Weird sound coming from the Prelude - Honda Prelude Forum

pter · 05-03-2002, 07:33 AM

Only happens when I'm on the gas, usually on the freeway.

It kind of sounds like, waaaaaaWAAAAAAAAAA.
Usually when I hit about 5k or so

Just a friendly reminder to give it some gas today

vtec? i don't need no stinkin vtec!

bah bastard...i went for a drive last night (anyone who read my long ass thread in OT knows why). just opened her up on the highway and rolled. i like it when i hit WOT. 4g's in 5th gear right at 80 mph. it just opens up all throaty and hollers.

vtec is fun. i want vtec.

(loop this argument over and over to get an idea of what is going on in my head among other things)

Whatchu talkin' 'bout Willis?

I don't need no stinking v-smech

2.3L

Who needs vtec, it's only an extra 30 HP, plus the 2.3L is better for turbocharging anywayz. Everyone says if you don't have VTEC you have nothing, but i would rather have the 2.3L DOHC because VTEC is useless in higher rpm racing

VTEC is useless in higher rpms? Umm OK.

I'm not going to say what's better for turbo, but stock vs stock, the extra 30 hp would be nice.

...you wouldnt be saying VTEC wasnt worth having if you had it...

And the H23 is better for high revs

Since when has an Si had a 7600 fuel cutoff?

Vtec is cute that's about it.

Jordan_4WS · 05-05-2002, 05:21 PM

Guys its simple (i think):
H23:
-Longer stroke better for low-mid torque

h22:
-Shorter stroke allows higher revving (also other stuff like piston squirters for higher revving)
-As stock, VTEC adds an extra 30HP up high
-As built, VTEC allows more tunability via extra cam lobe (hence custom grind)

With this said I would say as a turbo car with a stock head, the h23 would be better since turbo is not really high revving. Also the extra cam lobe settings wont be that helpful.

H22 will make a better high revving engine (n/a). Also for a turbo engine with a custom cam-grind VTEC would be helpful cause you can tune them in conjunction with turbo lag, boost, etc.

Anything I am saying incorrect?
