11:5:1 Comp. Type S Prelude Build

[prudzzz]

Hey Beyond, I am a new member here and am currently building/restoring a 4th gen Prelude. I have posted this build on other websites but figure i would bring the build to this site as well. Here is what this build consists of -

Motor work:

.25 overbore H22a4
New OEM Type S 11:1 comp OS pistons
Balanced pistons/rods/crank/pressure plate/flywheel
New OEM OS rings
New OEM bearings
New OEM gaskets/seals/belts
New OEM water pump/ oil pump
KS balance shaft delete kit
Rebuilt H22a4 head (milled) .030
Ported, Polished, Deshrouded
5 angle valve job
New OEM valve seals/guides
New OEM valve train

Intake/Exhaust system:

Custom CAI with k&n filter
Skunk2 Pro series IM port matched to head and TB
Holley 68mm TB
Hytech Replica Header
3" full exhaust, no cat, no res, magnaflow highflow stealth muffler

Fuel Delievery:

Walbro 255 High flow fuel pump
RC 440cc injectors
Summit racing fuel filter kit
NRG FPR
Marshall liquid filled FP gauge

Induction:

Zex 35-100 shot Wet kit

Management:

eCtune or Hondata s300 (depends who tunes the car)

I am most likely flying Blake Barr from BBmoto Tuning (florida) to come tune the car. He specializes in H series tuning and is one of the moderators of Honda-tech. Very reputable guy, and has a great resume.

Alot more will be happening to the car including a full wire tuck, an engine bay shave, full repaint, some custom interior work, along with countless other things. The motor is just about to go to the machine shop for its work and then i will be assembling it shortly after.

I am in university so i don't have the most time in the world but try to keep updates coming. The car is currently just needing prep work before it is sent off to the body shop but seeing as it is way to cold to actually do any prep work i have to wait until spring for the weather to warm up. That or buy some space heaters, which i might do.

A final note, i know that this build could really use some cams and upgraded valvetrain but i do not have the funds for that just yet. Next winter the head will get a full upgrade and i'll be able to see what this motor can really produce.

Pictures will be in the next post.

Pictures of the block when i first picked it up



The Cylinder wall turned out to be scarred I originally intended to just do a stock block with cams but since i need to rebuild the block cams are now out of the question like i previously said (until next year)



The block being unassembled (i have an engine stand but did not use it at the time)





The Car itself





The engine bay



Starting the strip down









Starting the sanding down to shave the un-needed holes

Damn Pruden, what is this your third lude now.

[prudzzz]

Some rims i picked up off import concern





And some nice new tires to wrap them in



The head i will be using for this build.













More pictures and updates to come but thats all i feel like posting for now

my 4th, 4th gen freaking love these cars. Who is this?

[drsomebody]

Yeah no kidding, your first one was clean. Angie told me you were about to sell it then some dude hit it. Any ideas what cams you are gonna go with.

[prudzzz]

Oh shit, Andy?

Yah someone wrote it off the same hour i was driving to meet the guy with the money. As far as cams, i am going to either use Skunk2 pro 1's or pro 2's matched with skunk2 valvetrain. Like i said, can't afford it this spring since i am not working full-time but i will be picking them up in fall or winter.

Nice project, I love 4th gens! Can't wait to see this come along..

[1-Bar]

wow......looks great, its been awhile since someone has modded one of these in a while on beyond....

[Generic]

looks great, keep it clean!

[prudzzz]

Thanks guys, I know these builds are rare. Most likely due to the fact the second you want to work on the internals of these motors you start paying redic amounts of cash. The finished product should come out very nice and when on nitrous i should be able to dip into the mid 12's with some slicks.

[drsomebody]

The Skunk2 pro2 will be a good choice especially with the high comp and a good tune

[prudzzz]

Yah with that high of compression, the head work, the complete intake and exhaust covered i will be able have very high (high for H series) N/A motor. It would be nice to have more displacement and stroke but i don't have the money to sleeve the block.

[Forcefed]

Nice man, I love the 4th gen's..look SOOOO clean when done nicely

[Redlyne_jr]

where did you get your tires.. Falken RT615?? i need some haha

[prudzzz]

That they are, bought them off a friend.

[rawsensation]

nice can't wait to see more progress, i've got a 4th gen myself so this will be interesting to see how your project goes, I might go the same way but like you I don't have the cash lol btw what color you have in mind for her?

[prudzzz]

^ Good to hear, hopefully this inspires some people to make some more clean preludes. I am going to paint it that Lexus 350 dark grey. I still need to see look up the paint code.

[dj_honda]

where did you get your machine work done? what were prices like?

[prudzzz]

The head work was done by a shop in the states. I bought the bare head with the port and polish work already done off a senior member on honda-tech. As far as machine work for the block, that will be done by The Block Shop. Great guys there who know H22's. All the machine work (balancing/bore/jet washing etc) will be probably around $500-600. I am just waiting for my Type S pistons to arrive in the mail before i take it down to the shop. That will be sometime next week
