h22a vs cb7 h22a
I heard that the 93 accord tranny can bolt up to a h22a motor but a heard the gears
will be longer if you use the 93 ex tranny if its possible this would make the cb7 more faster than the prelude so we put it to the test in a race and the prelude was shifting
and the accord was to like normal but the accord was in front the whole time and pulling
away from the prelude. The prelude tapped at 130 and the accord was at 146 in 5th and
still climbing in a 2 mile race
How can this be i always thought the shorter gears would be better

Re: h22a vs cb7 h22a (nelsond)
The longer gears of the Accord are there for fuel economy. The longer gears will also give you a higher top end.
The shorter gears will help you accelerate faster with less of a top end.
It depends on what your going for as to what is going to be "better" for you in your situation.
edit:
Also keep in mind the overall diameter of the tire on the two cars are going to play a role as well. And if you were compairing acceleration as well as top end, the weight difference of the two cars are going to play a role too.

yup. the accord one not only because he has longer gears and a higher top end, but because a cb7 is lighter than a lude. also, im guessing that the cb7 had a jdm motor, which is better than the stock lude h22's, unless its the type s.

Type S wasn't sold in America. You might have that confused with the SH, which had the same power as the 5th gen base model, but had the ATTS system.

That's not necessarily true. 4th gen Prelude (w/ H22) weighed anywhere between 2750 and 2950, depending on year, w/ the 96 model being the heaviest. A 4th gen Accord DX weighed as little as 2750.
With that said, I'm assuming the Accord in question here is an EX, because the OP mentioned an EX tranny. So, it's hard to say if there was really a weight difference or not, since we don't know what year or trim the Prelude is.
