Is a honda s2000 engine and trans compatable in a 5th gen lude
 

Im just wondering if a honda s2000 engine and trans will work in a 5th gen lude

NO-you would spend a small fortune converting a Prelude to RWD.

yeah seriously, no way it'll work unless you really do a lot of fabrication to make it a RWD...

damn well ok thanks for the input there is a 4x4 systems place buy where i live and i want to make it awd for like 2000 dollars do you think it would be worth it? would it then work for the s2000 moter?

Depends on the trany you'd use. The Lude and S2000 engines spin in opposite directions, so the trany's do too. I really don't know how or why you'd make a Lude AWD in the first place, you'd lose so much power to the wheels it wouldn't be worth it anyways.

If you only have 2000 good luck making it AWD its going to cost you a bit more than that Id think

I can't see how an AWD conversion on a lude would only cost $2000. I'd say stay away from it.

ive never done an AWD conversion on any car, but i will tell you even on DSM's like the eclipse/talon with AWD/FWD, there are a lot of differences in chassis alone, and those are the same type of car...not to mention drivetrain differences.

the CRV uses the same brakes as the prelude, so there are probably some similiarities in the rear suspension...wouldnt bet on it tho

if you want AWD, i heard of a guy who put a built h22a into his AWD CRV, i hear its pretty damn quick outta the hole and all around.

the thing about the s2k engine is that the 2.0 makes less TQ than the h22a, and a h22a can make 240HP NA with mods and tuning. probably be less than a f20c swap. and of course it makes more TQ stock.
im sure you can see the importance of TQ in a 3000 pound car. especially when we drive hondas which traditionally make low TQ

now the new s2k has the f22c because honda got smart and added more TQ to help the s2k in its track performance.

~boom

You could put the S2K engine into the Prelude front drive trans...... and then drive at 70 mph in 5th gear backwards . :D

LOL, that's how it would end up being ;)
