Newbie Skid23 - Prelude 3rd gen BA4

Post by **RattyMcClelland** » Wed Mar 04, 2015 6:42 pm

I actually preferred the Carb engine. The B20a7 was obviously quicker and more torquey but the twin carbs were so responsive and pulled the same in any gear and any rev range. I would love to put some webbers on a 3rd Gen, skim the head and A20 camshafts. Pull closer to 200bhp then.

With 4ws of course.

Welcome in.

Tnx guys!

from what I've heard, the bearings of the crankshaft might be busted. And I also heard that this is hard to fix or even unfixable. Is this true?

Long time no posts... Still I love this car and it has to be built.
Slowly but surely I'm trying to restore the car's decent quality...

- The rear bumper and front fender are sanded & Ready for paint.
- The interiour is being stripped because of some weldings that need to be done
- Dashboard is coming out for a coat of pure Awesomeness (pics will be posted as soon if ready)
- Rims I had (15" tough) testfitted, and they make the car look mad!

The manifold that was on there was'nt quite the right one, so i bought this one on ebay with 2 lambda sensor holes and an EGR... Since my car has the B20a7 & doesn't have any of those things, these holes were filled up with a welder.

The paint is going to be a metallic black, And I decided to do the engine bay (only among with some other small parts) in a specific antracite metallic sort of paint.

Now i'm at the part where I really need to start spendin money...

The body needs to be welded & painted, & the engine needs a rebuild.

Any tips regarding the engine parts & upgrading them in a better way( cams, pistons, etc etc ) are welcome!
