Swapping help guages and transmission - Honda Prelude Forum

furashi · 03-15-2010, 10:41 PM

Ive searched and cant find much, only writeups on 5th gens. does anyone know were there is a good write up on auto to manual swap for the 4th gen? Also for the gauge cluster swap (92-93 to 94-96) since the gauges would match the other motor with the higher rmps and such or can someone help me out on what to do?

Background Info:
I have a donor car (96 sr) and want to swap the motor and tranny to the project car (93 si)

Please any advice would be very appreciated!

Follow the tranny swap for the 5th gen. It's pretty much the same.

The gauges don't matter - follow the writeup for the EL gauge swap.

As far as the engine - I believe the 96 is obd2 (someone correct me). If it is, you will just have to use your OBD1 distributor, wiring harness, and maybe a few other parts.

^correct 96 is obd2.

Is SR in canada same as SI here emission wise?

as far as I know, they SR = Si + maple leaf

I do recall reading (back when SatanSRV was active) about a obd2 h23 and how that is hard to come by. I believe the only differences are with the CKP sensor. So, if you reuse your obd1 distributor, it should be fine.
