would an ej205 fit in my honda prelude? any engine swap ideas? Cause im buying an engine
>>17308527
No you're not.
>>17308555
even if it's an h im buying one cause my engine is fukt
why would you swap a shitty Subbie engine into anything
thats how we know its bait
no one is that stupid except for VW guys
everyone else knows you go with a H23 VTEC
>>17308527
Why.
>No transmission tunnel
>No room between shock towers
>Need custom engine mounts
>Need a diff
>Need custom diff mounts
>Need custom driveshaft
>Need custom hubs
>Need custom CV axles
>Shitty engine
>>17308527
Why would you swap a great engine for a shitty one?
>>17308898
Not OP, but H series are ass. They're heavy as all fuck and burn oil like mad, even for a Honda.
>>17308903
Maybe he should just buy a Honda engine instead of a shitty Subaru engine
>>17308903
yeah that whole 30 lbs over a B series is crazy
nevermind the extra power and torque
>>17308917
Are you referencing the honda-tech post where the guy compared an H22 (without balance shafts) to a B16? All without weighing ancillary components, transmissions, or wet weight?
>>17308917
The full h22 assembly is 80 pounds heavier than than a b18.
turbo 13b connected to k series trans. do it.
>>17308977
so still literally nothing
nice to know
H has more potential too
no replacement for displacement
>>17309000
That's 20% more weight over the front wheels on a front heavy platform you massive faggot.
>>17308977
So just remove spare tire,tools and maybe backseats to counter weight gain
>>17309016
you the kind of dipshit thatd swap in a shit engine to save weight
thats like a 4% increase on something like a Civic lmao
fucking nothing you benchracing fucktard
>>17309036
and holy shit a D series is 100 lbs lighter than a B series
why the fuck would you ever swap one?
we should all be running single cammers goddamnit think of the weight!
>>17309055
when I swapped the d15z1 in my hatch to a turbo b18 and all the trimmings the weight was very noticeable compared to the d series. IMO I think it was enough difference that if the D and it's transmission was as capable at the time of my build then it would've stayed.
>>17309036
Considering civics run 60-40 weight biases stock, that is a lot. I actually like to take my cars to the track and have in fact owned a prelude. The engine is fine for dailying, but nobody cares about it because nobody cares about making power under 3k rpm while burning oil to get there - all while actually weighing a shitload more. No sane fucking person swaps an H series into anything unless its for drag (fwd lol).
Why bring up a fucking d series? Do you really need to strawman that hard to feel better about yourself? I get the feeling youre the bench racer here.
>>17309103
sorry anon
youre the dumbass obsessing over weight
dont act like its irrelevant just because it btfos your tarded argument
stay mad fgt
>>17309118
Did your gf dump you for a B18, anon? Tell us how you really feel.
>>17309141
:eyeroll
good damage control you got there
>>17309036
>b series
>shit
>can make 400+whp on stock internals
>h22's break ringlands on 7psi
>>17309179
wrong
never called B series shit either
but thats not impressive at all in any way shape or form (even my 80s SOHC can do 440whp on stock internals while making more torque than a 800whp Honda lmao) and a H22 can do it just fine
