h23 intake mani questions??? which prelude?

[Jon]

one other question reguarding the swap. i have a automatic, do i need to get automatic specific parts are will everything be the same? are the throttle bodies different in auto vs manual?

The only difference is that the TB on an automatic has a plate that attaches to the TB thats for the transmission... all you have to do is swap it over to your new TB. Not an issue.

So other then that, everything is the same.

thx frootloops! so just take the plate from my TB. sounds easy enough :P makes it easier to get parts too :P

few more Q'S

i wanna get an extra iab plate to use as a spacer. can i get a plate from a h22? i know an a6 and h23 will work. just seeing if a h22 plate will too or if they even have a plate.

also, will the black box from the h23 IM work or does it have to be a a6 black box.

one more thing, the auto trans has that plate, will it matter if i use a h22/23 tb with a bigger bore then my f22 tb?

The IAB plate from an H22 should be the same.

As for the black box, same thing.

Nope.

Another place to lookout for H23 IMs is in the For Sale Thread in the Prelude Forum on Honda-Tech. I picked up an H23 IM with TB and a majority of the sensors, with the EGR removed and holes filled for $50 shipped. Saved me a lot of time and money, so just dig around there. I've seen a Maxbore H23 IM and TB being sold on there for $50 + shipping recently, just keep an eye out..

owequitit did a pretty good write up on this topic that i followed when i did my a6/h23/iab spacer swap

take pics of your old setup before u rip it apart so you know where vacuum lines go

[sdhardcoregamer]

ya ive been looking over it. but some of it confuses me lol. stuff about the different valves and models. just reading certain parts kinda got me lost >.>

[liljohn92lx]

sorry not trying to thread jack but i was woundering why not run an aftermarket IM insted of a oem. i found one from obx for a 92 lude h23. just askin why everyone is opting for stock parts.

[93accordexcoupe]

because stock parts can be found at a junkyard for dirt cheap, or free if u know what i mean

the stock h23 plenum flows much better then the f series plenums

yes i do... but as for aftermarket is it a big difference in flow or just say f it and go stock h23 with not much difference?

[93accordexcoupe]

my setup right now is a6 runners, double stacked iab plate, and an h23 plenum and i was very happy with the gains, seat of the pants feel had to be 5-7 hp.
