When it comes to their personal transportation,
today’s youth have shunned the large, heavy performance cars of their
parents’ generation and instead embrace what has become known as the “sport
compact”-- smaller, lightweight, modern sports cars of predominantly Japanese
manufacture. These cars respond well to performance modifications due to their
light weight and technology-laden, high-revving engines. And by far, the most
sought-after and modified cars are the Hondas and Acuras of the mid-‘80s to
present.
An extremely popular method of improving vehicle
performance is a process known as engine swapping. Engine swapping consists of
removing a more powerful engine from a better-equipped or more modern vehicle
and installing it into your own. It is one of the most efficient and affordable
methods of improving your vehicle’s performance.
This book covers in detail all the most popular
performance swaps for Honda Civic, Accord, and Prelude as well as the Acura
Integra. This
book is must-have for the Honda enthusiast.
This is not a repair manual, it does not provide
step-by-step instructions for actually performing the engine swap.
