Okay my buddie has this 91' Lude SI that has no rust on it the body is mint but the motor is burning a severe amount of oil and it looks like its on its last leg. Tobe honest ive never seen one so mint in my life the interior/paint/body is spotless!


So he is looking for a swap..what kind of possibilities are we looking at here besides stock?

Also were on a budget here of a few grand so any info u got would help! thanks

we took it to ETD North and they said they dont work on 91' Ludes b/c there not easy to work on and it requires a lot of labour...F that!

The only swap available is the H22.If I remember it should bolt in using only stock Honda parts.

Honda Tech

mostly right, the H22 is available, but so are two others. all 3 are lude motors.

1. an F22a1 out of the 4th gen(92-96) prelude S model (not type S), which has 135hp and 142ft/lbs of torque at 5200rpm

2 the H23a1 out of the same gen lude Si model puting out 160hp and 156ft/lbs at 5800rpm

but granted the H22 would be bad *** in that classic prelude. well not so classic but still very nice, specially in the condition that u described it.
oh and all will bolt in with Honda parts but if your on a low budjet, the other 2 I listed are not Vtec so less wiring and are cheaper to buy. and if you do have the money, don't get another B20(stock) engine. :thumbsup:

Hmm the H23a1 sounds like a good idea if we can find one for a good price.

This is the second B20 engine we've put in er'...We bought a second one for a few hundred dollars, but we got what we'd paid for thats for sure. it only lasted for a year about 25K later its definately struggling to run.

And yeah it has no rust on it cause its been undercoated since new by prev original owner.

Honda Tech

nice, ya the H23 isn't dohc vtec like the H22 but it is a DOHC, and the size is nice, you will like the amounts of torque. anywho, if you need install guides, or anything, let me know and I will be willing to help.
