Whats the difference between Prelude Type-S and SiR? - Honda Prelude Forum

PreludeForLife · 11-15-2001, 10:16 PM

Anyone know the difference besides the different color valve covers?

jpprelude · 11-15-2001, 10:21 PM

Where in MN you from?

Good question. I was wondering myself. Are those real models in Japan?

PreludeForLife · 11-15-2001, 10:38 PM

Minneapolis region, why?

Yes, they are real models, or so I've heard...........

jpprelude · 11-15-2001, 10:43 PM

I'm staying in North Minneapolis right now. Just looking for a fellow luder, that's all.

I'll look around on your question.

4bidden · 11-15-2001, 10:55 PM

type-s had a red valve cover
siR had blue valve cover

PreludeForLife · 11-15-2001, 10:57 PM

thats it? just the covers?

jpprelude: really? where are you from?

jpprelude · 11-15-2001, 11:05 PM

If I remember correctly, the Si-R and Type S were fifth gen only

Can anyone confirm this?

Check this link out, and click on Prelude. Stats

I don't know how credible this is. You should ask this in the General forum. A lot of them would know

thatchmaster · 11-15-2001, 11:24 PM

Well. Maybe I can clear things up a bit.

Ok. This should help:

Trim (Chassis Code), Engine (Engine Code), PS (1ps = 0.986hp)

Xi (BB5) -- SOHC 2156cc (F22B), 135

Si (BB5, BB7 [4WS]) -- DOHC 2156cc (F22B), 160

SiR (BB6, BB8 [4WS]) -- DOHC VTEC 2156cc (H22A), 200

SiR S-Spec (BB6) -- DOHC VTEC 2156cc (H22A), 220

Type-S (BB6) -- DOHC VTEC 2156cc (H22A), 220, ATTS

Hope that takes care of your needs

So, they are all fifth gens. Cool

PreludeNYC · 11-16-2001, 12:22 AM

.... also has an insane compression ratio due to thier dome pistons, i think its something like 11.0:1 or 11.5:1 either its crazy high....
also Prelude Type-S (which by the way only availble in Japan) has different gear ratios and LSD.
Peace,
Jose

Hmmm. I was just looking at the chassis code and saw fifth gen codes.

Here's another question. Could I get a Prelude SiR S-Spec motor that is OBDI?

Sorry for going OT. I'm just get excited when I see a luder from MN

you are mistaken sir
canada has the s, sr, and srv
america has s, Si, and Vtec
but that's only 4rth gen, and this is the fourth gen forum so that's all that concerns me

there are no SiR 4th gen in north america

I know you're a mod, and I'm really sorry to rain on your parade, but all the ones I listed there are Japan spec 5th gen Preludes. 5th gens were still offered with F-blocks over there, as well as 4WS.

jpprelude · 11-16-2001, 10:46 PM

Thanks for backing me up. I kinda figured Preludeforlife was referring to JDM stuff. This should be asked in the general forum to get better answers
