alot of good info there ^^
at least now i know that the exaust manifold will fit from the 2.7 onto my 2.8 im still interested to see what kinds of bumpes in the road i come across. i agree stand alone software would probably be best. just go to your local dyno and get everything tuned and tested right from scratch. thanks for that link man somethin tells me that bob character is gonna have ALOT of usefull info on what to do with this project

The best advice over there is the same as the advice over here: don't waste your money.

ok. its a small jump foreward on account of i have been put back doing a bit more to my prelude... but FYI the turbo manifolds of the 2.7T line up perfect for the 2.8, no mods needed. ill have more info after the engine if finally bored (waiting on the custom pistons)

Hightone and EJ-

Don't be discouraged by the negative replies. You know the risks and difficulties, and if you still want to proceed, go for it! If you figure it out, maybe I'll do it to my 2.8, too! Good luck.

Of course they do. It's the same casting.
Sorry to hear that you are still pursuing this. :-(
