I am starting to think that if it were not for the B20's Displacement then they would be completely useless. Then again.. if it had less displacement then it would be a B18.. So I cannot say anything there. I just don't think they are all that they are cracked up to be.

You are missing the point. The point of the b20 is torque. A b20 with only 126hp and 133 ft/tq is just as fast if not faster than a b16 with 160hp and 111ft/tq in an EF chassis. However the b20 in the prelude's were shitty and not really the same engine as the one from the crv, they also only came with 111 ft/tq which is weak!

Considering the B20B (CR-V engine) has the same displacement and 22 more ft lbs of torque... And the CRX's D16A6 has .4 less displacement and only has 11 less ft lbs of torque... Id say not... And torque is what u need to pull around those heavier cars... Im sure the Prelude Si is fast in its own right, I personally havent driven them... But it just sounds like its a bit under powered...

You are right, 111 ft lbs of tq is definately weak. It just dissapoints me to see so much tq and so little hp. I guess it would work out pretty good to just boost it or build it up a bit.

B20s are just torquey engines is all... Not really for reving to get that extra power, which is why they dont have VTEC... But slap on a VTEC head and u get the best of both worlds... (theoretically, but there are downsides, such as the bottom end dosnt rev a freely as a block built for VTEC would)

i am driving it today so i will judge for myself...i have found a cheap h22 so i am going to swap it out...i'll keep you posted

turtlecrxsi · #24 05-04-2005, 08:17 AM

Can you even put an H22 in a prelude that old?

4thgenracer · #25 05-05-2005, 10:23 AM

yeah,i love my little prelude..vtec is cool

You said you were getting an 89 Prelude Si... so how is that vtec? swap?

No VTEC for u, unless it was swapped, which is unlikely...

4thgenracer · #28 05-06-2005, 07:52 AM

Yesterday, I got behind one of those preludes and it had "vtec si" on the back... I'm guessing rice?
