Yeah man, I don't care what car you are passionate for, as long as it makes you happy and you can forget about work and all the shit life throws at you.
I've worked with people like him before. The type of guy who has the solution in his mind already before I even have my brain wrapped around the problem.
Maybe he does... but there has only been one successful k swap in a 3rd gen in the world (fitting it under the bonnet... with atrocious ground clearance). And there is a reason for that... it has a very low hood line... Be interesting to see how he deals with this.
Clearly he doesn't Looping the power steering in a 3rd gen will make it aids to drive The steering will be so heavy its not funny The 4ws system basically requires you to have power steering Ive been there, it lasted twise around the block before i knew if had to change And im not a small guy, and never skip arm day so strength isn't an issue
Check all the parts this guy has used on your car mate!! The TH-camr “it’s a stu” has proven this guy uses/sells Chinese fake parts and charges as if they’re real parts!! Be careful mate!
I would never do that. My daily driver doesn't have power steering and it's shit. Cars that came equipped without power steering usually have a bigger steering wheel and a different gear ratio of the steering gears so you don't have to apply so much force on the steering wheel. But if you just remove the power steering from this car the rest of the steering is not adjusted for mechanical steering so it's probably gonna be a pain to drive. You can easily see that when you drive a modern car with power steering and stall the engine - you need a shit ton of force to move the steering wheel then, a lot more than in a car that wasn't equipped with power steering in the first place.
This guy knows what he's talking about. Seems like he has the vision and just waits for it to happen, which is good. He has thought about everything, so the build will be well thought out! Just do it!
As a former Prelude 4th gen owner (I've since had a 6MPS and now an S5), this video makes me want to go back to Honda. Can't wait to see how this pans out... good luck!
Zetec-SE 1.6 DOHC ? i currently make 120 to the wheels with a tune and a exaust. Maybe go for ITBs next to chase for some more hp. In a Focus Tunier station wagon btw @@Deni7s
@@ruikazane5123 yeah im dying to try a k24 block but even with alot of track days and 120K miles, the k20 its still alive. I spoil it with frequent oil changes though
This video reminded me why I love Hondas. The underdog heart of a Mini with the versatility of a Golf, the first time I saw a B18c swapped EG, I was eternally converted. Something about them just... clicks. P.S: the DC5 on the ramp was featured on Fast Car magazine quite recently. The final result is breathtaking. Honda fans: have a read
will being a Prelude enthusiastic myself, I don't like that you went with a K20, I don't know how much experience he has with preludes or preludes of that year, but you can modify the stock engines relatively easy. he will have a lot of trouble putting the K20 in because they don't fit all that great. Height is a big issue and 16 inch wheels alone will not raise the car up enough to not worry about the oil pan making contact with the road. Which means you can't lower the car and if you do it's not much, maybe half to an inch lower. You could have done a B20A/B21A1 hybrid turbo, H22A, H23A, H23A blue top, any F series, or any newer B series engine. Your going to want to keep P/S for that 4 wheel steering ( I know from experience).
I had one of these for a little while, I loved it, it was given to me buy my friends dad when they had to go into wpp, I don't know what was done to the engine but it sounded like a rotary and was really really quick, it went missing when I went to jail for 6 months, never found out what happened to it.
This is a challenging swap. The 3rd gen Prelude's B-Series is leaned 18 degrees towards the firewall. Those K-Series are set to 15.5 degrees in the RSX, but that car is taller. It'll be interesting to see how they position everything because the only K 3rd gen I've seen has a hood with a massive bulge to accommodate the intake manifold that doesn't really fit. They said in the video that it would be close to the hood and that they chose a K20 over a K24 with one of the reasons being the block is shorter, but those seem like safe choices and don't mean there's a master plan yet... If they can make it fit without altering the hood that would be incredible.
Used to have this car and loved it, by that time i had also e30 M3 sport evo and on a twisty road, where power was not important, prelude was faster than that bmw icon! The car looks great on 17’s with tinted back lights ;)
Yo Alex! I love what you’re doing with Toto. You saying, that it was supposed to be an alternative daily and now you are K-swapping it - this is the Honda magic :) you just can’t help but go for it.
Super excited for the build car throttle always manage to use unique cars and have attention to detail such as the 80's intro. The Honda specialist is really nice btw : )
I owned the 3rd Gen Prelude for 12 years. My first and best car I had over owned. Wish this guy was around (and located in Australia) when I owned it as I would have def taken it to him.
Love it! My first car was a ‘91 Prelude Si. I miss it a lot! Can’t wait to see how it turns out! Will definitely be following. Love the intro too! You guys know your audience 🤘🏽
If you wanted an "alternative daily" series why would you get a retro Honda and ASK US what do we want to do with it?, of course we want to K swap it!, i'm here for that Vtec yo!
I recommend keeping the stock wheels. Nothing says sleeper or "nothing to steal here" like OEM wheels. I don't know about brake pads but there are definitely higher performance tires available for 14", and there's more selection in the UK than the US.
Alex! You have a doppelgänger in Edinburgh. I’m visiting from the US and almost shouted your name at a guy in motorcycle gear that I passed on the street. I remembered I was in Scotland instead of England though.
Lighter, shit abs back then, much more options for bigger brakes, more stopping power,bias valve can be installed for driver preference. Have abs out of all my track cars Much more feedback
Me too. This is supposed to be an alternative commuter car not a track-only machine, and he is being distracted by a garage who can see some free advertising and a lot of billed time. ABS is a life saver on real roads. Removing it is cock waving.
@@Zadster i would agree with you if it a was a modern abs system.. But its old and it will probably cost less to replace the brakes with a bigger kit.. Besides shouldn't be worried about locking up if u are looking ahead and know how to brake properly in an emergency💁
Thats what Id do, but a K20 is probably much more readily avalible, much more common and easier to work with anyway. People K20 swap literally everything so there are probably way more kits out there to do it cheaper
@@TheBb6prelude yeah but the K20 was put in absolutely everything through the 2000s. Whereas I think the H22 was only in the Prelude and the Accord of that gen? Cant remember exactly, will have to google it
Shame Car Throttle doesn't do more of this kind of thing. Loved Phil the MX-5 with all the different engine work and making his own. Was looking forward to this but obviously pulled the plug. We need a new project Car Throttle
There is an old bloke (of course) driving one of these Preludes around my town, the thing is factory fresh, clearly garaged & loved by its owner. I'd love to know how many miles are on it. It's also white which in my opinion is the best colour for any Japanese car.

