5th gen vs. 4th gen

[BlackLude97]

Here's a poll just for the heck of it, which one do you like better?

[PreludeToGreatness]

Personally I think the exterior looks better on a 4th gen. But not by a whole lot. Interior is better on the 5th gen, but I like the 4th gen to. It's unique. The thing I like least about the 4th gen is there isn't much trunk space for my golf clubs . . I guess there could be worse problems though.

I dont like the body of the 5th gen even the best modified I have seen only can give a 8/10 but I have seen a modified 4th that makes me want to, well its 10/10. :flash:

[Phily]

I like the 5th gen simply cause its newer
and its the car that i have !!
lol


but to tell you the truth
to me their both very unique cars

Both has its high points and low points

The best prelude i have every seen is
my friend's 94' Prelude

He fixed the hell out of it to 275 hp NA yes and i mean NA
I have no clue how he did it
but he put a lot of work into it!!!

I've riden in it....and all i can say is HOLY !@#$
It was damn fast!!!

bah.....the 4g prelude is outa style, old news, kinda like an '85 civic. it reminds me of a fat girls, big round buldges and a big round ass. the 5g is clean, smart, and very exquisite. besides, for some reason, you never see a riced out 5g, but 75% of 4gs are.

I probably favor the 4th gen more because I own one but I just can't stand the headlights.

That and I bought my car to mod. From what I hear the 5th gens don't respond as well as the 92-95s becasue of OBD II and I have actually seen almost identical setups and the 4th gen always has more HP. And both cars actually way about the same.

[cybercrx00]

that's funny, because I saw a dohc vtec prelude 4g with i/h/e, msd, and some plug wires dyno 125, while a bone stock 5g also dynoed 125, on the same dyno the same day.

[riptide101]

I don't know what was wrong with the dyno then. I dynoed my H23 at 144.3 and after my H22a swap I dynoed 160 and those are both bone stock. I have never seen bad numbers like that on either engine, especially with mods.

[cybercrx00]

sorry, this was at 5800ft, ummm corrected would be around 155

[dbiggss]

I dont understand why everyone likes the fourth gens better than the fifths. Personally i think a fifth gen looks sooooo sweet even stock. fourth gens are nice but not compared to theit newer counterparts

[Melt]

The 5th gen looks sweeter and is newer, but the 4th gen will always be faster with equal mods.

[cybercrx00]

i don't understand this, a friend's dohc vtec 4g had a whole pile of mods, and dynoed the same as another friend's stock 5g on the same dyno they same day. given there is a small weight difference, it took more than just i/h/e to equal a stock 5g

[MARKUSIUDIUS]

In Oz a 4th gen weighs between 2720 and 2750 pounds and the 5th gen is between 2800 and 2890 pounds. A think its a little bit more then a little. :flash:
P.S. The coefficientcy in the wind tunnel on the 4th gens body is better as well.

i have to go with MARKUSIUDIUS on this one not only is weight a big factor on which one is faster but also look at your engine choices you have 1 engine you can get with 5g witch is the 2.2ltr v-tec 4g has 2 2.2 and 2.3 also to do mods to a 5th you are more limeted with v-tec because sorry too say your compression is way too high they put all the power behind the v-tec so where does that leave you with turbo nitrous or superchargers with very little room my question is who thinks v-tec is better then none v-tec im talking mod wise???? its 2.3 ltr against 2.2ltr vtec witch one is faster?

[cybercrx00]

first off, under the hood is very similar. as for engine choices, the 2.2 sohc engine is crap and does not belong in a sports car, and the 2.3 is put in it's place by the vtec engine, so why not just offer one really good engine. the engines in the 4g and 5 g are very similar, so modding is about the same. as for weight, 2750 compared to 2800 is not that much of a difference, but the hp difference is 190 to 200, so any of the weight should be made up by horsepower. the transmission gearing is very similar also, so overal, it is a driver's race, even though i have yet to lose to a 4g vtec, even bolt on ones, in my stock prelude. but the 5g has a better sounding stereo, and sh outhandles any of the 4g's, so there are a lot of similarities and differences.
