yes bro! I love the side angle with the long hood and the rear is a timeless design as well. I wish I had kept the h22 and swapped it into a different car
im in love w the 5th gen design. it was my first car and i still got it. a mint body 2000 base model, sitting at the house with a bad h22 in it. dont know what to do with it tbh a built H22, B or K swap, or try to put an LS4 in it which would be ideal lol can do 350 all motor with an LS4. the built h22 is probably most cost effective. the K swap the most fun. and the LS4 the most unique.

The real reason i k swapped my honda prelude is because i dont ever want to play with the machine service costs to overcome frm sleeves for a boosted build, the cost to balance the rotating assembly, port the oil pump, billet boundary racing oil pump gearset etc just to have it throw the belt off the face and have my forged pistons kiss the titanium nitrided valve in vtec. Theres no reason id ever spend to build my h22. I appreciate having a now spare for the preservation of my 2001 ebp type sh to respect that cars rarity. 130k miles. I digress
I follow ya on social and you recently commented on my 96 bb2 swap. I was happy to hear someone like minded on the topic. I pulled my 96 vtec swap to preserve my 2001 ebp type sh
Your car looks beautiful and understand the thought process for the k-swap and it doesn’t have to be fast at all it’s just about the fun doing the swap
Hey man, been watching your content for a long time. and I was going to do a podcast interview with you but I had a lot of family problems and ultimately I don't know what I want to do with my channel. Right now I am debating swapping my prelude to go K or just selling the car entirely and starting with something else. Happy you love your car man! Keep up the uploads!
Ah yes, I remember you reaching out to me about doing an interview. I hope you resolved your family issue and are in a better place now. I can't say if you should k swap but it comes down to what your goals are. If you're trying to grow your channel by k swapping your prelude, it could help but if you had a different car, you may have a better advantage because not many people own Preludes as opposed to other popular Hondas. Whatever you decide, I wish you the best of luck!
I can totally see your reasoning for going K instead of H. Its the same for me to be honest. Not about power, or the whole H vs K discussion (Mine never came with a H series). To me, i did want a little bit more power, going from 133bhp to 190 with the K swap, but K series just IS a newer motor, parts are more available. And not alot of people have Preludes, let alone K swapped Preludes
Im someone who has zero experience with car mechanic, can’t even change oil. But I love cars and want to build a Honda prelude because of its elegance. I want to k-swap it buts it’s just the matter of fact of getting enough money to buy a non rust bucket shell and get a motor in. Either that or buy a whole prelude and sell/part the H22 out to get money for the swap. Not sure, never done car stuff before and don’t know what to expect but I’m excited to do so in the future. I’m just afraid of the rust issues preludes have
@@Rawrkee yeah man for times too they appearance of the car looked so good. It almost reminded me of skyline the way it looked in away. That was the car I learned manual on.
The k makes sense in the prelude for all reasons plausible. It made more sense to me to pull the h22a1/m2f4 out of my 96 bb1 clone for the preservation of my 2001 type sh ebp. That was a no brainer. I plan to be daily driving the 96 bb2 k swap car. I want to use it. Thats the reason i feel k series is the way to go. Dont need to stress it at all
i had my h22 built for 10k 6years ago and it was a bad idea to turbo it. The FRM cylinder walls are lame and you have to use specific pistons. Kswap is way easier and more reliable than h series.
Oh no,you have to buy specific pistons. It's the end of the world. Is that supposed to matter? Frm cylinders hold 900 whp on a stock s2000 bottom end. Pistons and rods h22 on stock sleeves sits comfortably at 500 + whp. It just sounds like you've become a K series groupy
Crazy how you can just turbo a SNC 1.6L miata engine and it tear up the Track (not the light/ dragstrip) and it just takes it ;) almost like Miatas have a superior platform hmmmmm Kmiata hmmmmmmm
That would be awesome! Are there k swap motor mounts for the MR2? I think Boostedboiz just posted a dyno video on their kswapped MR2, have you seen that on yet?
the build looks really good, bub. I myself am currently going through k-swapping my 01 Prelude and adding a turbo. Can’t wait to get it out on the streets. Question; what front lip is that on your Prelude? I don’t recognize it
well, if you're doing an electric PS pump, you can literally mount it anywhere and so ground clearance will not be an issue. The ac compressor sits just above the oil pan and so the oil pan will always get hit before anything else. On the 5th gen prelude, the oil pan is the lowest point under the body. If I were to raise the engine any higher, I'd have to notch a little bit out of my hood but I doubt it'll need a hole in the hood.
only reason i wanna engine swap my prelude is because the freaking h series burns a lot of oil. we tried adding a thing to make the oil thicker and it won’t work it still burns oil. it would be better to just kswap
Sup man love ur videos but this is out of the subject lol. Know where I can get part 48150p6k003? ATTS left pressure oil sensor. I have a 98sh. The light on the dash is buggin lol
It'll be almost impossible to find the part brand new but I would suggest reaching out to known people who part out Preludes. There's a guy in Texas who you can hittup on facebook, here's the link to his profile facebook.com/bceretrofits
H22s are strong engines but so unreliable. My h22 SH engine threw a rod on bottom. Also ate 5qt of oil a month. I sold my prelude and got an rsx-s. Never looked back, if the prelude had k series then i wouldve kept my prelude that had full wing west kit and rare jdm spoiler. Rsx is just lighter, quicker, and soo much more reliable. Wished preludes had the k series, miss my prelude nhbp.
LOL, I remember the days when all my exhaust fumes would cover the whole rear of my car hahah I would love to have a RSX someday too, it seems like there is a lot of aftermarket support for it. Do you have the facelift RSX?
@@Rawrkee haha yeh my rear was always dirty on my prelude also. Yes I have an 05 black rsx-s, the engine is more responsive and so reliable. Been about 3yrs over 175k miles and still running strong. Only had to do clutch and motor mounts plus suspension that wears out.
Brooo, Chris @ebpludesh actually has a second k swapped prelude and its supercharged haha his blue one is a k24 with turbo, the white one is a k20 with a supercharger
@@Rawrkee so I totally didn’t finish watching the video haha before I commented….youre inspiring though I’m selling my b series stuff to buy a K and then look for a clean prelude to swap
Bro this is your dream build youll spend what ever you want on it. Your build my dream building my dream car and Chris is my prelude Hero.
The 5th Gen Prelude is an awesome body. The H22 is a fun engine from back in the day, but The K Swap is a perfect logical choice.
yes bro! I love the side angle with the long hood and the rear is a timeless design as well. I wish I had kept the h22 and swapped it into a different car

