Here we are ! A third gen lude with a k20 swap, this is so cool and rare ! Too much civics, not enough Preludes, especially the third gen, my favorite. Awesome build !
Always loved that generation of Preludes, must be wild to have that kind of powerplant in there.
Yeah I had a 88 I love the hell out of it there was a guy where I live who put an h in one he said it was an easier swap than a B series
Yes! Makes me want one bad. But he def dropped some $$$ on that thing
i have a 5th gen which is my fav. but my h22 sucks. i wish i could k swap. only one youtuber doing it really
I knew it could be [kswapped] 😍🎉🎊🥳🥶😱✅ PROUD 3RD GEM 💎 PRELUDE OWNER (IN AMERICA)😳😲😂
What harness do you think he used .?
That K-series Vtec crossover is amazing 😁😁
Nick is so great with the tunning. Nick is helping me with my tune on my turbo k24 91 prelude and Len helped me with the mounts he used! Great video
I would love to see your k24 91, I’ve got an 89 and plan on doing something similar when the engine goes
@Kobi Hemmerle not as cool as the lude but I've got a 91 accord sedan tidy power windows sunroof etc i plan on a bone stock k20a swap at some point been sitting on it for a while haha gotta finish my k swapped eg6 1st
@@kobihemmerle1140ever get around to the k swap? Considering it myself
@@thedankestcrustacean9838 not yet, there’s just not enough room, considering a smaller b series
@benjamieson5626Hey thinking on a k swap on my 1987 accord dx hatchback how can I get Lens info?
Had a 89 and a 91 lude....both si ....EFFFFING loved those cars
Incredible
A gorgeous car with an incredible engine
This exact spect was my first car, it was one of the most fun cars i had back in the 90’s
Nice work as always Nick
this is the FIRST k swap 3rd gen prelude i’ve seen ever !
super cool video my man. appreciate you sharing inside videos from your shop. i try to do the same, and its a real hustle. That car, has got to be a riot to drive. nothing wild, but quick AF, and looking retro clean. Well done fellers!
Glad I found this !!!!
So it is possible. My goodness this looks beautiful
Yo, tha VTEC kikd in hella noice bruh. Sounded heavy, super sweet to see an ol' school Prelude so fresh n so lean.👌🏿👊🏿👍🏿👍🏿🔥🔥🔥🇨🇦
Great video! Awesome car!
Dope build !
seriously.. this is the best looking prelude body
This thing is a beauty!
Super clean
Awesome!
Had one of these awhile ago. Red si 4wheel steer. I miss it bad. Wish I could get my hands on another one
Very nice.. clean build. 👍
So amazing! It's people like this who make swapping engines into different chassis possible!
My favorite generation is the 4th Gen (92-96). I would love to add a 3rd Gen to my collection though!
That hood the the cleanest k swap idea I've ever seen
i remember meeting the owner of this car at a 90s car meet 👌neat build
Very clean car
Clean build
Omg!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ my dream build!!!!!
Sick! thanks for sharing the car....
So cool i love Square bodies i have a 91 accord coupe swapped with 98 H22A EX trans 5 speed pit so hard to get money these days to put into it 😔
3 gen ludes underrated cars
Just Perfect 👌 👑
Sounds so good!
