Had a shop build this for me as new home ownership work never ends... Im a terrible plumber one day, then an electrician, then next Im an arborist cutting down tree's. JDM K24 Turbo making 475whp no power steering but has A/C. There's some more work I need to do on the car for personal preference in the engine bay along with other things like heat soak but she's a ripper!
Ok so I don’t know much about engines (basically anything at all and this is my first car) but I have a ’99 5th gen prelude base model and I need a new engine. Before anyone says something I will not be getting rid of the car as it has sentimental value. I guess someone drove it with little to no oil in it for some time and now there’s metal shavings in the oil hose or something and the pistons and where the pistons go is basically shredded. So I’m looking to do an engine swap but am not sure which to get or where to get one. And if I do get one what else would I need to buy? I’m trying to keep the original transmission as I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it so I was thinking just another H22 but then I saw people talking about OBD (not sure what that is) and about H23 engines? There are a couple preludes in junkyards near me that I’m pretty sure are kinda untouched and was thinking that maybe I could pull one out from there? let me know what you guys think please.

Just bought a 1985 prelude. Pretty immaculate other than rough paint and trunk needing some body work. Cant wait to see where this takes me!
Hi everyone!
Currently have 4gen f20a4 with chipped p28 ecu. I want to make it a bit faster. What are good tuning alternatives, like intake, cams? I know h23 or f22a6 intake are bolt-on and gives some power, but It’s hardly possible to find them in Europe. What about other like f22’s or f23? I researched that it is possible to put in f22/f23 intake from accord, but the thermostat is a bit different. Also have 4-2-1 headers. Are there any other power options besides turbo or swap? Yeah yeah I know that these engines are not the best for tuning.
I’m looking for a spoiler styled similarly to the one in the photo that I wouldn’t have to drill new holes for. Or if any of you did, how did you cover the old holes? And how do you not fuck up drilling new holes for it?
I’m living in Canada and heavily considering buying an 01 Prelude SE since my cousin works at a dealership and found one in near perfect condition.
Currently Canada is still using Ethanol 10 however Ontario is using Ethanol 15 and pushing for the rest of Canada to make the change. Does anybody know if I runs fine on Ethanol 15 and what problems it might cause?
Hi everyone, i just got this 97 2.0i as my first car and I have some problems with the idle. So far, I've set the valve clearances to factory spec, replaced the valve cover gasket and now it is time to finally solve this quite annoying cold idle issue. What it does is when I start it up, like 10 seconds after starting, it starts jumping up and down. It's not as bad as it was when I bought it, because it was way worse. It was going up and down between 1400-1800 and now it's not, because I cleaned the IACV and FITV. It was actually disgusting how much the FITV was clogged up. It literally didn't have any holes visible inside it from all the build-up. Since cleaning, it's a lot better tho. I also set the FITV to all the way right and then 1,5 turns left. I also set warm idle to 800 rpm. Another issue it has is that when I press the throttle in neutral and release it, the rpm goes below idle, overcorrects itself and then goes back to normal idle. (or something like that. It's visible in the video) So my question is does someone have a solution for this?
Just got my low mile jdm RBB3 k24a for the BB6!
Hey guys, need another solution to the throttle cable getting stuck on the bracket, when heated up it makes the idle stick around 2k
it’s a skunk2 throttle body for the h22
something temporary was putting a rubber o ring on one side and it worked perfectly but pretty quickly disintegrated.
was thinking metal wire or another throttle cable to shim on one side but i’m worried it would damage the throttle cable
3 years of building this thing step by step... Damn, so sad.
Is is quiet or can you still hear the road pretty loud at 80+ mph?
Ok so on my 01 lude who ever owned the car before the person I bought it from completely ruined the wiring in the driver side door.
The power locks and windows do not work so I opened the door and began looking at the connections, they completely removed the door jump harness.
They tried just splicing all the wires back by color but you can’t do that because they go in one color and come out a different color in the jump harness. My plan now is to remove the door and try fixing the wires myself if I can find the original wiring diagram I can still bypass the jump harness I just need to know which color wire goes where.
Does anyone here have any idea on that or what you think would be best thank you!!
Looking through old stuff and found this. Miss my fourth gen.
Just wanted to post my 99 lude. It's still a work in Progress but it's getting there. 👍
Changing to PTFE for an E85 compatible system from the fuel pump to the rail and back from the regulator to tank as well.
I plan on pressure testing all my lines, but this is my first time assembling hose like this. It's taken some learning curve but I think I got a process down. Anyone else do this sort of project to your Prelude?
Im obviously replacing it regardless but befoe i bolt it all back up dose anyone know for certain that this type of clutch failure would cause normal pedal operation but inability to shift?
I love the only school 90s head units with the dolphins and shit and would really like something like that for this car. However the gap to fill is pretty big and need a double din. Is there something that looks time correctly with maybe a fold out screen would be cool but can also support an upgraded sound system? I know it’s asking for a lot but maybe someone has found one?
