what type of engine

i have a 94 prelude but am not sure what i should do first to my car does anyone have any ideas. also whats the difference between s, Si, and V-tec and how can you tell just by looking at the appearace of the engine

S is SOHC. the motor looks small.

Si is DOHC. the motor looks larger.

VTEC has "VTEC" embossed on the valvecover. you cant miss it.


if you still cant figure it out, look at the block, next to the tranny, just below your head. it'll have the engine type stamped into it.

if your doing a swap, get an H22 man. thats the VTEC motor from a Lude. (its awesome). try www.jdm1.com or www.hondamotorsonline.com. they're not bad
