Here is another stupid questions for anyone here, because I'm bored.

I've always liked the 90-93 models of the Accord, especially the "first gen", and I even owned a slow ass one when I lived in CO back in fall of last year. I also really enjoyed the last generation Preludes I've driven, but the cost seems so high for what you get stock. So I'm just curious about what you Honda people have seen as far as how these swapped cars drive, IF you've seen or driven them. Is there room for a supercharger? Is it popular to follow the swap with a turbo setup? Anything that's just completely horrible about doing the swap and how it drives that everyone failed to mention? I know it all bolts up, in theory, with stock Honda parts.

Just looking for opinions :cheers:

Should make a fun car. I don't know if the Prelude JRSC would have any interference in the Accord. You could get a Prelude turbo kit and modify the IC piping to work with the Accords body. The only major issue is the H22 has weak ringlands so they aren't as reliable under boost as a B16/18 and upgrading to most forged pistons forces you to resleeve the block.

Werd, lot's people are going with a H23 bottom for that reason.