@@ibrahimelmi210 Cool Cool. You have a good one brother.
Kswap is the natural step for when the H22 motor dies. Will throw a K24 in my 5th gen eventually when the time comes. Nice swap!
Your car is beautiful and your engine bay is looking nice just like the other guys now!
@@ibrahimelmi210 thanks bro!

Thanks for sharing, Rawrkee.
The K swap looks great.
Can't wait to see what you come up with next.
Glad you enjoyed bro!
I just found your channel today with your 4 year old rack and pinion upload right before moving to Texas. So cool to see you still have this car

Thats cool to hear that you're in the same boat, this is my forever car and so it was absolutely worth it to me :D
My son has an 01 Prelude. Richtunned here in Lakewood wa, said they would build his motor for 10k. No turbo. 1,800 for just machine work
Big respect for what you’re doing in the Honda world. What fitment are you running for wheels? So clean
I think you're a brave man to even do the swap. I want to electrify my 95 EJ1 when it gets more affordable to do so.

I had a 99 sh back in the day such a fun car. I’ve always wanted to see a k swap prelude!!
No way???? Mne is 98 SH, there should be plenty more kswapped preludes now that Hasport made a bolt-on motor mount kit
@@Rawrkee yeah man for times too they appearance of the car looked so good. It almost reminded me of skyline the way it looked in away. That was the car I learned manual on.

Keep doing what you love bro!
We dare you do an all wheel drive prelude for drift later with the turbo upgrade.
i had my h22 built for 10k 6years ago and it was a bad idea to turbo it. The FRM cylinder walls are lame and you have to use specific pistons. Kswap is way easier and more reliable than h series.
ahhh man, I'm sure it was very fun tho. How much power did you get on the dyno??
it was the WORST experience ever lol. I made 398hp at ~25psi on a 6262
You probably didn't build it right then. Many have done 500 whp on only 15 psi on a 6262
Oh no,you have to buy specific pistons. It's the end of the world. Is that supposed to matter? Frm cylinders hold 900 whp on a stock s2000 bottom end. Pistons and rods h22 on stock sleeves sits comfortably at 500 + whp.

Well said and received.
Possible to see the ground clearance and the possibilities to do power steering and AC?
well, if you're doing an electric PS pump, you can literally mount it anywhere and so ground clearance will not be an issue. The ac compressor sits just above the oil pan and so the oil pan will always get hit before anything else. On the 5th gen prelude, the oil pan is the lowest point under the body. If I were to raise the engine any higher, I'd have to notch a little bit out of my hood but I doubt it'll need a hole in the hood.
i hate that barely anyone makes parts for the h22 k swap is a W tho
Where you at? need you to update us on the k lude.
only reason i wanna engine swap my prelude is because the freaking h series burns a lot of oil. we tried adding a thing to make the oil thicker and it won’t work it still burns oil. it would be better to just kswap
try engine restorer
@ whats that
@@pedritx some oil product, been using it on my preludes for more then a decade to stop oil burning
I can't find any parts for my H22 motor and manual transmission either.

Pls make video about kdb bumper

😢😢😢
It cost more a year just buying food 💩💩
That's excluding all the tools I had to purchase too hahah
but now that I know what to do, I believe that you could do it for a lot less, maybe $5-6k
Scene is fucked up nowadays. People only wanna compete for more power instead of just appreciating the damn cars
I took a $600 shell and put a k series into it. If that's not love for the car nothing is.
Shoulda kept the H 😖
