Is the jdm H22 the only good swap for a 4th gen?

Because i was thinking, why can't you swap in a C-series out of one of the Acuras or even the Accord V-6?

You could get a H23 vtec from an JDM accord or a F20.

the h22 swap is one of the easiest swaps, and also shows significant HP gains

I would imagine that swapping in a C series would be incredibly dificult... sweet, but expensive and hard to do...


even sweeter would be to drop the thing in the back driving the rear wheels...

H23-VTEC, F20B... those are pretty much the options. F20B would be sweet, 9k capable, yum yum.

Isn't the F20C in the S2000 based on the F20B? Anyways, the jdm h22a is 220 base right? I saw a site that had two JDM h22s, one with 200 and the other with 220. Is that one out of a newer prelude?

Yup...they're fairly hard to find, though, and very, VERY expensive, especially compared to the regular JDM h22.

it's been covered a thousand times, not just incredibly difficult, but basically impossible, the F20c crank spins opposite of the prelude's engine (and most other Honda engines) But yeah, if someone could fit a driveshaft under the center of a prelude somehow and drop an F20c in, that'd be pretty sweet, but if putting 4WS on a non-4WS lude is a PITA, I can't imagine what trying to make a Prelude RWD would be like, you might as well just buy a RWD car and use that time more wisely lol.

^^^ What is so dificult about doing the 4WS swap on a 4th gen... it's all wires except for the sensors on the front and the different parts on the rear right? The third gen 4WS swap doesn't seem too dificult if you have any mechanical inclination...



Oh and the 4G63 swap was posted here on PO a couple weeks back... it was an article in another language...