Funny I have a 2002 Ep3 and just bought a second 3rd gen prelude after missing my 88 for 13 years! The 90 has a B21 with headers and man it sounds so good and pulls better than the B20. It's an auto but surprisingly it shifts so fast and solid! No issues other than a 2nd gear surge as the previous owners (I'm the third owner) used only Honda fluids. Sad thing is the second owner who owned the car for only 2 years managed to crash the rear quarter panel and front fender, screw up the wiring and ground points EVERYWHERE, break and or lose many interior parts, let rust proliferate, etc. By the time I got it it pulled so hard to one side that brand new tires went bald in a month, leaked everywhere, steering wheel/ motor vibrated like someone getting shocked, trunk leaked due to botched fix on body panels, damaged window trim and weather stripping, etc... but hey the last owner did add a 800$ double Din kenwood, yellow top battery (a month prior to selling it),600$ headers, detachable steering wheel, CAI, 4WS, new master cylinder, new steering rack, new tires minus the ones went bald, new radiator(that is now rusted and leaking due to bad over flow tank and botched install of hoses on the transmission cooler), extra manual tranny with poly motor mount and gauges, many interior pieces, a 2nd 4WS unit with tie rods, strut tower braces, 3000 watt amp and sub and many other extra parts that could have netted him almost 10k not including the price of car... I've already sold enough extra parts to pay for the car so basically I got a free prelude. But I dunno why he spent thousands on performance parts but yet didn't really fix anything that needed to be fixed. I mean what's the point of headers if the motor needs new head gasket and over heats and the installer stripped the down tube bolts and the muffler/ CAT/ pipes are all rusted and full of holes? What's the point of tower stabilizers if your car pulls hard enough to U turn by just letting go of the wheel? A 2000$ system if the grounds are not grounded? Etc.... lol
Anyways I spent under 500 and the car doesn't pull anymore, doesn't leak oil or anything, temporarily fixed exhaust with JB Weld for exhaust systems, fixed all stripped bolts as well, fixed most leaking areas, destroyed the rust and temp painted the areas(which took weeks and im still funding little areas unseen that have minor rust), fixed all steering problems and now im currently going through the interior and testing/ repairing wiring system and grounds. When that's finished I've got new parts and an 2 inch exhaust system, new shocks and lowering springs, tranny and motor rebuild kits with complete seal and bushings, motor mounts, adjustable cam gears, poly bushings, etc... THIS CAR IS A KEEPER AND I WON'T MAKE SAME MISTAKE OF SELLING MY LUDE EVER AGAIN LOL
Sorry to hear about that B21. Best of luck with the piston ring issues
Niceee....old school body wit new modern engine👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
K20 series engines are 20yo already. More likely old school prelude , with slightly less old engine:)
I really like the yellow valve cover
love the classic 3g prelude. for sure they need engine swaps tho
Nice, I have the K20a2 with RBC and My Vtec feels nice at 4300, butt dyno confirms, the low cams rolls over slightly then BAM Vtec kickin in yo!
Sikkkk Prelude!!! 🍒
Nice car fr.the Honda boys
That's so cool!!!!
So pumped on finding your channel Nick! (props Larry Chen). I have a K-build in mind that I'm sure you've probably never been asked about. Where are you located? Cheers
Nice build
Omg I fucking love this!
oh men great video. for some reason i always wanted to do this swap. but i would like also awd converd. but great tune tho for the setup really.
Crossover sounded amazing. Rare to see a k swap lude.
Very cool car
Oh man, It's about time someone figured out how to put a k-series in a 3rd Gen which means that it's only a matter of time before someone slaps a turbo on one of those.... Yeah ! Cheers !
Sweeeet 💯
Ive known for awhile the swap was possible and its funny how close the engine mount brackets are from others ive seen . now my question is .. How do we awd our chassis and other 3rd gen hondas like the much similar accord coupe and hatchback
My dad had of these in red! I wish I could find one to k swap it
Omg yesss
That’s cool
Would really like to get ahold of this guy. I have a 90 4WS prelude it’s my first high school car and have had for 18 years and I’ve been wanting to do this swap for years.
Sweet ride! Those Skunk2 Alpha headers are the 4 to 2 to 1 but dont cross over? Like cyl 1 merges with 2 and 3 with 4 then together? Always thought that design was not optimal, however also have them on my k swapped EG and they do well.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
What exhaust does it have?? It sounds really good!
shout out to Nick being on Larry Chan's channel🤟🏼
💪
Thanks for keeping the popup light generation alive! I wish i still had my old Nissan Pulsar GT from that era, 1986.
