I have a 5th generation 5Spd Prelude with about 65k miles on it. I was thinking of adding a SC to the Engine.. but was also open to exploring other options. I was wondering if anyone has put the Acura 3.2TL-S Engine into a Prelude...Can the Prelude engine bay possible accept a V6? Anyone tried this swap...

anything is possible
but it would be more powerful and probably cost less than the 3.2tl type-s engine to SC the h22a4
the sc should put you in the mid 13's

I guess you could stuff a lot of different engines into a Prelude.. I guess my question was more on the lines of compromises and modifications I have to make to accomodate a 3.2Tl-S engine..
For example
1. Can I re-use the stock engine mounts ..
2. Can the cruise control be hooked up properly..
3. Are any changes needed for the manual tranny..
4. What about any possible modifications to the fuel system or cooling system..

 

1. No.
2. Doubtful.
3. Lots.
4. You'd have to run a complete J series engine control system, and a bigger radiator would be nice.

In short, if you have to ask, you probably can't do it.

 

ok.. jrsc it is I guess...

 

i wouldn't go with the JRS
belts tend to break often
we're talking 7-10k miles
not good for a long term poweer investment
