what can i do with $6000 - Honda Prelude Forum

Someone is going to buy my 92 si for $6000 and i want to know if it would be enough money to get another lude and do the jdm h22a swap with 5 spd if i have too and get a paint job. Also do these engines last a while.

Well in my area its definitely possible, I have seen high mileage 92-93 Si and S Ludes sell for under $3000, another $3k and you have an h22a engine installed, not to mention you can sell your old engine.

how much has it cost most of you to do the swap?

92 SI Ludester · 06-23-2003, 11:21 AM

1900 for motor/tranny/ecu/wiring
750 for install

that was 2650 for me...and worth every penny.......minus the auto part

$2300 H22a w/LSD shipped.
$ 400 Install

Buy a streetbike!!

No, really though, I bought my '92 Si with only 95k miles at the time, for 6100, plus it's in purrfect condition, so.... I think if you'd find a high mileage fourth gen. and buy it you'd have plenty of money left over.

ya i really want to get an lsd tranny how much more is that than the norm

I hate to say this in THIS forum, but save up and get a 5th gen bud.

blacklude4k · 06-24-2003, 11:07 AM

ya i have thought of that but the 4th gen looks way better and can be faster so i want to go this route if i can

The LSD would be cheaper if you bought it with a jdm h22, like a package deal ya know?
