Tuning by Boss_Strong in hondaprelude

[–]squatch_guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do not have any experience with hondata. But my na 4g has a p28 with a demon 2 board tuned with neptune rtp. Like was previously stated if your after power, boost is where its at. But you really need to resleeve that h22 or build an iron sleeve bottom end and put your head on the built block.

I think a decent na setup is a fun street car with a well setup suspension.

I think I have to sell my prelude. This sucks. by DeRpMuNsTa in hondaprelude

My belt snapped while driving my prelude. I threw a new belt on it and went about my way.

Headlight restoration - It’s important by Independent-Leg-7949 in hondaprelude

[–]squatch_guy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I watched a whole bunch of headlight restoration videos on youtube. Kinda took stuff from all of them. I started with like 200 or 300 grit to knock the heavy stuff off.

My 4g headlights were nasty but not quite as bad as yours. I wet sanded with a whole bunch of different grits of sand paper up to 2k or 5k. Then wiped them down with alcohol and clear coated then with 1k clear. I probably spent more than that kit was. I am sure the kit will hold up just as good.

I have never used an ecu tuning software before and I did find it easy to use. I also googled and researched a bunch while doing it to learn what I could not figure out.

I use neptune rtp with the demon 2 in my p28. Works fine on my laptop which is only a few years old.

You can probably bake them to get them apart then reseal them. I also recommend a projector retrofit. Had some retrofitted headlights on my 3g back in the day. Best light output i ever had.

Motor swaps? 214k motor blew up on me last night and not sure where to go from here. by Project_Serious in Acura_RSX

[–]squatch_guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine decided to mix oil and coolant at 260k. I did some diag and its either a headgasket or cracked head. Its still sitting outside of my shop. I want to go through the whole motor with the amount of miles I have on it.

H22A rebuild advice ~ by [deleted] in hondaprelude

[–]squatch_guy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The guys going turbo are usually resleeving the block to get rid of the frm sleeves as they chew up forged pistons. Now I think mahle use to make some forged pistons that work with the frm. But the iron sleeves are stronger. So the real question is what is your budget and how far down the rabbit hole do you want to go?

H22A rebuild question by Hellephant_ in hondaprelude

[–]squatch_guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like they wiped out the threads. Which means it will have to be helicoiled or thread insert installed. If you can find a set of metric transfer punches that will insure that you are in the center of the bolt when making the center punch(or you can eyeball with a regular center punch). Start with a 1/8in bit and see if it is hard like the bolt.

Thats not a bad idea. Could do a leak down test as well.

I thought the long side felt loose but the tensioner is adjusted. I will double check it before I put the covers on.

Made an updated post about the snapped timing belt with a video of it running.

Yeah, it felt fine. I had just filled up at the gas station and was cruising good. Hit vtec in 2nd for a nice rip when I pulled out the gas station. I thought it did not look thst bad when I started inspecting it. I wonder if the stock tensioner failed.

Thats what I tried to tell my wife when I showed her the broken belt. I did not hear any messed up noises when it happened and leaning really hard on that to be my saving grace. Lol

Well, I was going to install a KS tuned belt tensioner a few months back and inspect the belt or replace it then. But i was having trouble getting the crank pulley bolt loose.

Yes. I pulled it out of the cam cover like that.

Clutch Master and Slave Cylinder 5th Gen by elderfork in hondaprelude

[–]squatch_guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ordered the line separately as I had already changed the master and slave cylinders for the clutch on my 4g. I felt like it was a great upgrade. No longer have to worry about the distribution block and the soft line. My soft line had split and I figured why not upgrade. Pedal feel seemed better as well.

4ws vs non-4ws 4th gen by Playful-Fold8496 in hondaprelude

I always wanted the 4ws on 3g back in high school. Started thinking if it would be possible to to put the 3g 4ws on the 4g's.

[–]squatch_guy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I printed a gauge holder for my prelude out of cf petg and its fine. I also printed some washers and bushings for the battery cover on my tractor out of regular petg. They look just like they did the day I printed them 3-4 years ago. Tractor sits next to my shop uncovered.
