I did the brake upgrade on my prelude in 2 hours (acura legend gs calipers, ss lines, brembo rotors, hawk pads, and drain/fill fluid)
Did the jdm h22a swap into my prelude in my rents driveway by myself with handtools and an engine hoist in 6 hours.
Installed the clutch and clutchmasters flywheel in my rents driveway, with basic handtools without a lift in 4 hours.
Installed Skunk2 cam gears, new timming belt, new water pump, and did the h23 manual tensioner conversion on my old h22 in 1.5 hrs.
Installed itr rear swap bar and a breaks chassis reinformant kit on my EK in 1 hour.
Did everything by myself, in my garage or driveway with hand tools... fun stuff.. doing an h22 ek swap in a week or so, depends on when all of my goodies arrive.
If your constantly working on your car, taking it apart, etc.. you'll get pretty dam fast. I've owned 4 H-series and my 5th should be here anyday now.. My first time back in high-school with basis installs/upgrades took me awhile, because I had my Helms manual there with me and I was going step-by-step, now that I've had the engines apart, re-assembled, etc.. it's a breeze to throw it back together.
