H22 swap.. Every 3rd gen Preluder's dream. I'd do the swap, but I costs about 5 grand, give or take a grand for parts and such. I wouldn't be able to have the high mpg that I want, but I'd be happy enough with some more power at the wheels. As is the poor thing is underpowered.


I'm just gonna swap in either the stock engine, the B20A (Jdm release), or if they make a swap for it, a D15 or whatever Honda engine has the Lean Burn feature. Only problem with it is the car has a salvage title, needs quite a bit of body work (New quarter panel, door has massive ding, rear corner needs to be cut and rewelded, undercarriage is a scratched and dented up horror house). I didn't do any of those except for the door. Left it open and backed it into a friend's pickup bumper. *oops*. No real damage to the pickup, but it munched my door.

Turns out I might actually be able to use the mpguino on my next car! If I can get it anyways. Things are really iffy right now, but I'll post pictures when I get it, although I'd probably get flamed horribly for modifying the dash on it.
