I need a new Engine
Posted: Sat Sep 07, 2013 10:29 am
I just bought what I thought was a good deal 1999 Prelude SH. I pulled a major flip up as it was the only car I didn't test drive properly party because of the area. Found out today it has a fairly large hole in a piston which I believe is cylinder number 3(checked with borescope). I don't know how long the hole has been there and don't have the time to do a rebuild unless it's going to be cheaper which I doubt.
I'd like to get a JDM engine closed deck block. I will probably get the engine and tranny together to just drop in. Who is a good company to buy from? Which motor and trannys will fit? There's also the motors from the euro accord type R with the LSD, will these drop in well and not cause problems?
I am a hardcore motorcylist and motorcycle racer. This is my first car. The body and interior are in good shape so I believe the car is worth the investment. The car is primarily a daily driver but currently a driveway babysitter. I plan on doing some autocross and trackdays with the car aswell. My goal for the car would be to keep it N/A and between 200-250rwhp when I'm finish not with just the swap. The car has lot of other mods like MSD ignition and crap. I want to keep the car honda or really good components.
