Were they sold in the US? I just saw one for sale in my town and I havn't heard anything about them. Are they rare aswell?


Thanks

 

The Type-S was not sold in North America.

 

no they where not only base and type sh was sold in the US

 

...but if it has a Type-S sticker on it, it must be a Type-S!

 

^^ Hey, I put a Type S sticker on my car, gave me another extra 5whp after the Type R sticker I had already on there which gave me 10whp.
Very nice performance upgrades.


It might be the 4th Gen S Model, which has the F22 motor..

 

My question is what made you think it was a Type S??? A sticker, or the guy said it was or what?

I've seen "Type-S" Preludes for sale here. It's wrong, but it makes sense in a way. The Type-SH was the upgraded car, so if you're trying to figure out what yours is, Type-S makes some sense. It removes the extra letter which also meshes with 4th gen's marketeing scheme, Prelude S/Si/SR-V (VTEC for American pansies).

*shrug*. Given that the "base" never received a formal designation outside of "base", I can see why people look for things to call it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_Prelude

One version of the fifth-generation Prelude, the Type S, was only available in Japan. It was equipped with the 2.2 L H22A, featuring VTEC and producing 220 PS (162 kW, 217 hp) @ 7200 rpm and 22.5 kgf·m (221 N·m, 163 lb·ft) @ 6500 rpm. With a compression ratio of 11.0:1, 87.0 mm bore x 90.7 mm stroke and the VTEC-valve timing, lift and duration were adjusted to 12.2 mm|11.2 mm (intake|exhaust). Honda also overhauled the air box and replaced it with a more efficient design that is often referred to as Dynamic Chambering, along with an increased throttle body design bored to 62 mm (as opposed to the previous 60 mm). The exhaust system also was treated to a redesign as well, where the pipe design became a more cylindrical shape rather an oval shape. The 3-way catalytic converter was also increased in size, as well as the exhaust piping from 50.8 mm (2.00 in) to 57 mm (2.25 in) (tToV). With the increased power output, the suspension was equally enhanced with 15 inch front ventilated discs and 14 inch rear discs. The fifth gen. curb weight was 1,310 kg (2,882 lb) and had a ground clearance of 0.14 m (5.5 in.). Unlike the SiR S-spec that had an LSD, the Type S acquired the technology from Honda that is known as the Active Torque Transfer System (ATTS) (other terms that may be seen elsewhere that may come up are: DYCS [direct yaw control system], active yaw control system, Active Electronic Limited Slip Differential [misnomer.]) The gearing on the Type S matches all other fifth-generation Preludes that had a manual transmission except for the 5-speed 2.2 VTi VTEC and had a FD: 4.266. The Type S had an Active Control ABS system, different from the others which had the standard ABS systems. The interior featured leather laced with red stitching. Manufacturer styling options including seat lettering. The exterior styling of fifth generation Preludes was standardized for most models. All had a sunroof except for the Type S model.

As good as you make it. The logo is awesome and it looks just like a car emblem--

 

^^lol...

Slap it on and dyno the sucka!

Then lemme know, as I might have to upgrade to new stickers!

 

the amount of hp you get depends heavily on the way it is put on....for maximum hp gains make sure the surface is clean and when sticking it on, make sure its completely flat this is how i got 50whp

 

^^ Use Cement Adhesive, adds about 20-25 torque also.

Helps with that gripping power..

 

this might be out of place but i though the SH referred to the ATTS and gave the prelude better suspension so whats the difference between the type s and model SH. isn't type s the engine and SH is suspension?

back on topic. on all you fools talking about stickers adding hp

The SH model sold in the US has the ATTS system, hence the name SH (super handling). It also has 16" 5-spoke wheels and a few other niceties. The type S model was the top of the line model being sold in Japan it had ATTS along with many other factory upgrades, and is one of the few cars other than a Type R to come with a port- and polish from the factory.

 

yeah type s is the sh but basically buffed up a little. certain things were offered on the type s such as the carbon fiber gauges and trim kit.

The type S is distuiguishable by a lot more than guages and a trim kit.
port and polish
11.0 instead of 10.6: 1 compression
redesigned intake
62 mm instead of 60 mm throttle body
redesigned exhaust manifold 15mm larger w/ dual A pipes
larger cat converter
57mm instead of 51mm exhaust
dual stage Im and different cams

the sir s-spec would also be a nice swap as it has an lsd tranny w/ regular gears instead of the ATTS

 

im looking at a 1997 prelude SH which has a messed up engine inside and im looking to see if the guy will take 2000 for the car, then i wanna take the stock engine out and get a H22A type S. any info on that or feedback?
