Lude Generation

Right guys im in the process of planning the what needs and what i want to be done on my lude...This is a complete amature question well kinda two of.

Im looking at uprating certain sections i.e. engine, suspension so this is kinda a two in one question

1. What parts would be interchangeable on my 1992 BB1 for second hand parts if i cannot find.
2. Then where is it best online to find uprated parts i.e. coilovers without being completely shafted in costs.

I know a lot of this will be trolling the internet for hours on end to find those rare parts but this is really a question so i have a starting point.

Is it normal to be looking £600 for a set of coilovers?

If your on a tight budget then id go for bolt on mods

Engine:
types s cams
manual tensioner
polyfilled or es poly engine mounts
type s intake
V2 spoon chip from Rob
plm manifold or similar with 2.5" exhaust

Suspension:
set of used konis or coilovers
5th gen reinforced upper wishbones
polybush everything
lightweight 15" alloys

That should be enough for a fast daily drive without spending too much.
Next stage would be uprated intake manifold & throttle body (atr or skunk2 etc) with chipped ecu and Hondata and tune on the dyno. Inovative mounts and traction bar, uprated gearbox with lsd & final drive and bigger front brakes

You should be able to use almost all parts between BB1 and BB4 with main difference being the engine H22A2 Vs H22A ( UKDM & JDM)
Best place to get parts is this forum and possibly ebay,tegiwa,htune etc

Hope this helps and its just my take on things so im sure others will chip in

btw - your hardly an amateur youve had a few preludes over the years

these could start you off

with those type r cams , what benefits and changes are with those from the standard h22 cams ?

those type R cams, like the H22A8 cams or type S cams are more aggressive. without tuning, they will probably give you a few more bhp, but with a tune you should get a more aggressive vtec and even more ponies

would I need to change anything else engine wise if I'm dropping these cams in, as actually considering it now ? as gonna get another tune ?

do you have a remappable ecu installed already?
nope, their plug and play basically. the only thing i'd say is while the cambelt is off, fit a new one along with a replacement water pump

yeah have a water pump and belts to go on so this would be quite good - handy to know i could just pop these in with no issues and helpful to know that accord type R parts can be used. I was looking at uprating the inlet and larger throttle from the accord?

You'd need to get that tuned in if you went the atr/Skunk2 inlet route, otherwise you'd loose power

i have Robs spoon chip in the ECU at the moment as for tuning what would we be looking at?
