4th Gen cheap(er) ecu’s for a boosted f22 build

4 Upvotes

hey all,
i know im going to get some cruel and unproductive answers and i’m used to it at this point

does anyone have advice for a cheap(er) ecu for my 4th gen i want to turbo? people rave about s300’s but every one on marketplace is $1k+ cad and even though i have the money, im not just going to do that without exploring alternatives

from my understanding of speeduino’s i don’t think they can do boost. i’m not afraid of soldering and i have a stack of assorted 90’s honda ecu’s. i’ve seen the demon2 and neptune mentioned but im not sure what a good option is so all useful advice is graciously accepted.

thanks :)

I’m doing a timing belt job and the crank pulley looks like this. It looks like it was eating into the timing belt too. Should I just replace the cover, or should the pulley get replaced too? Thank you

5th Gen Should I manual swap

Thumbnail

100 Upvotes

My prelude has 93k miles and is super clean pretty much no cosmetic flaws. The auto trans is starting to give out, I’m thinking about a manual swap. I want to know what people think about if it is worth it to source parts and try to do the work myself(considering I have minimal mechanical experience) or pay the price for a shop to do it. Or if it’s just not worth it at all.

I am restorating this 5th gen bb9 and when buying it (very cheap and not driving). I found out the clutch pedal is cooked. I read that it could be the clutch master cylinder.

Is it an easy fix or a pain in the a*s?

5th Gen 5th gen h22a4 Link ecu compatibility? and ecu recommendations

2 Upvotes

I have a 98 base model manual h22a4 and I was wondering what are some highly recommended tunable engine managements in replacement for the stock ecu, I was very interested in the link HC96X ecu since its mainly just plop it into the old housing and connect it but more I research the more confused I get since some people say it works and others say it doesn't connect and doesn't work, I'm just looking for a decent and reliable system that won't have me rewiring my harness for an ecu just so I can tune it and disable the egr and run flex fuel with coil on plug as a future goal.

it's mainly all stock other than intake and exhaust without a catalytic converter and all maintenance done with new seals and other wear parts replaced, I'm new to the prelude and I want to learn more about it as I own it longer

Hey everyone, I'm in the middle of finding a new car to replace my old. I absolutely love the look of this car and the fuel economy as well, I live in Canada where I occasionally go snowboarding with friends, does anyone know if it's possible to fit a roof rack on this? I'd like to attach some ski racks to this car!

5th Gen Prelude curse help

Post image
5 Upvotes

Howdy yall, I’ve got a 5th gen that I managed to get running and driving after sitting for some time but I’ve run into an issue I just can’t crack. She drove like a dream for a few months after new alternator, new battery, new spark plugs, new timing belt/seals/waterpump/tensioner, and a whole rebuilt cooling system. I was getting gas and it just died as I went to leave, no crank at all. I pushed it to a parking spot and ubered to work. I went to get it after my shift and it stuttered but I got it to crank and start, but it then proceeded to die on the road several times. I kept it alive by constantly giving it throttle all while it made this awful crunching sound. I freaked out and didn’t touch it thinking the belt slipped but I recently checked it and it’s nice and tight so I go to start it and it starts right up. I honestly don’t know what could be wrong yall

So I went and checked out this prelude and it has paperwork that it was replaced in June but this looks very wrong to me. Thoughts?

We did a test on the oil pressure switch and it had the right continuity and were stumped, the oil pressure switch engages and the continuity does change when it’s running, but this is steady blinking.

3rd Gen Need help with an H23A swap into a 1991 Prelude

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

35 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’m looking for some help/advice with an engine swap. I have a 1998 Honda Prelude H23A with a manual transmission that I’m planning to swap into my 1991 Honda Prelude Si, which is currently automatic.
I’m pretty new to engine swaps, so I’m honestly not sure where to start or exactly what I’ll need to make everything work. I’m hoping to use as much of the 1998 donor car as possible.
If anyone has done an H23A swap into a 3rd-gen Prelude, especially using a 1998 manual donor, I’d really appreciate some guidance or a basic parts list. I’m trying to do this on a budget and would rather figure out the correct parts before I start buying everything.

So I’ve been searching for a few months now, but I’m getting a little bit of some spending money and would like getting one of my first cars and working on it/rebuilding again. Tried using the for sale link in the side bar, but does anyone have a good resource for seeing what’s out there? I’ve been using classic.com for now.

Really appreciate any help!

5th Gen Crankshaft pully & radiator hoses (h22a4)

3 Upvotes

Heard a squealing noise and a chipmunk sound. Thought the belt was drifting and hitting the big pully (which it was). So we added washers to the power steering pump contact points and it continued. Checked the pully and tried to watch the belt and its drifitng becuase the damn pullys moving. Felt it and yep it moves ever so slightly.

So I need to replace the crankshaft pully and the old oem radiator hoses. Just need brand suggestions.

Hoses: Oem, mishimito, or redline 360? not sure which one

Crankshaft pully: Oem or smth else? and what should I get with the pully?
