What engine can I get for my 97 lude?

[Jarik]

HondWreck had a JDM SiR-S a while back, they may still have it now.

SiR-S has the same engine as the 220HP Type-S, but with an LSD instead of ATTS.

Since it doesn't have ATTS, might be easier to get in if they still have it.

Someone on PreludeAustralia is supposed to have fitted an S Spec engine (possibly that one) to an ATTS. If so then the S Spec also uses an ATTS block, so same issues with fitting.

I stand corrected.

Sell the ****er without an engine?
He started with a H22, so just replace it with one. You dont have any real cost effective alternatives.

jst chuck a type r in there bro lol

[vinniez1314]

stick with the h22a just not right if you put any other motor in it.

You can buy a conversion kit from the US for a K20 swap...

(Note: this will not an easy nor cheap exercise)

The best option is to get the original engine again.

Seeing as Preludes are not as commonly modified there are few after market options for them.

Whatever you save on the engine but getting a different one you will likely pay 5-10x the difference in extra labour.

if ur going for a lude engine stock one, there was a few front cuts up at GREENACRE wreckers.. checkm out get some prices.

[vinniez1314]

anyone got an idea on how much labour it would be to install cam kit and tune?

[GormzZ]

i thought the h22a engine was one of the better and easier engines to mod and tune? i would stick with the current h22a engine in your VTi-R Prelude and just mod it to the shit house.. it seems to have the most kw's stock anyway.. if i cant get myself a VTi-R Prelude.. and instead only a 4th Gen i was planning to do a conversion and get the h22a engine dropped into it.
