ANY K-Swapped 5th GENS out there? - Honda Prelude Forum

jdm.ninja · 01-28-2010, 07:06 AM

does anyone out there have any opinions on a k-swapped 5th gen prelude. or has anyone ever done this swap?
i heard that an h2b or a crv head on an h22 is pretty solid. but i want to kno if a K-series is better than any other swap for a 5th gen

K20
K24
or even k23

which of these would b more beast?

lots have done it. get a k22

h2b = H engine + B transmission, not b head. Only way the CRV fits in is if you do a B20 VTEC conversion to a 3rd gen and then it is the CRV bottom end, not head. You would use a civic or integra type r head.

K swaps have been done before, but not that many.

You don't know how to use the search feature, do you?

Admit it. Then fix it.

Or you can try another more generalized program we have called "google". It's fvucking amazing.

The most commonly thrown around story is on Honda-Tech. some guy built one in around '05-'06, then it got wrecked a year or so later. Only things left of it now are pictures.

Yes, it has been done, and no, it doesn't make any economical sense to do it. It'd cost at least $5-7k. I bet more closer to $8k

why not use an f22c and put a ivtec k20 head on it???

k20a2 head on a k24 block is a serious motor but an f series bottum end with k series pistons and an h series head has my vote for one of the strongest honda motors built with stock* parts.

any f or h tranny will bolt up with the exception of atts h trans, and the s2k trans

myorks · 01-29-2010, 11:05 AM

or you could just get a 240sx with an rb25 and smoke any of those

lilbill97 · 01-29-2010, 11:08 AM

We are talkin about fwd hondas though not 240s or rwd

myorks · 01-29-2010, 11:24 AM

lol i know dude i jus threw that in there cause everyone is talking about all these different engine tranny combinations hahah

petern101 · 01-29-2010, 12:31 PM

okay then, you could just buy a s2k and be done with it...stock.

bouckarooo · 01-29-2010, 08:21 PM

ok, how about you just take a honda v6 and turbo charge it?? then that way you could hook it up to the 6 speed accord transmissions......drop that intro a crx and you will have a nightmare of a ride....

lol, that's like trying to pack an elephant in a mouse cage!

bouckarooo · 01-29-2010, 10:12 PM

i am sure it could be done though.....

indylude18 · 01-29-2010, 10:17 PM

Forget all this mismatched honda engine nonsense. Put an LS9 in there and be done with it.

Or

Cover your car stickers and put a loud ass fart can on it. People seem to think that makes Hondas faster.

Getting all the custom fabrication work done to make a k series fit would far exceed the value of the car.

lude4lifeh22 · 01-29-2010, 10:21 PM

The best are Camry's with Jun stickers. Those be some REALLLLLLY fast Toyota's

indylude18 · 01-29-2010, 10:25 PM

^Is that because the gas pedal is hung up on the floor mat? I hear that and faulty drive-by-wire accelerator pedals are all the rage on Toyotas these days.

Toyota gives new meaning to "screaming fast."

bouckarooo · 01-29-2010, 10:50 PM

i get it now, thats why toyota trucks are so horrible on gas.....
