Hi, I want to buy a fourth generation and i have a little bit confusion, so can u guys help? The fourth generation has like three base models right? The S, The SI, The vtec, right? Witch one is the better motor in it? I know that the vtec one has the h22a in it and is that only available in Japan? The si has a h23? is that right? and the S has a f22? right?? So the best one to get is the Si in america?

 

you can get a vtec powered prelude here just fine. all three models are available throughout the states. and yes, most power stock is an H22

 

VTEC 4th gens are available in America, '93-'96.

 

so how can i tell if its a vtec or not cuhz on autotrader they just say si, are those also the vtec ones?

 

no, a prelude Si, 92-96, are H23 powered and are not vtec.

available models are:
92-96 S and Si, both non vtec
93-96 vtec

so you are basically looking at S, Si, or vtec.

except in 93. honda call the all the prelude models "S","Si", and "Si VTEC". in 94 they dropped the Si part of the Si VTEC.

just an fyi, so if u put in the vin of a 93 vtec it will say SI

there was also an SE offered in america, and came with an h23

 

most people who have a VTEC 4g will list that in their sale add, it being such a sale point with that generation. Stock ones are getting pretty rare, but swapped ones are fairly easy to find, but then you could be getting into another can of worms. Good luck, you wont be disappointed, they're great cars.

I know that preludes are great cars and I want to own one but If i get one imma want the best and get the h22 one the vtec one. Come its a honda and no vtec for the si? But it seems that the stock vtec one the base vtec is hard to find is pretty rare now and people is just droppin in the h22 for the f22 and the h23. So imma just get an si prelude and play around with it for now. Oh by the way, Do you prelude lovers know what SH stand for in the 5th generation preludes? I think it stands for super handling and i got it off wikepedia and no one seems to believe me haha so what chu guys think?

 

yeah it stands for super handling

 

yeah but i need more people to back me up on this, so help guys!!

 

Super Handling is what it means....


what do you mean stock vtec vs base vtec?

 

i just mean the the vtec trim is liek super rare cuhz all the other ludes people just seem to drop in the h22 in it. Do any of oyu guys know how many prelude vtec was made in the united states? was there only a small amount made?

you stooge!

you should search b4 you go try to take a poop on someone!..!!!!!.

sh does happen to mean super handling (awd). (it does sound a bit childish though)

You better get your flame suit on and turn it to deep fry for that uncalled-for attempt at bashing!
