b16a1 into honda prelude?
 

is this swap feasible? i dont like the fact that h22 and h23's are hella expensive. that and i have a buddy who has a b16a1 in his accord and that thing has some serious scoot. that and 8200 rpms made me jealous of my measly 6700.

I have never seen it done.

But the saying came into mind

eh, which it is

b16 + 2800-3000lbs prelude=very slow and sluggish

beat me to it..was just comin back to edit my post!

Damn that would be slow, 112 ft/lbs. of tq'ers in a 3000 pound car!

P.S. The stock H23 in the prelude makes 161 hp/ 160 ft/lb of tq. That means you would have done a motor swap for 48 less ft/lbs of tq

Sadly, i have the F22 motor.. and its well... sad. i want more power and high rpms. not necesarily something that well out to boosted cars, but something fun to drive.

Re: b16a1 into honda prelude?
 

I would turbo the F motor work with what you got. Bore it out and lower compression.

Re: b16a1 into honda prelude?
 

Yikes on the F22. Like Will said I would boost it, it would be different I guess. Trust me you will hate having a B16. It is my stock motor and I would be lucky to hit a mid 15 with it in a 2600-2700 lb car. It would be a waste of time and money for you. Last time I checked H22 swaps were going for like $2000 complete.
