In what year Prelude did the H22 start being used ?

 

In 1992 the 2.2L came out in the US, and the VTEC 2.2 came out in Japan
In 1993 the US VTEC 2.2 came out

 

Wow...thanks for the response. In a junkyard, this is what I am to look for then?

 

not all prelude had them though so becareful. Youwill most likely end up with an h23

 

Where exactly is the H22 designation ( or whatever you call it ) located on the block ( or anywhere else ) I can tell it's an H22 ?

 

I couldnt find a pic so look here http://www.h22hybrid.20m.com/ its right where the tape is. Hope that helps

 

Wow...you guys rule. This si why this site is so much better then others. Tons more info / help...a lot less BS...

 

yeah make sure it says DOHC and then VTEC in big *** letters under the DOHC

or you can take it for a spin and once you get pushed back on the driver's seat at around 5k rpms then you know you have a vtec powered engine.

 

Well, if memory serves me, there were maybe a half dozen to a dozen of those in local yards...

 

The stamp should be like this, but if its USDM, there is a number behind the "a"

 

my h22 is a 91

so is my accord.
