NSX Engine into Prelude BB1 - Honda Prelude Forum

VTEC-Baby · 10-12-2009, 03:16 AM

Have a question.
Is it possible to obstruct an NSX Engine into a Prelude? What do I need to change anything here because of car body parts, or so it will fit in?
Unfortunately, there is here in Austria about any information. Could buy for cheap motor from a friend.

Sorry, my English is not exactly the best, I hope you understand me

With a big pile o' money it could be done and if you think your getting an NSX motor for cheap it's probably a POS. The C30a and C32a are VERY expensive motors. If you want the performance of an NSX just buy one, the NA1 model can be found for around $14k in the US in great condition.

Or buy a 6MT Legend with the C32A5 (Type II) engine

Well NSX will not, because I would like to go for engine in the Prelude. I just thought maybe someone knows of you, whether one can build the engine.

there are soooooo many things that would need to be done to make an NSX engine work, its ridiculous. The NSX is rear wheel drive based orientation and tranny, etc.

Civics and Integra's have all kinds of engine swaps available because there are so many little I4s that are available through those lines ups, etc. But a Prelude, NSX etc. Its really just not worth the effort.

N/A H22 or boost it

k24/k20 mix FTW!!

K24A1 crv block with K20Z3 head (type s).....:-D

Besides a FF V6 wouldn't be much fun, it'd be too front heavy and the handling would be poor.

This is an awesome idea! Do it!

If you want the sickest swap the prelude community has ever seen your gonna need an
f20c motor(s2000), a lot of money, and a lot of fabrication. I can't really imagine many things that would be cooler than a 6-spd rear wheel drv prelude that gos up to 8200 rpm's!!!

P.S. boosting it would get you a lot of bonus points!!!

actually, the nsx engine would still be better

why stop there? why not a small block v8? why not rocket engines?

This discussion is so stupid it's insane.

i once put a bunch of bottle rockets on my roller skates and lit them... if you want fast try that cause wow.. i clocked in at 24 mph downhill but man it felt like i was going a160!!!!!!

You know, with the amount you spend doing this, you could most definitely make more power by just boosting an H22. Even if you can get the motor for cheap, how you will fit it in I have no idea! PLUS your cars weight distribution will be so screwed =(

hell, u could probably buy a high mileage NSX for the money it would take. ~$30k these days. By the time u include the cost of the lude, the cost of the engine, the custom fab work, the labor, bloah blah, you could easily spend close if not beyond that.
