S2000 engine in a prelude - Honda Prelude Forum

TheBigB · 03-21-2002, 05:38 PM

Is this possible? I know the engine lays differently etc... But there is probably a way this could be done right? Only reason i ask is my friend was talking about doing it to his 92 Si and i was like yea right, i don't think that has or even could be done.

does he have a ton of money, because that might be the only way. Its a completely different car, but it would damn cool if someone could pull it off.

i think putting in a CL-S engine would be better and expect more gains from a V6 than a I4.

The new type S CL is coming out with the NSX's V6 vtec with 260hp stock with a six speed manual tranny. aka GOD of hondas

jk. Anyway back to the subject. There is a huge problem with transplanting the S2000's engine into a prelude or any other front wheel drive honda makes. That is simply that the S2000's engine spins the opposite directions as any other honda. This is going to make a huge problem unless your going to need 5 gears for reverse and only one for forward.

Peace

Is it possible? yes. Is your friend going to do it? no.

he may as well just go out and buy the s2000. putting a s2000 engine in a lude would be a big job. by the time everything would be all done and added up, he could have probibly got the s2000 which would have saved a lot of headaches and picked up a lot more women!

I mean theoretically...once you're out of the same engine class F,H,K, whatever...don't you pretty much have the same amount of work no matter what engine you go with? I mean from CL-S to a Nissan to a Toyota does it really matter...you're cutting and welding no matter what, are't you?

If you had a custom tranny it would eliminate the problem with the motor spinning the other way.

I know that but your basic reject doesn't. You know what I mean.
