I have cleaned the EGR on my Prelude once. You will want to put an O-ring, crush washer, or thread sealant to prevent vacuum leaks. I am running a Euro-R manifold on my H22 now.
Gonna have to do this next time I clean the ports. Was in a rush bc I had a weird misfire but all the normal culprits checked out fine and then found a Honda bulletin about the EGR ports causing misfires if dirty. Made a weird DIY tool to remove the caps. Guys in my shop all doubted that it would fix the misfire. But boy! That first nice engine rev and smooth idle put a huge grin on my face! Crazy such a small thing had my baby coughing.
I'm considering doing this. How come you didn't get smaller brass plugs? Do they make one that fit your tap you used? I been after the oem plugs but they are on backorder for quite some time now.
Before attempting this, I did very little research on pipe plugs and just got whatever I could find on Amazon. Just make sure you have the correct tap and die on hand. I have metric tap and die sets but used standard sized pipe plug 😆
Need to try super clean. That shit works! Did my whole engine and transmission with is. Used my pressure washer to rinse it. Didn't have to scrub anything.
@@Rawrkee yeah. Had a few bad seals so lots of crud. You can use super clean on aluminum. But don't let it dry on there. Make sure to rinse it all off.
be super mindful of the metal shavings, I brake cleaned, and used a vaccum to make sure I got everything out. I used m12x1.25, just depends on what size your taps are. The m12x1.25 is an uncommon size, the only thing that comes in that size is the Oil Drain Bolt. m12x1.5 or m12x1.75 may be better options for saving money and finding bolts at your local hardware store
Idle air control valve- I’ve replaced it to a different one and it just came bak up on the scanner I don’t understand this problem keeps making my car jerk back and worth but I’ll figure it out🙏98 prelude SH
Thats awesome! I've been wanting to do this for awhile not but I wasn't too sure if there was a proper way in doing it but I guess this should work haha
@@Rawrkee we in the same boat! In the middle of a balance shaft delete, manual tensioner swap and a timing belt service on my h23vtec while my engine is out.
@@RawrkeeI feel you, been a long road. you could just not put the balancer belt on. See if your cool with it. If not, just slap the belt on there and keep ludeN! I did it for weight loss. Dont care about the 3 hp or whatever it is.
Yo whats a good ecu for the prelude… I got a 95 prelude with a h22a engine and the kid that sold it to me told me he got one refurbished and I’m not trusting it cause it looks damaged (ecu)
Not trying to troll but I think you could have just sprayed cleaner in the egr mount opening no? Im sure the plugs helped clean easier but the possible damage could be avoided. Although now that im seeing the end of your video I do like the idea of reusable plugs that screw in and out so maybe just ignore my prior advice Haha. Really tho if a person wasn't installing new plugs then I wouldn't recommend removing them to clean. I do recommend removing and capping the egr altogether and just remove the pipe from header as well and just plug/ weld shut. The check engine light being on all the time is worth it due to the extra room in the motor compartment and possible gains or at least a cleaner burning motor.

I might mess around and use honda bond 🤣
What about some thread tape? See it quite often used on high pressure applications
@@Mubashir4802 thats a good idea! I'm too lazy to grab some washers haha
whats the difference between Euro-R and H22A4
Would like to enquire, 5th Generation Honda prelude , does it support to swap DC5 or FN2 gearbox?

in the process of cleaning and wondered if i could just thread tap and put in bolts.

what!?!? I'll have to try it out, this purple power stuff isn't recommend to be used on aluminum but I said Fckettttttt hahaha

Where can I get those EGR ports after drilling them out and cleaning?
That's a good mod for the EGR Port plugs. Those EGR pathways are know to constantly build up carbon and choke out those pathways.
Hey man I was wondering what bolt you used I’m having trouble finding something that fits the egr ports(thred pitch and size of bolt
Kicking myself that I didn't do this when I rebuilt mine hahaha. Always find the good tips AFTER I've done everything
Just cleaned and replaced my plugs, so much gunk! Definitely gonna mod on mine as well, what was the sizing of your bolts?

You might have to do a deep clean on your intake manifold just like I did. there are a bunch of tutorials on how to clean all the parts, best of luck!
Thank u godly o one🙏🙏🙏
@@Rawrkee P.S can I just have u as a mechanic😂😂 💰
Where did you find the plugs? I can’t find them anywhere
Go on Amazon and search “pipe plugs” most of them are standard sizes and so make sure you have a tap that can do standard size
What size tap did you use? Did you drill out the holes first?
I liked this guys attitude ,subscribed
I just bought a prelude, super excited for this build!
HECK YEAH! Welcome to the prelude game! be sure to join the prelude facebook groups and share your progress :D
My father and I did a similar thing to that manifold...I agree best mod ever!
Thats awesome! I've been wanting to do this for awhile not but I wasn't too sure if there was a proper way in doing it but I guess this should work haha
Does that intake manifold fit a 1997 honda accord ex. Any body noes.
Trying to do that mode on lude What size was the thread you use size of the nut
Great content man! Makes me miss my 01 Prelude lol, been a little over 3 years since I last had it!
Nice, looks clean, I kinda like the bolt look but did you use a crush washer or some sealer for those bolts.
they're super huge in my opinion, same size as the oil drain bolt. And..... I was gonna use washers but I haven't made a trip to Home Depot yet haha
Looking huge brother. Also nice intake.
Thanks bro! Its hard to workout when work is pretty much a workout and outside in this 100 degree weather 😂
Why did you cap off the IAT?
"Your supposed to use two can of break cleaner ... buuut, Im kind of broke" Lmaoooo the car enthusiast life
Looking forward to it man!! Hope this fixes everything.
thanks bro! my car was throwing EGR check engine light codes too, hopefully she'll run smoothly
Wicked intake. Can't wait to see the head back! Love preludes!
Thanks bro! and yes!! I'm also dying to get my prelude back on the road hahah
@@Rawrkee we in the same boat! In the middle of a balance shaft delete, manual tensioner swap and a timing belt service on my h23vtec while my engine is out.
@@dubiousf00d ahhhh man, I was highly considering the balance shaft delete but my oil pan was already installed and I got lazy haha
@@RawrkeeI feel you, been a long road. you could just not put the balancer belt on. See if your cool with it. If not, just slap the belt on there and keep ludeN! I did it for weight loss. Dont care about the 3 hp or whatever it is.
@@dubiousf00d best mod I did on my 5th gen was the auto to manual tensioner swap. No more slidy timing belt lol
Nice one I'm surprised I have that intake on my cb7.

And also distributor

ahh man, your comment was fun to read, thanks! I've never looked into a EGR delete, maybe it'll be something I attempt in the future :D
@@Rawrkee thanks G
Good shit man! Cant wait to see it complete! I need to go to texas to do a lude meet with you lol
Thanks bro and same!!! Where are you from??
@@Rawrkee vancouver BC canada
Okay yeah woooo
while your at it, get a bigger throttle body if that helps.
prolly should’ve done that first before cleaning haha
Hopefully it just means it'll stay cleaner longer 😂
You should spend a little more time and polish your intake manifold
Aw Yeah
YuhhH!!! :D
The clap-off hahaha
😆Still working on it haha
Glad to be the first one to comment
Almost beat you but was distracted lol
AHhh yeah!!! THanks bro!
