Hey Im planning to get a 4th gen prelude soon

My question is how much faster are the Si preludes the the regluar i know they are 30 more hp, i dont wanna go hard core speed and stuff but i want the power and wanna be able to go pretty fast. Is it a big noticable difference or just a little fast or what. Thanks

 

S = 135
Si = 160
VTEC = 190

Which models are you referring to?

 

what do you mean

 

get the Si... no doubt.... the price difference between the 135HP and the 160HP is too little to be significant..

 

Compare the 4th Generation Ludes here:

The Prelude S is SOHC, the Si and VTEC ones are DOHC. If you want to modify it then get an Si or VTEC. Modifying the S is a waste of time - You would end up putting more money into it making it faster than just buying an already faster Si or VTEC. This applies to the US 92-96 models (93-96 for VTEC). 97 and up are all VTEC. Between an S and Si? Noticeable difference. If you modify it then BIG noticeable difference.

 

The S is a waste of money, its like having a sohc d motor in hatchback plus about 500lbs. The Si is bad ***, the vtec is bad ***. Stay away from the S and get the Si or Vtec depending on your budget...

 

I used to own a 93 si and now i own a 96 vtec and the difference in power is a definite improvement. Of course my si was a piece. I say go with the vtec if u can get it.

 

go with the VTEC even if you have to hunt for longer its worth it becase you will be wanting the engine later anyway... i did and i spent more money just to get it... and i love the vtec motor
