Post by Hondaboy » Sat Feb 23, 2013 4:02 pm

I'm nearly there with my engine swap on the LUDE turning a 2.0ex auto into 2.0i 16v b20a7 manual
Still to swap pedal box, shifter and cables fuel lines and pump and all wiring etc
Will post pics soon of car when complete

I thought the 4ws had a different chassis
As it has the hump in the back for the 4ws rod bar

Very slightly different chassis but 4ws can be retrofitted to an EX with no issues.

just make sure the fuel tanks are the same too. 4WS has a dip in it. not sure if the ex does.

Its a direct swap. All you need is the rear steering rack and rods, front to rear steering shaft and the power steering loop splitter to the rear rack. The 4ws powersteering reservious is bigger but you wont be effected.
I was about to convert mine but a 4ws came up for same.

Its all in the suspension tab on here http://www.prelude3g.com

I'm actually swapping the tanks anyway as I've removed it already from the old car and it's in mint condition
Got all day today to work on it so hope to make some good progress

nice looking lude bud, if you remove the front number plate holder, the bumper has a jdm shape plate cut out in it and it will make the front a little neater.
