Which model Preludes come with the h22 or h23?

So which model preludes comes with the h22 or h23?

h23:
- `92-`96 (4th gen) Prelude Si with 2259cc of displacement and 160hp[

h22:
- `92-`96 (4th gen) Prelude VTEC with 2157cc of displacement and 190hp

- `97- `98 (5th gen) Prelude base with 2157cc of displacement and 195hp

- `99- `01 (5th gen) Prelude base/ Type SH with 2157cc of displacement and 195-200hp

Please correct me if I´m wrong! ;)

just some refinement. the 97 and 98 SS models came with 190hp. the 97 and 98 base 5 speed and type SH came with 195hp. add 5 to those numbers for 99 and up models.

plus i dont think the h22 came out on the 92 preludes, it was introduced to the 93 and up models

So the only 92-96 Prelude that came with an H22 was the Prelude Vtec?. Was there an SH 92-96 prelude? If so, what motor did that come with? And also is there a Type S or am I just retarded? How about you guys just tell me a whole bunch of random stuff about Preludes now, I'm really interested in getting one and I like to know a bunch about a car before i buy it. Thanks! So the only 92-96 Prelude that came with an H22 was the Prelude Vtec?

no, only the 93-96 preludes come with vtec (only talkin about 4th gen) i recommend u get 94-96 because they have better interior then 92-93. i actually recommend getting a 94 or 95 because i like the old model of the preludes better then the new ones and also the 94-95 have the redesigned interior and OBDI sensor, the 96 prelude has OBDII making it worse for modification. OBDI is what u want if u want modification.

theres 5 models for the prelude
prelude s - 135 hp
prelude si - 160 hp
prelude se (special edition) - 160 hp SE's are just a Vtec body with an H23 motor in it( as far as options are concerned, like leather, rims, wing, etc)
prelude vtec - 190 hp (the 1993 model is called the si-vtec)

and yes, the only 4 gen preludes that came with vtec were the vtec models 93-96

about the prelude type-s, it was only sold in japan so expect a really hard or impossible time trying to find one out there. might as well get a high mileage prelude si and drop in a type s engine if u want, the engine might be hard to find also.

i own a 95 lude si myself so i know more about 4th then 5th gens, heres a link for all the differences in the 4th gens

i wanted to be a mod but they never got back to me :(

I'm in the market for a 94 or 95 prelude. Which I prefer the 95 because of the OBDI but i want to run a turbo if i get the car. So should i get the H22 vtec and boost it, or get the H23 non-vtec and boost it. From what I've heard boost a vtec is bad ju-ju. But boost a H23 will not have the all out power if the vtec. What should i look for? :banghead:

its all in the tuning. theres a lot of arguement over which engine is better to boost but the non-vtec is much easier to boost and has lower compression and some of the fastest ludes are turboed h23's.

h22a turbo has bigger baseline potential
but hey do wut you like
isn't that what's tuning's all about ?