Wow!!!!!! Fu**in amazing!!!!! Need dudes channel or info would love the write up since I’m doing the same swap into a 88 accord hatchback
i was going to do a h22 on my 3rd gen but those engines are getting rare. I plan on doing a k20 swap on my lude because those engines seem to be more accessible. What engine mounts are those? did your have to do any welding or customize the mounts to make the engine fit?
Nick, nice result! I see the PC is set up to be multi-lingual... Québécois? ;)
New different header make alot of differences
Good morning thank you so much for sharing this video , I have a request for you guys I hope is not too much to ask , I bought my daughter a third gen Accord hatch back that has the same frame layout as this beautiful car .. you think you can share a list of things so we can do the same to her car she's graduating next year from Lincoln tech any help on this will be greatly appreciated thanks again for sharing this video and God bless you all
I made 235 whp with the plm horn style headers and my full bolt on k20a. Now I think I should get that skunk 2 alpha header and probably hit or get close to 250!
Doubtful
That was probably a happy dyno
I'm doing this swap just picked up an 07 civic SI cor the donor. Is there anyway you can tell me what car you got the hood from to cover the engine?
👍🏾👍🏾
Hi nick, where the map works better? Installed in the itm or the tb?
how much ground clearance does a k20 swap prelude have between the floor and oilpan?
Does it have 4 wheel steering that would be 🔥🔥🔥
Not a K guy but a creative build
👍
Where to get the custom engine mounts??
Hope that has upgraded ABS
Hey Nick I noticed youre located in Ontario Canada. I own an automatic tsx would you know anyone in the GTA who could do a Manual swap for it? I've looked into trades or selling it for a manual tsx but cost of cars in ON is ridiculous
Nice hood prop 😬
Did he go the k24/k20 match to save some room?
Awesome gains from just a header !
what would be a good header for a k24/20 swap with cams ?
Go to richard holdener k24 series. Your ansver is there
Any updates on this car?
Do you know how much I need spend for swap exactly like that?? I have a 1991 lude 4WS
Did you get it to clear the hood?
Wow that was one of my favorite Hondas when i was a teen
Looks really clean
What axles you guys use to swap a k20 into crx with 36m hubs?
I just bought a 90 4ws 5 speed and I'm thinking about get wheels and exhaust soon.. But how much would a swap like this cost?
More than you can afford pal
What harness was used .?
Do you happen to have his contact so I can ask him a question?
Are you on prelude power?
original subframe?
What front lip is that?
Rad project, and great car, however i think this is the first car that ive seen with nt-03 that didnt work. doesnt look right imo... but otherwise great car
5:53 how much cost bracket swap ?
What sub is he using
minute 3:22 he says the tires are 217/45/17, I bet he meant to say 215
Yes. My bad
It would be cool to put that engine in a R53 or R56 Mini Cooper S.
Or scrap the car that would be cool too
Aam i hurting my k20z3 by running fbo without a tune??.I dont push her hard at all
Obd 1 or 2a or 2b?
What oil pan
had to google horn ram header lol. Why anyone would think that design would work...
How do you take advantage of a better flowing exhaust manifold ? Is it by changing cam advance map essentially ?
Since it flows different then it requires changes too the fuel trims so it can have the correct A/F too make max power with it
@@Playermex2 so you would simply run leaner with the new manifold by getting more air in the cylinders on the same tune do you think ? Just adding fuel then and more power, thanks
It's been shown many time fuel tuning makes minimal power changes from 13.5 to 12.5 there is about a 2hp difference fuel tuning is for drivability and cooling the combustion which is why if it's lean it burns a hole bc there isn't a boundary layer of gas protecting the cylinders and combustion chambers which causes knock which is literally removing metal through melting the pistons or combustion chambers ect
@@devinej8411 so you will directly get those 15hp without fuel tuning ?
@@mondecruel1866 nope that would be mostly ignition timing of course if ur at crazy rich it will pick up that's the real gain any real tuner can demonstrate there is a good one here on TH-cam with a b18c
tell your friend to slap a turbo on it and bring it back.
First