I was just thinking the same thing. Wish the guys in my town cared when i come in asking technical questions. most just don't give a sh!t
The mechanic guy clearly knows what he’s doing. I wish i had a guy like that where I’m from
I've worked with people like him before. The type of guy who has the solution in his mind already before I even have my brain wrapped around the problem.
Indeed ,type of mechanic everyone needs also his enthusiasm for the project gives you confidence as well
I was just going to say the same. I would love to bring my car to this guy and get a tune up. Unfortunately I live in Sweden haha!
Maybe he does... but there has only been one successful k swap in a 3rd gen in the world (fitting it under the bonnet... with atrocious ground clearance). And there is a reason for that... it has a very low hood line...
Be interesting to see how he deals with this.
Clearly he doesn't
Looping the power steering in a 3rd gen will make it aids to drive
The steering will be so heavy its not funny
The 4ws system basically requires you to have power steering
Ive been there, it lasted twise around the block before i knew if had to change
And im not a small guy, and never skip arm day so strength isn't an issue
I've got to say you've nailed the 80's themed prelude music...
Well done.
The whole intro is a rip of MCM Cresta does drag week

Ummm don't get rid of the power steering...
Literally the steering is why you chose to buy this model
Yup
The rear steering is mechanical shouldn't effect it
Agree. 4ws, means it needed PWR Stg. more though.

sergeant_cross_ Yeah hopefully they’re gonna change the rack for something with a better ratio, or it’ll be borderline dangerous.
Hahaha wow good luck with Lewis, better get those parts checked out
6:30 original dials are all well and good, but how COOL would S2000 digital dials look in the Prelude?!
That could be awesome,fits the retro vibe.
It's been done. Does look pretty sick.
5th gen prelude gauges are also done commonly.
but like with blue backlight
not cool
Swapthe whole dash for a 4th gens
I love how honda tech's only motivations are
1)It will be the first for himself, and the UK
2)He wants to make it faster than phil for kicks
Lewis is an absolute beast. It sounds as if this is his 1385th engine swap. Crazy
Dude pictured every scenario by just looking at the damn bay lol
Sergio Ruelas he’s being doing it a while. Used to break cars now builds K swaps only one local to me

Please bring this series back. Why hasnt has been brought back ? Another supplier, another honda specialist. Cmon car throttle.
Isn't this the guy who sells fake Honda parts advertised as genuine?? Dodgy guy yano
think this is the real reason they stopped the series:/
Heard the same shit 🤣🤣🤣 thats y is better to buy the parts directly from the retailer
Legend has it he is still working on it
put a CRV rear end in it and CRV 5 speed manual with a Quaife LSD
No
