I have a stock 92 S, 5 spd., so yeah I expect it to be slow... I am also going to blame my slow times on the fact that my local track sucks, it was so slippery I had to launch at 1500 rpms, just to not spin all the way through 3rd.. Any way how do you other Prelude S guys measure up: 16.409 @ 82.550 mph.

 

wow, that doesnt sound that bad for an S. r u thinkin swap in the future or just going to leave it as it is.

 

fits your name. bout average.

 

The Spoon bars must have helped ....guy that's not bad, that's about what auto h23 does

are u serious.. ??? OMG.. i ran a 16.1 @ 84 with my d16y8.(intake, gutted civic) i think maybe u should find a better track if at all possible.. but if not.. believe me i understand...

 

not bad for a s

 

My local speed shop got in a JDM H22, and is selling the complete swap for $2100, seems like a steal to me, they got a really good deal because they bought 3..., So that may happen in the near future, and bring me into the low 15s.

Satan_Srv: Damn right!!!, Thanks again man.

 

If they are competent, that swap may bring you down into the low 14s...

Don't you mean high 14s, the best times i've seen for a stock H22 are around 14.7

 

The S is the base model isn't it? Should be pretty light - if not encumbered by 18" blings or a 300 lb boat-anchor stereo, and w/ basic bolt-ons, you should have a decent shot at low 14s - your trap speed will be the biggest indicator of potential performance.

Paul

 

Just for your info the S Prelude only had 135 hp and 142tq and weighed 2765, so the time is actually pretty decent.

 

yeah the S is the base, but the weight is very similar to all the other 4th gens. And I would never own a car with 18"s, I'm all about the 15's. I am not sure if your claim of low 14s is attainable, it would be nice though...

 

Your track may be slowish - JG Luder and VEETEC both ran low 14s in 93 VTEC cars STOCK (one at a track in Alabama, the other in lower Georgia) - VEETEC went on to turn a 13.7 at ~99 w/ bolt-ons and on street tires (Toyo Proxes if I remember correctly). Jeff from TOV ran a 14.6 in his 97 base at the Atlanta Dragway w/ bolt-ons (definitely a slow track) - good for ~ 14 flat at a quicker strip.

I stand corected, now I just need to learn how to drive as good as those guys

 

WTF?? are you talknig about the 135hp S? or the Si?

 

o... well thanks.. i didnt know that. 135 sux... so y do i hear people always say to get prelude S cams and stuff like that if the #'s are so low on them? is there a newer version of the S or something?

 

Youre thinking about the prelude Type-S, 220hp stock only released in japan.. this is the usdm SOHC prelude 135hp 4th gen base model

 

hondaZvic: you are thinking of the prelude type S, which is the nicest prelude ever made...I have a prelude S, which is the shittyest prelude (some say they dont even deserve to be called preludes, since they are basically accords) ever made.

armharm: you may be confused, i have a prelude S, as in 135 HP, I ran a 16.4, its bone stock. then later in this thread we started talking about how I should get an H22 swap so that I could hope to get into the low 14s stock.

 

OIC NOW... man... so prelude type S , im gessing only in japan, since i've never seen one here?.. what are the #'s on those?

 

if u want to learn about h22's and type s's and stuff..go to http://www.h22a.org , it gives specs on a lot of preludes and their horsepower and things, great things to know about them, although there are no 1/4 mile times, but useful information
