93 Civic HB w/h22 swap vs. Prelude with minor mods?

[DacusAccord]

Damir, i may be a newb, but i don't think it's nice to be a dick to people who are trying to learn about cars. That's my opinion, and yes, i know what an H22a comes out of, and i know it's nowhere near coming out of a grocery getter, and the NSX's come with a 6 cylinder DOHC, while a D15b is a little poopy SOHC that comes in little non-performance oriented civics. Why do you have to be such an ass to people that want to learn about cars? Just my 2 cents.

Because everyone who has to ask a question didn't search and therefor the deserve it.

I was reading through this thread exploding inside.. then pretty much figured it was all joking.

Dacus, heavy Preludes are slow. An H22 in your hatchback will give you a lot of power while still retaining descent handling if you get a nice suspension set. My car gets up going pretty quick and it only has about 190-195hp and 120-125tq. Your torque advantage will get your car into low 14's/high 13's if launched correctly.

okay.. but i'm gonna need all the sticker u have too... all those +10hp will kill your cars... and... i want farting exhaust too...

No way will I give you my diet pepsi can that tied on my exhaust with a piece of string.

And MunG35, I was just fuckin' with you, I thought you knew that. Don't take it personal. I said I agree with the guy above, you will walk on pretty much almost any stock Honda.

I was looking to do a swap H22 too...http://h22acivic.com/index.phtml gives steps and engine modification tips.

a h22 civic hatch will beat a prelude easilly, idk what those other guyz are saying about their d series, my friend with an h22 civic hatch beat my friend with an h22 turbo accord

people have to remember its all about power to wieght. i can beat many cars that have more power but weight more.

dude whats wrong with these people. sohc motors rule!!! the d15b is the secret JDM motor that nobody knows about yet. it is a 1.5 liter monster pushing 250hp and 195 lb/ft of torque. it was used the in civic type s that can only be found in certain scenes of "2 Fast 2 Furious" it would destroy any h22 swapped civic.

hey i have a sohc motor in my car and i have beat h22's like they stole my money. but then again i dont have a honda. and i do have this pretty little box in my engine bay that makes a very strange whining sound
