What model is my car - Honda Prelude Forum

Ubik · 07-04-2003, 01:50 PM

Any one know what model my Prelude is. I bought it from someone who had just got it fresh from Japan and all it says on the logbook is 2.2 Vetec. It ia a 1994 2.2 Vetec with full black leather , cruse control,climate controll,it had a separate CD and tape player.it has not got ABS or 4 wheel steer (which is all good in my opinion). Here's A photo if that helps(though it has chaged a bit since I bought it)My car

Thanks any one who can help

if its from japan its a 94 Si VTEC (vot Vetec) and also you're pic isn't showing up. the motor, in case you don't know, is the famous H22

enjoy your car is a great one and fully JDM

your pic of your car isnt showing up and its vtec

mr. r00t · 07-04-2003, 03:23 PM

Most of the information about the car can be derived from the VIN number. If you list that, we could disect it.

mr. r00t · 07-04-2003, 03:24 PM

Oh oops, JDM. Sorry. =\

SlowSi · 07-04-2003, 11:09 PM

Are there any Preludes from Japan that are NOT VTEC equipped? Seems like every JDM lude I see has the H22A.

Lucke · 07-05-2003, 12:21 AM

yes the 1st, 2nd, 3rd gens all, and the 4th gen Si didn't have Vtec.
and i think the Xi model in the 5th gen...

Also your's will be a BB4, because you dont have 4WS which is only on the BB1's on JDM speced.

Ubik · 07-05-2003, 05:30 AM

Enfield, well, just north of, more Herts than London.
JDM means Japanese Domestic Market.
BB4 means it a two wheel steer model
H22A is the engine code, 2.2 VTEC, 197 BHP

To add a pic, you need to put [img][/img] around the url of the pic.

So, what have you had done to the car?

Home now.this is the story so far:HKS duel drager cat back exhaust,nologey hot wire leads,HKS irridium plugs,DC sports DAC induction kit and an Ecotek CB-26P thing which made a supriseing amount of difference to pull away.

Ubik · 07-05-2003, 06:44 AM

still not working mmmm

Ubik · 07-05-2003, 06:45 AM

AT LAST!!!!!!

U.K VTEC · 07-05-2003, 07:01 AM

Looks tidy

I've often heard mixed reviews of the Ecotek and never bothered with it, but you say it makes a difference? Hmm...

Ubik · 07-05-2003, 07:31 AM

Big difference,and only takes 5-10 minuets to fit.Trouble is it takes about two weeks to bed-in and it sounds like someone is strangaling a goose under your hood untill it dose.It deffinately turned a few heads!

U.K VTEC · 07-05-2003, 07:41 AM

Hmm, might have to try one out.

Ubik · 07-05-2003, 08:02 AM

Ecotek do a gold plated and a chrome plated limmited edition version and get the pipercross filter to go on the end of it (it cuts down on noise and stops dust getting in the thing)if you do get one send me a PM and i'll send you a pic of where to put it

U.K VTEC · 07-06-2003, 04:06 AM

I'll bear that in mind, cheers mate!

prelude styl · 07-06-2003, 09:39 AM

What in the world is an Ecotek?

Ubik · 07-06-2003, 09:55 AM

Here's the link Ecotek

prelude styl · 07-06-2003, 09:56 AM

Nevermind, I searched and read up on it. Now, you're telling me youo noticed a difference with this? You didn't add anything else to your car along with this mod.. you put this on, 'tuned' it, and your car felt faster?

Ubik · 07-06-2003, 10:00 AM

yes,definately noticed more pull-away and better pull comeing out of corners in 2nd

Whitea207 · 07-06-2003, 03:34 PM
