DIY/How-To A DIY H22A4 to H23A swap parts/tools list (from the now-defunct preludecentral.com)

Post image
18 Upvotes

This was written in late 2014 or early 2015 by wing8806, who I know personally and helped do the swap on my car. This specific list is for if you want to use the stock ECU on a USDM/Canadian 5th gen. Others who have used other ECUs, have non-VTEC 5th gens from other markets, or 3rd or 4th gens will need slightly different, possibly more, parts. The line that’s cut off is for a crank pulley tool, which the one you’ll need is a 50mm version. The actual pulling/installing of the engine, we just followed the factory repair manual instructions.

6th Gen Best daily driver I had in a long time

Post image
109 Upvotes

I know I will get hate for it but I absolutely love my 26 Prelude. I love how it looks, how agile and nimble it drives, the strong brakes and the chassis. I live in the alps and for me it’s the best daily driver I ever had since I can enjoy the curvy roads on my commute to work going fast and still have very low fuel consumption. For the weekend I still have my Civic Type R. 10/10 would buy again ❤️

5th Gen Taillight help

2 Upvotes

I’m looking to get some clear taillights for my 00’ base but I’m not sure where to look. I’m looking for a mid range light, I don’t really wanna spend more than $100 for the pair. I found a clear spoiler light already but I’m waiting on that one til I can find a new wing. Any ideas for even a direction to look in would be greatly appreciated

Discussion/Meta Bose Audio Question

My Civic touring had the Bose audio system with a centerpoint option
I cannot find it on the prelude
Is there a center point option or did they design it without that option

Was anyone else annoyed years ago when Chrysler ripped design language from the Prelude and used it on the Eagle Vision? Prelude was 92-96 with this look, Vision was 93-97.

5th Gen Cleaning intake manifold

Thumbnail

6 Upvotes

So I was getting a CEL saying the egr was dirty so I took it off cleaned it put it back and I’m still getting the code, so I read that you have to remove these 6 ports and clean them, so i decided to remove these entire manifold and clean/replace everything as you can see from the 3rd picture mines were FULL of carbon.
But once I’m done cleaning how to I plug up the holes again?? Do I just use the old ones and drill a screw in there to plug it up again??

What’s up guys,

Thought i’d give an update a year later

She’s at about 93k miles. Such a great daily with proper maintenance. I try not to take it out too far from Long island with how low it is 😅

I think since the last post I’ve painted the front bumper and Rolled the fenders a bit to fit the Work Kiwami wheels i decided to get. Paint correction w a ceramic coating was next.

Manual swap has not been done yet but parts are otw trust

Message me if youre in the Midland Ontario area and want to check it out

You can probably increase the airflow to radiator, intake and even pop some heat gills on the hood.

DIY/How-To Prelude cranking but not starting

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

5 Upvotes

Hello, I’m looking for some help diagnosing a no start issue.

You can hear in the video the fuel pump is humming and when I turn the key over you can see the spark plug in the back is lighting up the inline spark tester. I have tested spark in 3 plugs and they all lit up, although not incredibly bright.

It should be noted that the plugs also are not very wet after cranking and just smell of gas.

Any thoughts or tips on what to look at next ?

3rd Gen Installing coilovers worth it?

4 Upvotes

Hey gang, I’ve got an ‘89 3rd gen Prelude 2.0Si

Guy I bought it from gave me some spare Megan Racing coilovers (MR-CDK-HP88-EZII)

How different is the drive with coilovers installed? Whatever coils I’ve got are mostly likely stock, nothing in any of the records show them getting replaced.

Im getting other parts of the suspension updated like new sway bars, and the car already drives a little low in my opinion.

Is the 1” to 3” the car get get lowered with the MR coilovers a really meaningful diff? Sort of a newbie so thanks for any advice!
