Once you see the dark side ..... it is very hard to go back.

For a first car I think a h23a powered lude would be sweet. It'll still smoke ur stock ca18det silvia wannabes.

Good Luck
...

I am more than happy with my current engine (u can always have more tuning
of course) The b20a is no where near its max performance point, I just thought the motor would be super tuff in a civic.
...

Not giving up !! Just trying to go faster !!

and to be different

and I think it would be even funnier if a rex got tromped by a ED civic over a lude.

So it is definately a no go. Very...

Hey, I have a 89 lude with a very nice b20a turbo in it. I am wanting to put thus engine in a ED civic to lose a truck load of wieght fast. As paople tend to use b16/b18 engines in civics there is...

I made the mistake in assuming that a b20b would be very similar to a b20a.

Thanx heaps for your info I may just keep the lude as I was just toying with the idea on how to lose a truck load of...

Is the engine mount position completely different ?? I knew they could not be used for CRVTEC conversions but assumed the engine mounts on a b20b would be the same as a b20a ?? Not true ??

Thanks...

Umm yes I did know that but somehow overlooked it :(

What about ED civics. Didn't ED's come out with the same enigine as EG's. (d15b) If so does that mean that the mounting points are in a...

Ok Ok. The B20A I currently have (in the lude) has been all rebuilt with considerable amounts of money thrown at it, and a lovely T28bb hanging off the front. For this reason alone I want to use my...

I have a reasonably nice b20a in my 89 lude, and in the quest for speed, I want to lose a considerable amount of body wieght. My question is, will my b20a fit into an EG civic ? I know that people...

:rolleyes: Not Turbo ......... Just a cooler :thumbsup:

:confused: you should hear my 'imaginary' blow off valve !! :confused:




P.S. I was being serious.

:D I tell people the same thing. Only prob is with a turbo the engine bay temp gets that high the fans stay on for A G E S !!! :D

There unfortunately are very few (if any) cheap options when talking performance and gen 3 ludes. I was lucky enough to benifit from someone elses misfortune. I bought a half finished project car...

sway bars and strut bars and traction fixes are in the future , once the engine side is completely sorted out to a level I am happy with. Reliability seems quite good. Cars last longer when looked...

Prelude Tales -->
Bought as a very very unfinished project. Owner ran out of money before the potential could of been realised. Push started and drove home very slowly. Started rectify and replacing...

Just boost the lude and be done with it :)

Most things will have to be custom made as unlike the GTR there are not a great deal of 'off the shelf' performance enhancments for turbo B20 's

I also have an 89 lude. It had never been to a honda dealer in its life. Buckles were original and still working fine. I took it in to Honda and they replaced the buckles (recall free) the also...

I have previously been to a Honda drive day in a national park with a list of 4x4's. Everyone underestimates the CRV's off road performance and capabilities. The 'duel pump system' makes it very easy...

City Turbo II is approx 80 kw (@ flywheel) all alloy, 15 psi standard, and a whole lot of fun.

Most Honda wreckers have a few floating around in their yards so motors are not that difficult to...

The '89 SI Prelude' was bought for a steal as a unfinished project (run out of money ..... same as everyone else) All the internal engine work was already done (with reciepts for $6700) I am just...

Thanks heaps for all the info and replies.

Just very roughly (very very roughly) What boost do u think I 'should' be able to run 'safely' ??

B20A (stronger pistons, rods, and bolts)
Laser cut...

Just trying to get an idea of how strong the honda engine is. I was particular interested in how much boost people where running through their stock engines with bolt on turbo kits ? And how much...

I was not talking about a 'gtr' I was refering to a 'r32 gts'


And I was tlking about 'type S' s15 turbos.



Sorry about my lack of communicatiom skills.

I would recomend the T28 of an S15 (not R32) The S15 T28 is steel wheel and B.B.

I have a S15 T28 on my B20A prelude. U have very little lag and still a healthy whack of boost at top end. I feel...

This statemant is true AS LONG AS u r running a relitively STOCK 3rd gen lude. Don't group all 3rd gens in one boat.


As for the sucking hot air. Every 4 degrees u lower the air temp is approx...
