I bought my 3rd Honda but my first prelude 2 weeks ago. It's in very good condition, I was wondering is, the engine is a B20A5 what does that mean?

[spiffyguido]

It means it's a 2.0 litre fuel injected engine. Most of the 3rd generation Preludes have this motor.

Welcome to the forums. We'd love to see pics of your car.

If you have more specific questions about the engine, don't be afraid to ask.

[1989si4ws]

Thanks, I'll get some pics up today.

How do I post pics off my iPhone ???

[spiffyguido]

Use the full reply mode, and then upload attachments.

[1989si4ws]

I can't figure it out

[1989si4ws]

Guess there won't be any pic's

[spiffyguido]

Alternately, email the pics to forumadmin@preludedriver.com with a link to this topic and I'll have the admin post them to this thread.

[1989si4ws]

Ok I emailed them so hopefully you got them and can post them for me, thanks

So far all I've done is remove the air intake silence tubing and polished the factory paint job

What's the best brand of spark plugs to use and where could I get a set of red plug wires from?

[spiffyguido]

Nice! Your car looks super clean. Nicely done.

For spark plugs you should always use the ones suggested by Honda. In your case, they will be some NGK plugs.

According to my manual, your car should take NGK BCPR6EY-N-11 plugs. Check your hood sticker to be sure though.

We even have a video about that:




As for the plug wires, NGK makes a good premium set, but they're blue. If you want red, I'd try to find if MSD has some; a lot of their products are red.

Ok I'll check the stickers, thanks

So I was at the parts store earlier gettin a replacement clutch pedel pad and this tow truck driver comes in telling me how good the car drives and handles, I agreed and said something about lowering it, he says it used to be when I had it, this is not the guy I bought it from now, so I asked if he bought it new, he says no, but his dad did, that was really cool! He tells me that the speedo cable was broke at one time and there is less than 100,000 miles on the car, back to the lowering part, he tells me that the car has adjustable torque arms, take to an alignment shop and they can lower it back down but it would have a rough ride, is the for real or maybe cause the stock springs are just being compressed?
