Crazy H2B swap Idea?

[TypeSHLude]

fuck all that h2b hype bullshit, get a full h swap & change the gearing in your tranny, you might spend almost the same as an h2b but you'll have a "new" tranny, your own custom gears, & a lot easier job of swapping it in..

Depending on the year prelude if you choose to swap ur prelude from auto to 5 speed with an original 5 speed transmission you will need everything from a 5 speed prelude e.g.( Pedals,shift linkage,shifter,transmission,clutch master cylinder,slave cylinder,hydraulic lines,clutch kit,flywheel and lots of free time and patience). To do an h2b into a prelude you will need alot of time, patience, and money same process only difference is shift linkage is different and you will definantly need to weld the transmission mount bracket and possibly all the mount brackets in different spots. your best bet will be swap it for an original 5 speed prelude transmission unless you swap chassis for a civic or integra anything im missing anyone can correct me but i would say thats about it and possibly the ecu aswell but not sure and yes you will still need to rewire the ecu to have your reverse lights work and to have your cc to work

I drive a '99. But I see I see. After reading this I might do a full H-series swap, theres a '01 prelude I know of that has no engine I could take whatever I needed from that car, yes?

Yeah I think I will, I read up a lot last night about the H2B kits and on other forums.

H2B would be far to expensive to modify into a Prelude chassis. Converting from auto to manual us not that hard on Hondas to be honest. I have done it to a CB7 Accord about 9-10 years ago.

You would need:
- manual H-series tranny
- M/T ECU
- Pedal set
- Clutch master cyl, slave cyl, and hydro line
- M/T shifter box and cables
- M/T tranny mount

And that's about it. Only thing left you need is plenty of time and some cash.

Hope that helped ya out. If you are interested in the swap but don't want to handle it yourself PM me. I'd be willing to tackle the job.

This helped great bro, jsut one question I was reading up on this and asking friends, they said I'd need a new pressure plate and a new flywheel? And buy 'some cash' I'm assuming something near the $1,000 range? And if you're willing to man, I'd love for you to help me on this, one I don't have any type of tools or a garage since moving to CT. And Two I wouldn't even know where to start haha.

[H23VTECLUDE]

Yes, I forgot, you will need a flywheel, clutch disc, and pressure plate.

As far as cost, it all depends on what you get and where/who you get it from. Generally your lookin at about $1500 for everything including labor. Pm me for contact info if interested.

Yeah I read up on it, it was a fail of an idea. But doesn't matter I'm gonna be selling the car, or trading it. But thanks fort he input, check my thread about the car if you're interested. Family stuff has come up so I either need cash or a running car.
