what's the difference? i donno much about engine types.... just finished learning about SUSPENSIONS~ need to work on engine~ so guys~ FEED ME!!!

they are completely different engines, different cars etc....

I'll start off with the Prelude motor is an H series motor and the ITR motor is a B series motor.

i need more infos than that~ come on guys!~ help me~

NtPReLuDe · 07-31-2002, 01:28 AM

ones a b series 1.8l the other's a 2.2 H series. What would you like to know?

Hyojiggy · 07-31-2002, 01:31 AM

so... i think i've seen H22A1? what's that?

NtPReLuDe · 07-31-2002, 01:33 AM

a prelude motor, H series 2.2 liters a1 I believe is for the older 4th gen motor code. Their motors are closed deck design. The 5th gen's have a open deck design and is a H22A4

doesn't Civic SI use same engine as preludes? if it is.. how come the HP on SI is lower?

NtPReLuDe · 07-31-2002, 01:41 AM

no they don't

Hyojiggy · 07-31-2002, 01:43 AM

uhg.... i'm more confused...

NtPReLuDe · 07-31-2002, 01:45 AM

different cars, different engines, whats so confusing?

j_s2000 · 07-31-2002, 01:56 AM

civic si has the same hp as the prelude si, but the engine is different one is b-series, another is H23. type-r engine is b18, prelude are h22a, b18 has light weight i guess, but what made type-r fast is not its engine, is its their chassis's weight. if you put a prelude engine in a type-r, and a type-r engine in a prelude, you would only make the type-r go faster and prelude slower. engine ain't everything, and h22a1 has 10 hp less and 2 more torque than h22a4

Hyojiggy · 07-31-2002, 12:24 PM

ah~~ cool~

Ruchmate · 07-31-2002, 12:53 PM

Unless you meant an Accord Type-R in which case it did have an H22a.....

azninside · 07-31-2002, 01:03 PM

you're goin to confuse him even more

sorry it is the other way arround...

The 4th gen vtec i believe has the same engines as 5th gens...adn the H22A1 is the j spec engine, the H22A4,,is the USDM and CDN engines, the Accord Type R in the UK now have a H22A7 engine. Some Preludes in Europe have the Civic EX engine in them but they also weigh less than ours

also, think of it this way....a Type R is an integ and a H22A is for preludes....most of the time there is a different engine in different models of cars.

there are quite a few differences between an ITR/Prelude....just search for any thread asking "which will win - Type R or Prelude" or anything similar to it discussing racing between an ITR/Prelude an you'll see all the differences between the cars.

b18 is in a type r which is a smaller motor and also it rotates the opposite direction as the h22 motor that comes in prelude. the main reason why a type can beat the preludes is cause of the weight difference in both cars. type r=2600 and preludes around 3000 although the prelude has a larger motor the weight hold it back and thats why a type r is pretty fast only cause it has a lighter chassis.

Apples and oranges man.. apples and oranges!

Nobody mentioned that the B18C5(Type-R engine) has a much higher redline than the rest of the Honda engines? :roleyes:

B18C5- built for high-revving, lacks torque and HP under 5k rpms.
H22A - different variations of the block used on different Preludes.
decent torque (for a Honda at least) for daily driving, good hi-rpm power, but not as high strung an engine vs. the type-R's.

Hope this helps!

H22a1 is OBDI, H22a4 is OBDII....
