So my 1990 Prelude Si 2.0 finally shit the bed the other day at over 200,000 miles. I am sorta in a bad spot right now and can't afford to spend more than 1,000 to get a motor for it. I know the best way to find one is to go to a yard, but I am concerned because these engines are not certified or tested at all. I have been looking around the internet but I am inundated with stupid pages. Can anyone recomend a good website or auto recycler in or around the tristate (NYPANJ) that could help me find the motor i am looking for?

 

Hey matt its mike c in boulder, wierd...i read the accord posts all the time.

 

I think it was www.hmotorsonline.com or www.flashoptions.com that had the jdm b20a pretty cheap....

 

hey i got a 90 2.0 si as well and shes up to 217000 and i dont know how much longer shes gonna last so if you find good sites for motors let me know. i know ima cry when rosie does die. shes been good to me. still able to roast civics and stuff. but still. also if you find any tailights that would be cool as well. neighbor broke mine

 

Roast civics??? In a 90 si I doubt your roasting civics unless they're d16a1's. If you had a 4th or 5th gen vtec I'd believe you could but I owned a 90 si and a civic ex will keep with you!

 

dude i only say what i experience. im taking them down pretty easy and only got taken by a few. never by an auto civ tho. only two manuals and one was turboed. the other had computer chip upgrades. i/h/e. full suspensin upgrade. and a new stage three clutch as well as some other stuff. but ya i do take civics with it. you saying you back the avg civic? over a lude?

 

Nah I'm just saying I thought my 91 si was slow as balls compared to my 99 that's all!

 

ya. in comparison to a 99 but i aint got the money for that yet. plus i gotta get my 90 working better for winter beater. lol
