaspersmith23@hotmail.com. talk with you later man.

[ChrisCantSkate]

thats kinda high, ive seen them go for a bit less than that shipped to your door. i'll find the guy who gets these prices and post back. im thinking it was in the 2300 for a shipped h22 with ecu. and you need different axles, although i belive it comes with it.

Yeah Jay and I thought it was high...we talked about it over lunch...mmmm that was good..hahaha

[jaywho123]

yeah did seem high most i've seen was in around 2300-2600 in US funds. I would really like to find one in Canada
but i don't think i should be picky.

[KwikR6]

Well I was telling you about Colin who is getting his CRV/VTEC turbo built up out east. I'm sure he has a few contacts and people he knows that could get one.

[kasper smith]

well if you are interested we could negotiate if your serious hit me back. see i have a crx that has a b18c5 and i was a little misled when i was told that the h22 would fit. so now i want to get rid of it so i can put more into the b series. so far ive done your basic performance upgrades and would like to continue.

[ChrisCantSkate]

check http://www.jdmclub.com/index2.html tell them chris(4thgenlude) sent you

or if you can find a number for ASAPmotors i think my friend got a jdm h22a shipped to his door (non-commercial address) for 2100 with everything included.

[ChrisCantSkate]

BTW if it matters ASAPmotors is out of texas if that helps you find it

[jaywho123]

hey thanks for the info guys
i'm gonna have to sit on your engine Kasper and do a little more thinking

[kasper smith]

alright bro it will be here so if you want it let me know. talk to you later and good luck with the search.
