Need to know a good engine swap for a 93 S - Honda Prelude Forum

Broken Devil · 08-08-2003, 02:06 PM

I have 1200 now but have at least a 1000 a month i can dedicate to my car. So im wondering what would be the best engine to put in to eventually turbo/super and whatnot. i've heard jdm h22s are good but i can't find one under 2500 (thats with tranny and everything.) are those the best to put in if you eventually want to be able to make your prelude super fast?

Yes if you're going to swap it's really your only choice. It is also the best choice so save up. There is a couple S to VTEC swap writeups in the FAQ

try an nsx engine............ anything is possible with money put the majority of people go with jdm h22a but if you are feeling adventurious try the h23a vtec swap

Limited Slip Differential - Both front tires will pull the car instead of just one. Without LSD for example, when you do a burnout, you will notice that only one tire will spin. With LSD, both tires will spin when you do a burnout. LSD makes it so that you can grip the road better when racing...

so are u saying our cars are one wheel drive?

Okay, jack the front of your lude up and you will notice that if you rotate one wheel in one direction, the other wheel will turn in the OPPOSITE direction. With LSD, if you turn one of the front wheels in one direction, the other wheel will turn the SAME direction. Basically when both wheels are on the ground and moving, one of the wheels is really pulling the car but actually, the power is distributed to both front wheels so its all good. If I ain't explaining this very well, maybe there is someone else who can do a better job
