93 Prelude Si vs. 93 Prelude vtec

Hey I was wondering are are 92-96 prelude si fast? no vtec. But dual overhead cam like vtec and 2.2 or 2.3 like on si. I was going to buy and si I just am struggling to get because, basically I dont want to get tore up in races(noonedoes)so give me lots of advice!! thanx

Ps. most will all be illeagal street races

92096 Prelude Si has a 2.3 DOHC non-vtec engine with 160hp and 156 ft/lbs of torque. The vtec has 190hp and 158 ft/lbs of torque. The Si is still pretty quick, but I'd say that even an Integra GSR would beat a Prelude Si. If you're looking to street race, go with the vtec, hands down.

what about with an si motor boared .030 over and full exhuast,aitintake,headers,short shift?

well Prelude Si's is pretty quick but does seem to lack it when compared to the VTEC model...tho I heard Si's a lot better for turbo if that's one of ur future modd's

I raced a type R integra with my 92 SR(canadian version of the Si) and it beat me but not by a bunch. I found that my Sr is fairly fast, could be faster, but for just city driving it's good enough for anything you would ever need. But for racing definatly go for the vtec.

hmm... vtec is pretty damn fast stock... but si isnt too good unless ya turbo it.

i'd say turbo the h23... .... $0.02

I would turbo the h22 :wink:
