Honda Prelude engine change

[mattemuang]

Hey ppl, kinda noob here.
But does anyone here know whether a b16a engine could fit into a honda prelude 1.8 2nd generation (1983) ? Want to degrade it because of petrol consumption. any advice?

Most of the Honda engine able to fix into Prelude, even H22A. But, u need to modify on the engine mounting.
Of coz, injection will have better fuel consumption compare with twin cabby.
However, is good to enjoy handling on 2nd generation Prelude.

downgrade from h22a to b16a, u will loose low end torque... ur car wont be nippy and easy to drive... but ur mid to high rpm will be much more fun and revvy...
