Euro-R Manifold

Hey Guys,

So come boxing day i am planning on making a hefty purchase haha and wanted some thoughts, opinions, ideas etc.

Little history:

Mid summer i made up my mind to buy a CRV as a daily, park the prelude for winter, buy new suspension and engine over christams (H22a Red top full swap) and set the car up as a weekend / track car.

H22a swap was going to cost me about 2500$ CAD and new suspension around 1200$ CAD (Canadian pricing) so these 2 alone would have been just under 4000$ Canadian.

CRV was purchased in October as planned, Prelude was parked as planned.

Mid november i came accross a deal i couldn't pass on! 2000 prelude with an h23a swap and function and form type ones (Both are 5 months old and only have 8000km on them since install, have receipts of installations)

Bought it the same day it was posted for 1000$ CAD (Only problem was that the alternator was fried, swapped in a spare i had at home, boosted it and it fired right up)



So now that the engine plans have changed I decided i'll go with the h23a and find a T2T4 transmission as the t2w4 is out of my price range.

Mat it with a 12lb flywheel and stage 2 clutch.
Possibly upgrade the exhaust as i have a stock setup right now, would love the mugen but the complete swap would cost me like 1700$!!!!!

Now my question is what else should i consider doing? Like i said it will mainly be hitting the circuit tracks and weekend toy.

I'm open to all opinions, comments, suggestions etc. This motor might potentially see boost end of 2017

Euro R Manifold would be nice! also were you part of the Vibrant Header group buy?

i was considering the euro r manifold if i can get my hands on one.

Also the car has a p28 with a obd 2 to 1 jumper harness, i have no idea what basemap it is running on.....

And no i was not part of the group buy With the purchase of this donor car all my plans changed in a day LOL

Oh but good find!

^ Definitely

Want to buy!

Swap parts
- Euro R manifold
- 12lb flywheel
- Stage 2 clutch
- Motor mounts
- Timing belt waterpump tensioner thermostat
-Seals (engine and transmission)
- Transmission (T2T4)
- Suspension (wheel bearing, lower and upper control arm, inner and outer tiered)
- Exhaust?

no advice???

Suspension = energy suspension polybush kit and a set of adjustable coilover damper units.
No need to change any other bits on the main suspension, unless you're going very serious track use.

My recommendation on the parts, this is what I would do with a decent budget:

- Euro R manifold - Yup get one
- 12lb flywheel - Competition Clutch light flywheel
- Stage 2 clutch - Exedy stage 2
- Motor mounts - Innovative Mounts 60A
- Transmission (T2T4) - I'd go for a non-lsd (M2a4, M2F5, M2V5, M2P4) and fit a quiafe or other Torsen style LSD
- Suspension - Energy Suspension full 4th gen kit + 5th gen front upper arm bushings and your choice of coilovers

Plus shorter final drive. It's the shizz.
