I'm all about the rotary. The new Renesis rotary is something crazy, 250 bhp from a naturally aspirated 1.3 liter! Can anybody say turbo kit? I'd go for that RX7, simply because you don't see them everyday like freakin hondas. Besides, I know alot of people will disagree, but I think that RX7s look sooo sexy with the combat/ricer style body kits and big GT wings. The same thing goes for supras, skylines, and the older mark subaru imprezas. Of course, you gotta have the speed to back that look up, though!

I've loved the 3rd gen RX7 for longer than I can remember, but if they're putting a body kit and big wing on the car They better be able to back up the looks with performance.

I have owned a rotary a few years back & I loved it.......They are sooth as silk at 10mph or 100mph. & at any revs. All you have to do (and do it religiously) warm the thing up in the morning. & do regular oil checks & changes. that way you will be able to probably extend your engine life.
I would own one again. My rx had regular engine changes due to the fact that I was always wanting more porting done.

Any engine swap is expensive. ...and if u thought the h22(3) was an engine swap, its the stock engine for the Prelude.

not in a 93 S... right?

Sorry you're right, I wasn't thinking about it could be that early, or that model.

It has a F22A1 in it

Displacement (cc): 2156
Power (bhp@rpm): 135@5200
Torque (ft/lbs@rpm): 142@4500
Compression Ratio: 8.8:1
Bore (mm): 85
Stroke (mm): 95
Cam Design: dohc
VTEC?: no
OBD: 1 or 2
Year(s) Produced: 1992-1996
In the following car(s): Honda Prelude S

i was looking around for a link to a site that had a H22-23 swap on it and I couldn't find it on the site, not a price atleast. If you wanted the engine, expect w/ mounts to be about $2300, if somebody else is doing the work for you, obviously the labor costs are going to be the part that kill you.

hehe, Boost Creep is the devil on a modded 3rd Gen RX7. Just make sure you are running somewhat rich and you should be able to survive.

wow i was acutally expecting more than that. If i did a swap, i would most likely do it myself with someone. I meen, its not that complicated, just labor. Disconnecting hoses and whatnot and lifting engine out and reverse process with new engne. But of course there would be something to go wrong that would take a few days to figure out, but hey thats how it is.
