im going to tear down my 95 honda prelude s in the summer paint it ext. looking for the best vtec and all the mods for the best price to put in it feel free to put up pics and all info you can thanks

speedjunkie_g35

I suggest you just stop and leave it stock!!!

looking for the best vtec... REALLY?

So you know anything about your car or a motor for that matter?

colts0455

yea i know alot about cars just not imports this honda prelude is first import ive had all ive got in mine is the single cam 16v motor thats why i put in my ad the 95 honda prelude s that model came with just 2.2 single cam motor i know about 6s v8 ive had 77 trans am with a 383 stroker in it all the way to a 95 mustang cobra to a 96 lt1 camaro just trying to get all info i can on vtecs and there power ive seen vtecs from 1.6 to 2.2 duel over head cam i know alittle about them why i asked

gstrudler

Budget? Daily driver or track car?

colts0455

no not trying to build a track car just a really nasty street car nothing crazy just i missed my old v8 power and that 2.2 single cam aint cutting it

speedjunkie_g35

Ok, it is just that question of vtec and which one is best. The answer to that would be the one that fits your specific motor. Vtec all have the same concept, they are not interchangeable.

VTEC ( Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control)) is a valvetrain system developed by Honda to improve the volumetric efficiency of a four-stroke internal combustion engine. The VTEC system uses two camshaft profiles and hydraulically selects between profiles. It was invented by Honda engineer Ikuo Kajitani, and was the first system of its kind.

The problem with the lude is not the motor but the weight. Take that same motor and put it in a 92-95 civic and it will beat most V8. I have a gsr swap with nothing but bolt ons in my 94 hatch and it can run with 370z, e46, beat z-28 on slicks while I was on street tires.

You are going to spend a ton to build it up naturally aspirated and see very little gain power wise. I would build the motor for boost. You will get alot more gain for a lot less.

H22 swap.

speedjunkie_g35

I was thinking that was what was in it already since he was talking about vtec. Guess it is a F22 so a H22 would be a great way to improve performance with out spend a butt load of cash.

bairdandrew77

h22 would definitely be the best and most preffered choice. Or you can do what I did and get an h23a vtec

1funryd

Yup, or he can go straight into the BlueTop H23vtec swap.




This motor is all put together from Honda and has great torque. I know you will enjoy.

My lord...please use punctuation.

The best VTEC honda makes is a J37A8, just under 300hp stock.

The best Vtec Honda makes that is drop inable in your car is an H22a Sir S, it makes 220 hp.

Te best thing for you to do to your car, would be to research which is what and how each swap would change in installation or parts.

I think you asked a very open ended question, perhaps you can specify what "best vtec" you are talking about. Best in power, best in economy, best is swap easability. there are allot of bests out there.

colts0455

yeah if every1 would read the ad yes i have the f22 motor not a vtec ive got just a lil 2.2 single cam 16v motor ive said that 3times lol ive seen that blue top one around at a pretty fair price im looking for the best fit to install in my 95 lude like i said i want a nasty vtec for the streets no track and how are they on gas ??? H23vtec or h22

colts0455

i seen a vid up lastnight of some guy with a 93 lude putting a turbo kit on the same motor i have can you do that ??? seems like alot on a lil motor but idk he was pushing ithink over 250hp for a single cam motor with the kit on it and tuned and dyno

1funryd

Yup, that is your other option.

colts0455

wow that just seems wild to me a turbo kit on a single cam non vtec lol it looked good when he was done and made me kinda shocked on hp and torque

gstrudler

If that shocks you, check out Bisimoto Engineering. There's a lot of +/- about him on these boards, but the guy puts out pretty impressive numbers. We're talking 600-700whp out of a SOHC 1.6 or 2.2L.

The problem is that what I think you are looking for is the low-end grunt of a V8, but you're just not really going to get it out of these little Honda motors. VTEC-based motors will give you the horsepower once you get up in the RPM range, but you're talking about a screamer and not something that's fast off the line.

Best bang for the buck considering what you are looking for would probably be a supercharged H22, but honestly a S/C H23 would probably do fine. For more grunt bore and stroke them out, and get some custom cams built around better low/mid-range torque.

colts0455

im kinda feeling the way of the turbo kit on my single cam for now is it worth the money ? and time at the end remeber ive got a 2.2 single cam 16v motor thanks guys

bairdandrew77

I don't know which will be better for gas, but they should both be about the same. At least 30 mpg, depending on how you drive

treborx

You should turbo the motor you have.

colts0455

^ yes thats what im goin with do yall know any tips where get good turbo seen some on ebay can i keep its stock and turbo it or need new pistons,fuel injectors, ext

Bouckaroo

just odnt buy the turbo form the ebay seller vahallamilitarysurplus ..... the greddy turbo kit he is trying to sell wont fit, deosnt fit, and caused a huige ruckus on another forum. But the doucvhe is still tryign to sell it on egay.

gstrudler

Uh, how about don't buy a turbo kit off eBay PERIOD.

H22A swap with b4 Tranny (Lsd) is the best for your car, not to many mods needed, you can keep you power steering and AC, and use the car as a Daily, I kill some V8 with mine,i killed a 03 Mach1 02 Mustang GT, and a 2010 mustang GT like for 5 cars, just saying

Crxh22ajdm

I get 30mpg
